		<description>Peace in North-East especially of those civilians languishing as IDP&#039;s would have restored and normality would have prevailed if not for Sarath Fonseka&#039;s opposing to truncating HSZ in the peninsula. This worked well for UNP govt and Mrs.Chandrika Kumaranatunge. We are paying the price for our leaders&#039; insincere motives behind the peace talks.

Whoever advised Ranil Wickremasinghe to sign the CFA, must have had these conditions prevailing in the aftermath of failed Peace Talks in mind. This brings us to the conclusion that the colombo based governing elite are still trapped in the psychosis of holding onto the power reins by hook or crook. An apolitical southern sinhalese or muslim or even a Tamil would agree to part with some degree of autonomy to N-E Tamils to simply stop this war and peace restored.

Mr.Rajapakshe although from the south, is trapped in a web of colombo elite and hawks that his own thinking in the peace process is not reflected in the gosl actions.

Don&#039;t you look stupid to see the highly fortified SLA HQ been bombed? It&#039;s akin to Pentagon Chief in the USA been critically hurt by a bomber. What does this tell the world? We aren&#039;t good enough to defend our own backyard. 
The condemnation that followed from other nations wasn&#039;t strong enough or provided a way out for the GOSL. 

I&#039;ve always been a supporter for peace. It is clear now, that, Ranil Wickremasinghe signed the CFA only to buy time to regroup and re arm the SL Defense Forces. But, in the peace talks saga and politicised military forgot to regroup and re arm.
It is amply clear that moles within armed forces are in the payroll of Tigers and provide information vital to any attack or open warfare to LTTE in a timely fashion as they did in sampoor bombing. 

Mr.Rajapakshe and Gen.Sarath Fonseka have created divisions within the Military, having a Daya Sandagiri as chief of defense with a track record of swindling, demoralised officers and ranks is not the way to go for war. In other words, SL Defense is in tatters.

But the enemy is well oiled and armed let alone worked hard to plant or buy moles within SL Defense Forces.
It&#039;s anybody&#039;s guess that SL has no chance in a war and musrt go sincere peace talks.</description>

		<description>Democracy in Sri-Lanka died when the europeans landed on its soil few centuries ago.It was agrravated when the british took over,when the brought the tamil and sinhalese areas under one adminstration.It died again when the so called independance was given in 1948.
After that is history.
Do not shed crocodile tears.

The situation will become even worse as time goes by

No body can help the sri-lankans.</description>
