The author makes a bed of roses regarding the IPKF placement in SL. If all was well according to the author one wonders why India is still reluctant to put her step in to this ethnic issue. The fact the matter is India understood that with facist group of terrorists who stand firm in their mono-ethnic cleansing even addressing tamil aspirations while LTTE is on board is a utter waste of time. There are way too many messages for India simply by looking at what the worlds richest super power is going through. Hasty decisions will burn India again is the way India sees it. While 20 million people in my island is suffering due to terrorist menance India is held liable in many Lankans minds and hearts for actually strengthening the position, stand and the recognition of the LTTE - the same group who bragged of killing more than 1200 Indian citizens and killed her prime minister.
I dont think India should even recognize the LTTE as a party they can do business with. Once they decided to kill our PM all acceptance to deal with them should stop. How can the govt deal with them on one side and have an arrest warrent of their leader on the other. Thats stupid. LTTE ia nothing but a terror group which wants to curve out a tamil state from Sri Lanka, which in todays terms should not be acceptable to any nation. This only raises the issues we have at home. Its better we look after our own house first and then become a regional power.
