This is the same Lankan Army whose 25000 soldiers, whose morale was at its lowest ebb, were surrounded by the LTTE cadres in 2002/2003 and escaped with difficulty only because the Indian Government's military advice and arms procured by emptying the coffers of the Lankan Govt.
I don't have any great love for LTTE, but to condemn the Lankan Tamils to their fate because of our hatred for LTTE is illogical. Writing off LTTE is premature.
