The fact that pipsqueek of a country like SL can fire on our people, kill them and there is no punishment for it shows how weak India is. They have been killing fishermen for long time, detaining their boats, I have even read news articles about them stealing the catch from the fishermen. We respond to it by helping them fight the LTTE (i.e. patrol the straits). This doesn't make sense. Our weakness against a non-entity like SL sets an example to the world that India can be taken advantage of and we will do nothing. Two bombs in Colombo destroying some infrastructure is a better option. How long can we let countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, China loving Nepal, Sri Lanka, etc take advantage of our peacefulness.
