Why ?
Why this news item does not indicate the names of 3 ministers.
It keep on repeating all the history about the conflict, which is of no use to the reader. |

Why not choose Prof. GL Peris or Milinda Maragoda as advisors at least. GL seems to have built a rapport with Anton "Red-light" Balasingham from previous talks. Surely their experience will be useful. Why is it that this govt can only come up incompetents such as Nimal Siripala de Silva to lead the delegation? There must be more educated, well informed people to choose from.

``The government should come for talks with a proper understanding of the history of our problems and the countless tragedies and displacements faced by our people,'' - tamilselvan
This guy is joking, right? LTTE is who did the displacing, they were not the displaced. |

Yes. Then the negotiations can start from where it stopped last time. Now they have to start all over again re-inventing the wheel. |
