The Indians are doing a good job for Sri Lanka. It is time Sri Lankans dump JVP and JHU who always
antagonize the Indians. The news item on the following link: http://en.rian.ru/analysis/20070223/61154444.html says that India is going to buy 120 Mig-35 fighters. Surely GOSL can ask India to use some Mig-35 to control smuggling by LTTE! |

MiG35 is a beauty.
$300 million for 120 MiG35's. $2.5million per MiG35. This is a great deal for India. GOSL just paid $2.462 million for second hand MiG27. http://www.sundaytimes.lk/061203/News/n126.html We should have piggy backed on India deal and get the latest state of art MiG35's instead of 4 generations old reconditioned MiG27's. (Probably the 10% commission won't be avaialable for Mr 10%.) |

The reason for India getting good deals like this is because it is powerful, united, and since recently well off relative to the other south-asian countries. http://en.rian.ru/analysis/20070223/61154444.html
Pakistanis who can think should be ruing the day they split from India. Sri Lanka and the NE should seriously consider going into a confederation with mighty India after amicably splitting first. Then Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan should join, not neccessarily in that order. _________________ "The degree of one's emotion varies inversely with one's knowledge of the facts - the less you know the hotter you get." -- Bertrand Russell |

Re: Kankesanthurai port was the possible target of suicide b
Dear Karu
As much as I would like to interpret things that way, I can't. For every Tiger that India has intercepted, how many have gotten away??? Why are the Tigers now operating in India which was such a hostile environment in the 1990s????? Recent events have shown that India has slacked off in keeping its territory Tiger-free, but on the positive side these interdictions may serve as a wake-up call. If the Indians really want to keep the LTTE off their lawn, they will have to reconsider their current security relationship with Sri Lanka. _________________ If the only tool you have is a hammer, you will see every problem as a nail.- Abraham Maslow |

And that has of course nothing to do with the actions of the GOSL. |
