Well Mr Brown. Welcome to this most complicated region.
Take a look at the number of nations and mediator groups that have skidded into this conflict and fallen by the wayside ( hit brickwall ) and take comfort from the fact that you have been spared. |

Gordon Brown tried Sri Lankan politics and miserably failed.
I read he tried to create this position (analogy ministry) to silence his buddy who lost the defence secretary post due to cabinet re-shuffle in Dec 2008. Mr Brown this tactic works internally only. Who ever gave you this advice must be laughing from both ends  |
