A big Thank for the countries who helped Sri lanka to win this.. I think all those believe that small nations should have independance over their own challanges.

Mr. seruwan did you ever heard that you need two hands to clap. You can only be kind to someone who admires. When LTTE killing people you need to first destroy them. I think this time SL played the game by grabbing all the countries by their balls, rich and poor. Way to go!

[seruwan]

What are you talking about friendly countries? Who created LTTE? India Who banned LTTE? EU Who is selling the arms for both? The rich nations. Do you see any clue? These countries are playing games and you and me are paying for it. over 100 thousand people are dead. Are we free now? If all the money spent on the war by both parties were spent on the development, we would have had a paradise for all of us. At lease now we should have learned our lessons. Kindenss is the only way.
