Comments on: How will the War end? http://www.vikalpa.org/archives/278 alternatives that matter Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:45:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: JM http://www.vikalpa.org/archives/278#comment-199 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 07:15:02 +0000 http://www.vikalpa.org/archives/278#comment-199 I cannot believe that this has been written by an editor of a major newspaper. The style of writing, grammar, logic, arguments, conclusion, and everything else is shockingly amateurish and nonsensical for the most part. I agree with the writer on his contention that Sri Lanka needs quick results, not negotiations, protracted or otherwise, unless to discuss the terms of total surrender by the enemy. The government is intelligent and rational enough not to stop such a hugely popular war campaign so close to success, just so that they could begin another round of peace-talks. This war is what keeps them from being booted out from power, and why people forgive them for these unprecedented levels of corruption, nepotism, economic mismanagement, and foreign policy blunders. What the peaceniks need is a complete paradigm shift. I cannot believe that this has been written by an editor of a major newspaper.
