SriLankan Civil War

With the recent developments, it seems that LTTE will be reduced to a terrorist organization and wont have military power. Hope no one will ever support them. Hope UK wont support them anyway, which it does for many terrorist organization and people continuously. The only way there will be lasting peace is to give minorities equal rights which they were deprived of. As for people within LTTE only the top bosses should be punished, otherwise there should be general amnesty by SriLankan govt. If its boss Prabhakaran is captured alive, India should tactfully avoid getting his custody and trying him for Rajiv Gandhi's killing as its a known fact that Tamilians in India may still support him and he will remain alive for long time. His atrocities against SriLankan civilians Sinhalese and Tamilians seem to be reason enough that he should be hanged by SriLankan government.

US Iran and India

Because of short sightedness of US foreign policy towards Iran in 40-70, these two countries dont have any contact with each other. To begin with US helped undemocratic forces there which ultimately resulted in revolution as a reaction. That revolution brought religious extremist to power. If US had respected will of Iranian people and worked with it, that would have been beneficial for whole world. For now it can still start talking to it and at least have diplomatic relations to begin with. India can be a very good mediator as it has very good relations with both the countries. If it plays the facilitator's role it would be one of the steps towards getting into world politics as a major active player rather than a silent observer as it is now. Both US and Iran can tell world that they are or were significant players who have influenced the world permenantly. Nice relations between these two countries will be a very big boost for regional and world peace.

Duplicacy of UK and timidity of India

It seems UK wants terror suspects in Mumbai attack to be tried out in Pakistan. How sweet of UK to "advice" India about what to do and How obliging is India's Government by immediately stating that Pakistan should try those suspected in Terror attack. (Read here)
1. UK itself always like to try criminals in its own land when offense is committed on its land. So why not this for India
2. Does Indian government still thinks that it is part of Queen's regime to immediately oblige to "advice" of her minister.
This incidence just shows how incapable India is to bring to justice those people who have violated its security. A strong nation needs to act strongly and seeking help from US UK UN and U......... wont help, India needs to have strong policy and leverage so that we would not wait for indefinite period for justice to be done.
Officially India shuld have objected to statement from Mr Miliband, in reality we know its not possible to get criminal from Pakistan but it should not be acknowledgged officially.
