Had a thought of sharing this on line, Like to compare the conflict between Taliban shade forces with Pakistan military and LTTE with Srilankan army. There are a lot of similarities, between the ongoing power struggle.Though the military operation is between Army and militant organizations, it's the people of pakistan who are killed in the tussle. Whatever the reasons may be for the military action it’s the people who suffer. Also pakistan army seems losing more in the front line of war against the Taliban.
To bring peace to the table, the civilian government in pakistan donot have options other than accepting the deal of militants for a ceasefire. This deal allows militants to enforce Sharia laws upon the people of Swat valley (remember the laws when taliban ruled Afghanistan). whether the law is good to the people or not, US is unhappy over it. India thinks it will escalate other militant groups to fight for sharia laws in other regions of pakistan, resulting in complete mess of the country's internal security as well global nuclear proliferation.But for the people of Swat Valley in Pakistan, Sharia law is better than to get killed.
Why cant the Sri Lankan government, think the same way the pakistan has done?Why should not they broker a peace deal like this, by giving more powers and rights (more or less) equal to singalese for the Tamilians who live in SriLanka.Ultimately, whther it Tamil or Singhalese its their own country men who die.May be the recent military victory doesnot allow Rajpaksa's mind to think for a long term soultion.
Good or Bad, its the people who decide what they want... Sri Lanka is also a democracy.
