War is over, any benifits???

[dmsupun]

mmm good question.OK these are the things that spring to my mind-
1.Peace of mind(no fear of getting killed when ever I leave my house)
By the way I must say that I feel more secure than during the cease fire cause we never knew when it would end.You cant compare a temporary solution to a permanent sense of security.
2.Development
Eg-Building the port at Hambantota,building the flyovers in Nugegoda and Dehiwela
3.Economy
Look I will be the first to admit that the government has made quite a few blunders in managing the country's economy.That said I must point out that currently the world economy is in a bad way and that due to the end of the war Sri Lanka has had certain benefits like an increase in foreign investments resulting in a upturn of the stock markets etc

thanx! but wot abt the high cost of living and taxes??

we built lot of flyovers, bridges, roads, buildings etc. during the war also.

As i said earlier the cost of living is high due to the global economic downturn.
Taxes are needed to keep a country functional,(you will note that no population in the history of the world have ever complained that the taxes are too low) the issue is the proper utilization of those taxes.Sadly the current administration has not been very efficient in this.we can only hope that they take steps to remedy this and show the same efficiency and vigor which brought the ethnic conflict to a satisfactory conclusion.
As for your question on development you must understand that the development of a country is a constant thing.What I commented on was the sudden boom in this development after the war.

finish of war is good for the country in every aspects...specially it eliminates fear of the people, it s a one of major benefits we experiencing now ...and biggest germ of the country now finished out..... now political parties should have to concentrate on redeveloping the country as one nation... we should have achieve development that we missed in last 3 decades .. so everyone have a sole responsibility towards the country to develop as a one nation.....
