No president finished the war. The army did. If a president can finish a war by himself what do we need an army for? Mahinda was compelled to declare war. After the success at mavil aru our people began to think we can surely win. That's why he kept up the war effort. You didn't answer my question, Do you think he would have declared war if the LTTE didn't close down mavil aru?
How many years have we been at war after General Kobbakaduwa? How many army commanders did we have? The difference with Fonseka is he did the war with modern military tactics. Not world war two tactics. He didn't name his operations according to his gana(astrology). He didn't look for "suba nakath" to start an operation. That's why won the war with a minimum amount of casualties.
Can you please elaborate on the great things the president assumably did. So shouting on a stage is equal to fighting in the front.
The only great things he did was to gain political benefits in the provincial council elections.
This system won't change overtime. Because including you many people doesn't won't it to change. Is it so hard to trust a man from your own class than a person that came to politics because their father's did. That's how the system works. The son comes along to take over once his father leaves the post. Do you really think men from political dynasties really care about the common man? Do you think they understand even a bit about what the normal sri lankan goes through to win his bread & butter?
These kind of politicians will not allow the system to change.
No I can't guarantee that he will solve everything. But why are you so afraid to give him a chance? Because he's a commoner? Maybe 2500 years of feudalism must have hardwired the brains of our people to follow the descendants of the so called nobles or "Walaw" class.
Can you tell me why mahinda is suitable for presidency? The laws and theories of politics hasn't changed much since the time of Aristotle and Pluto. For example the so called democracy was first adopted in Greece & it still lives. Surely it has changed much during the years. But the main idea is the same. You can't compare music & clothes to politics can you?
There are many incidents in the world where people came to power without any prior political experience and still made their rule a success. If you think I'm lying you can research it. You would say it won't apply to Fonseka. So I'm not going to take time to give examples to you.
Can you please tell me why mahinda is a good president? The only good thing he did was to let the war happen. That's all. He failed our country economically and in the international political arena. Can you deny these claims? Can you tell me if our people are living an easy life now days? Can you tell me that the price of living isn't going up? Can you tell me that freedom of speech isn't affected by his rule?
Let me tell you something fire bird, u are a person who finds 100% pure people. but unluckily u wont find any within ur life.
If we look past, i think President Rajapasha did something more than the other presidents after 1990 or even before. So for that I said he is good, not that i accept everything he does.
Internationally he got some problems from some countries because of war. Not because of something as I know.
So according to you, Ancient SL Kings also did nothing,
Dutugamunu did nothing, because his army fought the war, more than him
Parakrama bahu did nothing, because his people made ponds, not he himself did.
If any one lives in Russia or USA, they know that SL use weapons that Russians used in 2nd world war. One of my friends got a schol to study in russia from SL air force, he also said me the same.
I dont tell that Fonseka is not talented, but he is not the one who did all. remember SL has 3 forces.. everywhere firstly president's name go to the history for the war victory. But Fonseka also did a great job.
Ps- im not a President Rajapaksha's follower, even I dont have voting previledges in SL. coz im an Arab, just my mother is from SL and I lived in SL for around 10 years.
If ranil became the president and Fonseka became general, im sure still SL has war )))
