"Sri Lanka's military advances have been spectacular, but winning the peace is as vital as winning the war."Sri Lanka's leaders say they are on the cusp of victory after 37 years of violence, with the ethnic rebels cornered and outnumbered in a small strip of coastal jungle in the northeast of the island.Government officials have argued that any truce would only allow the rebels to regroup. <a href="http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/fullstory.php?nid=191450150" target="_blank">LBO Full Story</a></blockquote>
