    Honestly I dont know about Prabakaran or what would Mahinda do with him!

    Pilliyan and Karuna did crimes, YES it is true! but situation at hand at that time was more advantageous for the govt. to be united with the enemy of the enemy than to just ignore the opportunity!

    Think about this... Mahinda definitely had the idea of wiping out the LTTE, now there was a situation that the people who controlled the whole eastern parts were no longer with LTTE, so suddenly govt. had 2 choices:

    1. Fight them off

    If govt. chooses to fight them off that would definitely be a enough of a cause for them to reconsider joining back with Praba sooner or later becuase they would be the 1st to get killed anyway!

    2. Buy them off

    If govt. can buy them off using their greed for power, there are more advantages there..

    • Now you dont have to fight to control eastern province
    • Intelligence needed to push through for LTTE areas gained
    • Saves lives of your soldiers
    • A slap in Praba's face and also to LTTE's moral as a whole
    • Saves money
    • Saves Time

    So if we had gone the conventional way to punish them, yes we would have done it... but at a huge COST, both in terms of lives and money!! and it has to be said that govt. had to consider that they had limited time at hand before the next election :lol:

    Well, think about the feather on his cap if he were able to do the same with Praba ?
    World Opinion changes overnight, Whatever help up aid will come flying in. The LTTE supporters worldwide gets a slap on their faces and a boot up their asses.
    And there wont be even a hint of another separatist faction for a long long time to come!

    Who says that MR should not do it? If people via a referendum says "yes, let him in" who is going to stop it?

    Logic is a poor way to understand things... but

    My logic is Mahinda would be happy to win hearts of people who against prabha by fighting against him
    and win Prabha's supporter by making him the political head of Tamils.
    With one stone he would get both Kurullo.

    I agree..
    There may be hundreds of other advantages
    Govt would tell us if they decide to Bring Prabha into the Govt.

    Proof ? During what govt time did Karuna and Praba fought ? Read up the news headlines of those times.
    Besides, I know exactly how Karuna and Army (and govt) had meetings due to the fact that I have spoken with the DPU teamleader that was present during those meetings as well to take him (karuna) to BIA on his own vehicle.

    Mahinda never really tried this very seriously did he ?
    He was going to kick LTTE out from the get go. He didnt have much choice in the matter. If he didn't, the people would've lynched him.
    Praba was in the same boat. He cant agree to work under a united SL. His own team will lynch him if he did that and he'll lose all the aid that's coming to him from the LTTE diaspora abroad. So this war is pretty much a done deal.

    True.
    Both are just pawns of the games they themselves created and glorified.
    Perhaps Mahinda went too fast and need to slow down but can't.

    They didnt create this game. This game was created by Praba. Only Mahinda played it better than him and beat him at his own game. At this stage, Mahinda MUST end it and not slow down. He cant afford to slow down now.

    Mahinda had no reason to, we've all seen enough of what happened since the 13th amendment up until Chandrika's time, Mahinda was elected on a single purpose by the people.. to the DESTROY LTTE by hook or by crook!

    As far as I can remember he is the only politician actually almost did (still doing) what he was primarily elected for! Yes he had his own share of screw ups... but a politician without screwups? oh c'mon! :lol:

    I'm not against UNP, but I dont like Ranil... he isn't the MAN people want, he is giving that freedom to govt. to get away with whatever they want by acting stupid... as long as that fellow is there we will never have a strong opposition.

    Agreed! 100%
    But have to add this as well : One right doesnt cover a life time of wrongs (got that from Fast & Furious :) )
    Just because Mahinda is waging the war and kicking the LTTE out, he cant sell that to cover the massive corruption and mismanagement in other areas of government.

    You will be proud and boast same or even more
    when prabha starts working with Mahinda, sooner or later.
    Attitude is same massina.

    Mahinda had tested Sri Lankan P*s
    and proved that
    they would swallow
    any guli he grinds
    in whatever form.

    :lol::lol::lol:
    We will laugh last.
