Friends, we all have differences in our thoughts and wishes. That difference brings us the essence to live a life with passion. If all are in one side there will be no hot discussions like this. So it is good to have people with different thoughts. However I totally disagree on discriminating both leaders. It is not good as both were in the same side on the fight against brutal terrorism. In my view, this is a political fight between a leader who ended a 30 year old civil war in 4 years and an retired army officer who was in army for more than 40 years. Still I respect both as they dedicated their today as far as they could for a better tomorrow for us.
Main point is, whoever wins must ensure no more terrorism, no more discrimination to people on religion, race, creed or colour, no foreign interventions, no more unnecessary political solutions pushed by foreigners, provide enough power to people irrespective of their ethnicity on the basis of developing their areas with good schools, hospitals, enough jobs to earn a house, vehicle, telephone line, (and also a nice girl

) etc..., aim development on rural communities just as President Premadasa and President Mahinda did, maintain good security so SL to become the best travel destination, Take investors particularly for software industry so all of us can involve in taking good foreign currency rather than waiting for GSP+, etc..., etc...
Unfortunately I can't hear anything about these in the political arena yet (which is the part important for us) other than THE MATTER "WHO WINS THE WAR?".
