So do you want SL to be bad for US? Do you want US to continue on an anti SL stand. Remember SL is not china or Russia. I think they did not like the fact that SL becoming their competitor’s bitch. Let me tell you one thing, there is nothing called absolute sovereignty in this world. There is...

@Lux de Veritas You cannot compare chinese tamil situation in S'pore with sinhala tamil in SL. SL's ethnic situation is totally different from S'pores. Between for @HeinzG and you, I did not create this thread as an anti Tamil thread but more to give the origin of history of SL war and how...
