		<description><![CDATA[By Mario Perera, Kadawata
This looming contest has all the ingredients of a best seller and also a total sell out. Sectors of the general public surely ask themselves the question; why had this to happen? Like with most major political events, this situation too has much more to it than meets the eye. Was the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Mario Perera, Kadawata
 Much ink is being made to flow on the subject of the relative good performance of the TNA at the recent polls. The elections were especially significant on several counts; the most important of them being the blunder of the government think tanks in holding them at this unpropitious moment. Indeed there [...]]]></description>

The President according to top Indian sources has promised to go beyond the 13th amendment.
This is what the news article in BBC Sinhala.com said on an earlier date;
President Mahinda Rajapaksa earlier told an Indian television channel that his government is considering &#8220;13 amendment plus&#8221; in an attempt to resolve grievances of Sri Lanka&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

The ecstasy of the previous three matches gave way to the agony of the last. Lowly Ireland nearly humbled the giant killers that we were. The previous matches were mainly won on the strength of the opening partnerships and of course the inevitably brilliant contributions of the three bowling ‘M&#8217;s; Murali, Mendis [...]]]></description>

A thought to ponder; Hannibal&#8217;s victory which was considered the model of warfare in Germany. From a letter from my French friends Pierre and Suzanne (with my english translation below).

The office you were called to hold
Is not for those who favours seek
Its meant for people strong and bold
No place there for the weak and meek
 
The post which holds out bounteous hope 
To the suffering and the needy
As livelong they through tunnels grope
With nothing to feel cheery
 
We looked upon your name with glee
There [...]]]></description>

Everyone, both here and abroad now knows that the LTTE has gone very much and irreparably ‘down under&#8217;. During thirty years this diabolical organization aided and abetted by foreign financing and arms fought for what was nationally and internationally called ‘the rights of the Tamils of Sri Lanka&#8217;.

It was Anton Balasingham who bore the tag of ‘LTTE theoretician&#8217;. What that meant, in the final analysis was that he was a glorified spokesman of the terrorists. He was called Dr.A.B, although we know he did not have a doctorate. Even if he did&#8230; so what ? In the world of [...]]]></description>

This morning seeing our President return from abroad, descending from the plane, kneeling and worshiping the soil of Sri Lanka would no doubt have brought tears to many an eye, in any case it did to mine. If these white &#8220;hypocrisies&#8221; watched the reception accorded to our president, and the heart warming discourses of [...]]]></description>
