Presuming the Sinhalese manage this right, they might actually end this ethnic war. Not sure if this is necessarily going to be a pleasant end, but any limit on the endless violence that mars parts of the world is a good one.

How do you like them apples? A post that's chock-full of links, and not one focusing on the US distraction issue of the day! ^. -
Edit-The point I wanted to make is one for each article:
1) How do you foresee the Tamil-Sinhalese war ending?
2) Will the Communist Party of Nepal end up acting like other Maoist regimes? Or will its more-or-less peaceful rise to power avert that?
3) How important will Siberia be until (if) we switch to our alternative form of energy?
4) Who do you support in the Japanese parliamentary race?
5) How do you see the Perak controversy being resolved? Bribery or murder?
