The West is simply worried about two things;

First, Stability in South Asia, giving India a Open road to rapid development and Economic & Military Superpower Status. LTTE would have always been a thorn in India's side!

Secondly, Politically Stable Sri Lanka would make China more active and interested in Sri Lanka. Look at the timing of the British media's sudden interest in the Hambanthota harbour project!

It is western policy is to Keep the two emmerging powers on check, no matter even if it cost another hundred thousand Sri Lankan lives.

An interesting development is that Sri Lanka has been offered a partner-in-dialogue status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to happen in June.

Funny(sad) thing is when I saw CNN yesterday, US troops are saying the exact same thing as SL troops that Al Quida is vastly exaggerating civilian causalities and won't stop air strikes. And on the other hand they asked SL to stop air strikes. I'm against all kinds of civilian causalities..so does this mean Afghan civilian lives are less important than Tamil civilians in SL ? Open hypocrisy..
