	The western media, the peace lobby and their fellow travellers have done it! They have dubbed Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse a hawk. How have they come to such a conclusion so soon? What he really intends to do by way of resolving the conflict remains to be seen. A man, we believe, should be [...]]]></description>

Prof.Rajiva Wijesinha
	As might have been anticipated, I am relieved by the result of the Presidential. More importantly perhaps, I am delighted that the new President has manifested, after his election, a grace and inclusiveness that bodes well for the future. There seems little doubt that, as far as he himself is concerned, pluralism [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	For its defeat at the Presidential Election, the UNP has no one to blame but itself. It unwittingly engineered its own defeat by making a highly unnecessary move, which triggered a political avalanche. It all began with the UNP&#8217;s call for a presidential election at a time the electorate had taken it for granted that [...]]]></description>
