Well it makes sense really. Indians supported the Tamil Tigers. Sri Lanka crushed them with Pakistani weapons.
India supports the Taliban and cohorts. We will use the Sri Lankan know how to crush them as well. There is no negative side to this. Sri Lanka and Pakistan become closer pushing the Indian factor out of the equation.
Lolzzzzzzzzzz ..A very funny statement.Had India not banned the L.T.T.E and scuttled them,the armed struggle for Tamil Nationalism would not have been over.
Srilanka can never think about any military co-operation without considering India.India was apprehensive in aiding Srilanka militarily because a large section of Tamil diaspora would oppose to it and it would have serious implications.
Just realize what had started the down fall of the L.T.T.E?It was not Pakistani weapons or the U.S Marines trained the Srilankan Army personnel but it was the end of logistic,financial and arms flow from India.
