Colombo, 13 March, (Asiantribune.com): The US Secretary of State Mrs. Hillary Clinton acknowledged that Sri Lanka is now on the verge of defeating terrorism, and that this presented a great opportunity to restore peace, leading to reconstruction and rehabilitation in the country.These observations were made when Mrs. Clinton spoke to President Mahinda Rajapaksa by telephone this evening. The telephone discussion which was warm and cordial was originated by the US Secretary of State, who initially expressed her condolences for those killed in the terrorist attack at Akuressa earlier this week. She stated that terrorists should not be permitted to destroy the lives of people in such manner.
She is smart, she is taking the right approach, without covering from the terrorists, where terrorism is concerned. I think she will try to address the underlying issues that gives rise to terrorism as well.
ReplyDeleteI think so too... US is not Canada, and they do have an issue with global terrorism, regardless of their party alliances...
