Dear Erik, I am a Singhalese from Trincomalee, Sri Lanka (as the minority in Eastern/Nothern provinces we didnt or dont like your bias approach), and I would like to ask a question from you regarding the failed Peace Process in Sri Lanka. If you are given a second chance to make it a success, what would you like to change the whole process a success? (assuming all the stake holders are still alive and the situation is still the same)

Thank you for you reply. I will definitely read that book.One last follow up question. What made you to believe that any solution force feed on to the people without popular support will last long and will be a success? (I agree that in real world, there is no solution which will have 100% popular support, but dont you think it should have atleast the majority's support?)

I agree. Sri Lanka is now a "Peaceful" country. Not a single incident in more than 7 years. And the solution did have a majority support. But it didnt go along with the ideas of the "Major Powers". In my opinion, major powers never wants a peace. they wants conflicts to meddling with other countries. Solheim never was a better mediator/facilitator/negotiator for Sri Lankan conflict. * He dosnt know anything about Sri Lankan culture or Sri Lankan people * He shows his biasses towards the minority and always neglected the majority * LTTE used him to re-organize and re-group. Except being a personal friend of Anton Balasingham (LTTE's chief negotiator) he didnt have any experience with international mediation. * He was heavily influenced by very large voter base of Sri Lankan Tamil expats in Norway, which was the main cause of his failure. The list can be go on and on..but possibly it will be a time wasting...
