The credit of handing over the country to the Rajapakses should go to the LTTE leader for stopping the Tamils from voting for Ranil.
Not that Ranil has ever proved to be great enough to resolve this very vicious and complex conflict.

Does the US secretary of State have to tell Sri Lankan government to share the ”Plan” with the Sri Lankan people? Sri lankan Sovereignty is breached.

2. ”Mahinda Rajapaksa must have views on a political settlement”?

He will have to deal with this:
