Who nearly lost Sri Lanka-100%?
By A Patabendige
Former President of SL Kumaratunga after hibernating for over a decade has suddenly emerged to claim that she won 75% of the war against the terrorists in her time. They are like the claims made by others that anything good that was done when out of power was planned by them. Such claims can only invite contempt and ridicule. They however provided the light relief that kept SL’s spirits up even during the worst of times. Before recounting what she actually achieved it may be worthwhile to know who started the war, who nearly lost it and SL too. Who actually won the war is too well known.
