Two Reasons to Celebrate...

As I write this post, there are several reports suggesting the death of LTTE supremo Prabakaran, and complete decimation of LTTE and it's vicious leadership. This is the news I (and several of my countrymen) have been longing to hear for 18 years since the murder of one of the greatest leaders India has produced. Of course one could argue back and forth about what the motivations for LTTE were, for what it did. However, one fact should be clear as daylight for any observer of this and other conflicts in the recent times-'Everything comes back around'. India aided and abetted the LTTE in the beginning of the conflict despite the knowledge of their subversive activities against innocent civilians, and we paid the ultimate price of losing a great leader and several others to their terrorist attacks on our soil.

Interestingly, United States decided at some point to dabble with terrorists by encouraging a group of rugged fighters calling themselves Taliban, to fend off an aggression by USSR. Fast forward a decade,they lose two standing symbols of capitalism and thousands of their dear sons in war-after-war fighting the very forces they helped create.

Lesson: There is a beautiful verse in Tamil:

பாம்பாட்டிக்கு பாம்பால் தான் சாவு

(Approximately) The one who rears a snake, dies through the snake.

The second reason for celebration? The Indian voters, in a display of incredible clarity decided to dump the commie bullshit-wagon TOTALLY...See this and THIS-both fantastic news. This is especially heartening in the context of the current economic crisis and attempts by the leftists to paint the entire gamut of capitalism as bad. Hope Congress gets the message and opens up more sectors for reforms rapidly so people can see the results within the next five years.
