Never in the history of any developing country had an opportunity to hand over the helm of the running of the country to a victorious and decorated solider.
There were many instances, men in uniforms have taken over running countries but the process of taking over was not democratic nor were they victorious and decorated for what they have achieved in the military fronts.
However such instances can be found in developed world (France & USA to name a few).
General Sarath Fonseka has proven his mettle as a solider serving the Sri Lankan Army for more than 40 years and led the country to victory from the military front over the terrorist group The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam a few months ago.
Now he has relinquished his uniforms and the privileges accompanied with the title and have entered the presidential fray to take over the helm of running the country in a democratic way, putting his life in danger once more for the economic salvation of the land.
Everybody agrees without much qualm that we need a change and afresh approach towards the way the country has to run, if we truly want us to get out of this economic quagmire and prepare a peaceful and economically and politically stable country for our future generations.
The choice is obvious and I am sure that none wants to squander this rare and unique opportunity and regret forever by letting it go by.

go out of colombo and see how people worship mahinda. denzil kobbekaduwa was a peoples man, but SF has never been. he has been a ruthless commander who did a job well done. at least he should have been a mp before considering running for presidency. he lost all because of his mouth. maaluwa nahinne kata hindai kiyala thiyanawane...........
