Getting it right all the time, The Boston Globe does it again, and again. Asking for a confederal Sri Lanka and a US arms embargo towards, the troubled nation. With this editorial The Boston Globe demonstrated more rational leadership and maturity, than our State Department officials; who most often showed poor judgment and contradicted their own foreign policy towards the failed state of Sri Lanka.

The Boston Globe provided substantial evidences of ascending human right abuses in Sri Lanka. Boston Globe’s confederal state presentation is not a new concept to the pioneer newspaper in the land of free, thus the Boston Globe’s latest editorial, is by far the most accurate image of what the people of the former confederate colony have long desired.  Noting the hardship faced by thousands of people in the North of the island, the request for opening a political pathway via A9 road showed the Boston Globe’s intricate knowledge of the age old “land conflict” in this part of the world. Kudos to the Boston Globe.

Even after Mr. Bernard Goonetilleke’s (the Sri Lankan ambassador to the US) attempted intimidation, by “truck loads” of bogus, so called, evidences to the contrary, the Boston Globe’s determination to stand behind be the voices of the suffering in the failed state of Sri Lanka is simply brave and brilliant.

Avid followers of this newspaper may remember the earlier editorials demonstrating the need for much needed peace talks that would hopefully lead to a political solution and pointing out the contradictions in the current US polices, both in giving  arms to a terrorist state and simultaneously asking for a political solution from that same abuser. Wouldn’t it be better if the Boston Globe’s editorial staff were driving Sri Lankan foreign policy in the US. A valid question that now echoes in the minds of this land of free.
