Chinthana, Third World and First
Talks or no talks, Sri Lanka retains the right
of preventive self-defence. If we do not take the war to the
Tigers and keep them off balance, they bring the war to us. The
goal of our military operations must not primarily be the
occupation of territory - which is difficult to defend without
danger of overextension - but to draw out the Tigers and use our
superior firepower to inflict maximum casualties, "annihilating
the living forces of the enemy" as the post-war world’s greatest
general, Vietnam’s Vo Nguyen Giap, used to put it.
