Iran offers alternative solution for gays, that is by allowing them to change their sex, Iran is the second highest country when it comes to sex change operations.(first is Thailand) One thing about hanging gays, you are seeing only one side.

The issue is not ignoring China. The issue is being almost solely dependent on them by trashing our relationships with Japan, India, America and the European Union. A relationship with China as one part of a mature and sensible foreign policy is one thing, and a good thing. A desperate relationship with China because no one else can stand our human rights is something else entirely. To sum, working with China is good for our country. Working with China cause no one else will is bad. True. The issue is not ignoring China.

But china, you have bit of a wrong view, probably due to false propaganda by Western media. China is the number one import partner of America (eg. The USA imports 81% of its seafood from china), why can't we have deals with them? if you think that we can live ignoring china that’s not going to be a good policy either, that’s where the market is(America’s trade deficit with China last year was some US$260 billion, an 11.4% increase over 2006 and up 60% in just three years). I f you look at our history, china had better trade deals with us than US (think what shell gas is doing to us), they never tried to mess with our internal affairs. Finally about global pollution, US is the highest polluter in the world (carbon emissions), but western media always try to blame china (just notice, when ever CNN says something about pollution, they show pictures of china, but they are number one ). But don't forget china has the largest population in the world. http://import-export.suite101.com/article.cfm/us_global_trade_debt_by_country indi, you are right about Iran, N.korea .

Having offended and alienated many, we find ourselves with the other outcasts. The danger is that while Pakistan and Iran have some strategic significance, we have relatively less, so getting back into more acceptable company may be difficult. It seems to have dawned on MR that the US elections might mean a change of policy, so he's rushing to cosy upto Israel - in the hope of ensuring supplies for the Kfir's. Remember that Karuna is singing like a canary in London in all probability confirming the links between the state and para-military activity. Bush turns a blind eye for his friends, will his successor do the same. It will also be interesting to see how Iran and Pakistan are going to view this. China has thrown us a bit of petty cash for old times sake (rice-rubber pact and all that), they probably will continue with little bits (which in Sri Lankan terms is actually quite large) but if the heat gets too much they will have little interest in sticking their necks out for us. North Korea (a collapse there will spell chaos in the border with China) and Sudan (useful supplier of resources) have a great deal of significance to China and they will defy Western opinion in these cases, but for Sri Lanka I doubt if they will bother.

Beggars can't be choosers. Back in the late '80s and early '90s our closest allies were Arpatheid South Africa, Israel, Taiwan, and Pakistan. Israel & Pakistan are still invaluable allies, but I guess black Africa no longer likes us (thanks to its large Tamil diaspora) and we swapped Taiwan for China. We've had close religious and cultural ties with Burma that run back to the '50s. So Iran's the only real addition (we need the oil, and maybe one day a nuclear power plant). It's all very well to talk about cuttlefish & chicks on the beach, but when you're a tiny nation swimming with the big sharks, you've got to make all the friends you can. No small nation can remain non-allied (even Non-Alligned meant u were with Commies). Tough shit if the West doesn't like 'our friends, but the West is so slow to do anything (they let 800,000 Rwandans die before Kofi fucking Amman moved his red taped arse, and they're still diddling over Darfur) that we can't depend on them. Luckily the US has seemingly agreed to turn a blind eye and channel aid through third parties like those pariah Jews. I think it's great to see ideological outrage such as this post, 'cos it shows that we're still human in this pariah state, but thank God we also have those allies.

I enjoyed the change in your style. You were a bit trippy a couple of weeks ago. It is a bit worrying that SL has been hobnobbing with the world's outcasts as of late. This was particularly telling when Pakistan recently stood up for SL's human right's record in Geneva. It is certainly not going to do us any favours when GL attempts to renegotiate GSP+. That being said, in the medium/long term, there is very little loyalty in international politics. Today’s pariah is tomorrow’s darling. All you need is something to offer and your sins are soon forgotten and if we are going to cosy up to someone in our time of need, it might as well be China. In some ways, they are more menacing than the US because they hover around asserting their giant economy and military in less obvious ways. However, if your theory regarding China’s motives for throwing cash at SL holds up, we could get caught up in a nasty tussle between the Indians and Chinese. This is a brilliant article.
