The author obviously intends to analogize the LTTE as the PLO and Hamas. He argues that the West backs the Tamil cause due to the influence of the Tamil diaspora. He argues that Chinese patronage will transform Sri Lanka into a powerful and dependable ally.

"There is a connection between the contempt for Hindu nationalism and the disdain for Zionism that exists in many circles. They are widely condemned for similar things. Both are accused of inventing a history for their people and religion. Both are accused of inventing and perverting archeology. Both are accused of being anachronisms in a world that is supposedly multicultural. Both are seen as militant and anti-Muslim."

A lethal double standard
"The war against the Tamil Tigers has exposed the rank hypocrisy and double standards of a western world that demonises and delegitimises Israel[...] while remaining relatively muted in the face of evidence [...] that the suffering of civilians under Sri Lankan bombardment [...] has vastly exceeded that of the Palestinians."

May 19, 2009 - Los Angeles Times
Sri Lanka vanquishes the Tamil Tigers
"The government defeated the rebels using a combination of military hardware, counterinsurgency warfare and divide-and-conquer tactics. With support from countries such as China, India and Israel, Rajapaksa neutralized Western criticism of the brutal prosecution of the war and the silencing of domestic critics until he could finish the job. But ending a war is one thing, and ensuring peace is quite another."

"From a military perspective the [Sri Lankan] campaign of the past two years [against the Tamil Tigers] has been such a success that it is being studied by counter-insurgency specialists around the world. Key to that was the acquisition of fighter jets and radar from China and aerial surveillance drones from Israel that allowed the air force to target the Tigers accurately."

The only thing that can keep nuclear bombs out of the hands of terrorists is a brand-new science of nuclear forensics.
Graham Allison argues that nuclear proliferation can be stemmed if the US develops a method for tracing nuclear fallout to its producers and suppliers. Knowing where a bomb originated provides the targeted state with a 'return address'. Threat of reprisal would incentivize proliferating states to keep their nukes under lock and key.

WARPLANES: China Builds A Better Fighter
Analysis of the Chinese fighter jet. "It's no accident that the J-10 resembles the F-16, because Israel apparently sold them technology for the Israeli Lavi jet fighter. Israel abandoned the Lavi project, because of the high cost and availability of cheaper alternatives (buying F-16s and F-15s from the United States.) But the Lavi was meant to be a super F-16, and incorporated a lot of design ideas from the F-16 (which the Israelis were very familiar with, as they used them, and had developed new components for them.)"
