Singala military is in serious danger and they don't even know it! All these singala war mongers who are cheering the "victories after victories" in the east are 1/2 drunk and 1/2 mad. Rajapaksa is another singala modaya. These ppl are not understanding how endangered they are. This 'eastern onslought' can easily lead to singala nationalism's downfall. Why?

Financing fiscal deficit The government will finance its fiscal deficit estimated at Rp 75 trillion (US$8 billion) in fiscal 2008 mostly with rupiah bonds because its official capital accounts will end up with a net resource outflow of the equivalent of Rp 16.67 trillion.
