Maybe Sri Lanka thinks it is an independent country... This might be disinformation planted by - 1) Anti-India factions in Sri Lanka 2) The US Govenment 3) Some other party with an anti-India bias (China ? Pakistan ?) 4) Or, some Indian govenrment people are really dense. Are the modeling India - Sri Lanka relations on US - Mexico relations ?

India uneasy about US troops in Sri Lanka and the Maldives . . . . . . Just think how agitated Indonesian politicians must be with increasing numbers of Australians and Australian troops in Aceh, the western most province of Indonesia, where Indonesian officials are afraid to visit - even with a huge military escort. East Timor, the eastern most province of Indonesia, was another part of their nation where Indonesian officials were afraid to visit without a huge military escort. Only five years ago East Timor broke away from Indonesia to become an independent nation - with continuous support from the Australian government. On the very first day that the UN declared East Timor to be officially independent, they signed an exclusive oil and gas development contract with Australia. As for Indian and Indonesian politicians: just because you think people are out to get you, doesn't necessarily make you paranoid. Sometimes it's true. .
