“Never before have so many people assumed that war was an institution has outlived its usefulness.”

Chris Hables Gray: Post Modern War

You Say you got a real solution
Well you know
we'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

John Lennon

Understanding the Paradigm Shift.
Sri Lanka heads for civil war!, War looms over Island nation …., these are the new media reports that scream on all media wires and the high potential online news spaces. The country at the dawn of its rising from the destruction from the Tsunami is slowly, painfully and horrifically being drawn to a vortex of violence, death and chaos. This is all summed up by many as the backdrop for the fourth episode of Prabhaharans eelam war. The writer looks at the crisis that has evoked the Sri Lankan state and its political institutions. The regressive ideologies of human agency within the political structures will too be scrutinized. The present reality is that we have entered a political crisis in the form of the destabilizing politics of North and East of Sri Lanka with a circulating effect on South. Stressing on the current ‘ground reality’ the crisis can be seen in the lights of strategic misguidance and misleading political leadership. The strategic failing comes with the changes that have taken place in the forms and approaches on handling conflicts both militarily and in broad public spheres, as the conflicts has evolved with time and their shapes and forms have become radically different from where they earlier were. Military sciences have become a discipline with ongoing dynamic changes and adoptions. So has to be the political leadership which has to make decisions on the operationalization of the military in this current context. No longer is the war, a war between trained individuals bearing arms and having access to the best military hardware there is. War has become a multi level theatre, while maintaining the traditional military vigor the dynamics of new internal conflict formation has to be absorbed in strategy.
