Obviously you will support it Mahinda.

even if iran uses nuclear energy peacefully, you will use it to kill tamils. stop kissing president ahmadinejad too much so you can get lots of weapons from him, you can run to iran, india, us, israel, wherever you want. let us see in the near future how much it is going to help you.

every year you buy "expensive radars and equipment", and every year you lose millions in damage from Tamil attacks. so keep buying more expensive stuff so either the tigers can take it and use it or destroy it :)
