Two significant men came to Sri Lanka last week, one from Ireland and one from India. Martin McGuinness — a pioneer of the Irish peace movement, a figure in Sinn Féin and, Ivan writes, the godfather of the IRA — came to meet the leadership of the LTTE and not the president. The Indian foreign secretary saw the president and then the leader of the opposition at length, pressing India’s interest in a larger part in settling the crisis.
