OLDPULI,
yes but....you know this is not a cancer. It is at only one location.
we singhalese ,tamils muslims live very freely all over the country. The minoriteies enjoy freedom among the sinhalese than those so called NIJA BIM by the extrimists(N & E by tigers, East along by Karuna, East of Muslims by Hakeem, Central hills by Thonda, Chandra..etc.).
In fact there is no ethnic problem or Civil war in our country as preehced by the peace saits. those are the myths created by those who work on tiger money. |

Hi Gaja Amma,
Yes, we are dislodged from our posting site.
After the election results some sort of laziness has got into me? The thrill is no more. The challenges in life is no more. Once Mahinda settles down in his seat all our Sri lankan problems will melt away. After having used to a particular way of life all these years, it is difficult to adjust to an orderly peaceful life.
Every household will have a cow now. Already we have one cow and imagine with two cows. It is going to be quite exciting. Plenty of milk to drink and get a heart attack soon. I wonder next election they will promise cows that will produce skimmed milk or non-fat milk.
In a scenario like this your question is very confusing. For a start let us learn as fellow teachers. I don't want to inherit a student who asks too many questions and give too much of answers.
I still believe in the traditional 'guru sishya' set up.
'Upanishath' -Pakthiyudan pakkaththiruthal.
I met one of your friends Y'day one Dr.Thiru, he is more known to your husband.
Love Nada |

Christy,
What happened to your people, the Catholics at Moratuwa? Ranil lost Moratuwa.
I feel sorry for Ranil, what ever said and done, he was a real gentleman.
As I told you before, the Tamils lost interest in Ranil after the speeches made by Milinda Moragoda and Naveen Dissanayake just a week before the election.
Do you think the LTTE will let the people vote for Ranil after hearing the speeches made by these two buffoons?
Unfortunately, the people of Sri Lanka lost a very good chance of achieving peace. Now, the future is uncertain.
May God bless our country. |

Hai Muni,
Relax, don't jump too high. Letting Mahinda to win this election is just one of the surprise moves of the LTTE.
There will be many more surprises in the near future. They will not be as sweet as this one,so get ready to swallow the bitter pills. |

Muni,
Killing Rajiv Gandhi was the first surprise move by the Sun Goat.
From that day onward, wonders never seize.
Hail Hitler!

Lula,
I am trying to get the view from our tamil friends here about the LTTE decision to boycott the election. I know you can not come out with exact reasons but I am trying to get some idea by discussing this among our selves.
This is why I am puzzled. With Mahhinda, Karuna will get prominence. Karuna will succeed in getting into politics, building a massive support base in the East and succeed in driving a wedge between Eastern Tamils and Jaffna Tamils. Driving a wedge between Batti Tamils and Yaalpaanam Tamils is not too hard because of various historical reasons and perceptions Batti has about Jaffna people. (I lived in both parts and I know how Batti Tamils talk about Jaffna people, justifiable or unjustifiable reasons).
So under Mahinda presidency LTTE sworn enemy will go places. Then of course LTTE will have to kiss good bye any chances of international recognition because Mahinda is not as sympathetic as Ranil towards the LTTE.
To be continued |

The US and Monitors etc have condemned LTTE not allowing people to vote as well. This as anyone can see is undemocratic and LTTE atempts to come out as an organisation that believe in democracy rather than terrorism also will suffer a set back. Not letting people vote is not very democratic but an act of terror.
I am trying to understand what was going on. Mahinda as President is not good for LTTE at all. If they think they can declare UDI because Mahinda is the president they have to think twice. Because Mahinda (as expected) has offered talks again. On what grounds are they going to do this UDI thing? More importantly, will the international community take such a UDI seriously? It will be a running joke?
I dont think LTTE is stupid to go to war either. Considering their very weakened presence in the batti, division created by Karuna and the lack of wide spread support in the East, lack of the same war spirit (after three years of no war/no terror idleness etc), they wont go for war.
I am trying to figure out what is in it for them if Mahinda comes to power. Frankly I dont get it. Is there anyone who can give his/her opinion so that we can have a meaningful conversation? |

Sk63,
From independence till now the Sinhala leaders came up with so many different pacts, but finally cheated the Tamils by breaking all their promises. Ranil is no exception.
If you read the speeches made by Milinder Moragoda and Naveen Disanayake, it is very clear that Ranil was also not genuine.
While Ranil was pretending to be sympathetic towards the LTTE, thro his western influence he also created a very strong international pressure on them, making sure that they will not go for another war.
When it comes to the anti-western Mahinda/JVP/JHU, they are also as extreme as the LTTE, the two sides of the same coin.
Here, we should not forget the fact that the entire international community including India is for a united federal system.
If Mahinda continues to insist on a unitary system, the international community will be more sympathetic towards the LTTE and the Tamils even though they will not give the LTTE an international recognition, in other words, even though they will not lift the ban, it will not be very effective.
Today, the people on both sides are totally against war, they are really fed up with it.
This is the main reason why both Mahinda and Ranil campaigned for peace. If Mahinda had said, he is ready for another war; he would have lost the election very badly.
A full scale conventional war is out of question, even the LTTE will not go for another war.
Even after signing the CFA, the LTTE continued to get rid of their rivals, while the GOSL used Karuna and the paramilitary to attack the LTTE.
Karuna was a creation of the GOSL during Ranil?s govt., later the CBK govt. made use of him and now Mahinda will also do the same, but that is not going to change the present situation.
Neither Mahinda nor Ranil as president is going to be good for the LTTE.
For the next 6 years, there will be a no war no peace situation but the attacks on both sides will continue with higher intensity.
Even if Ranil became a President, he would have draged the peace process for the next 6 years.
The parlimentarians will enjoy all their perks but the country and the people will continue to suffer.
