Gaja,
So what's the solution to this problem. Let's be realistic. No government is Sri Lanka would allow a separate state. So we've to find a solution within the undivided country through devolution of power. In the last proposal LTTE asked more than a govenment can offer. What is acceptable and what's not?? |

ShanA,
Thank you for responding.
If the government felt that the LTTE was asking for more than what they are ready to offer, the government must either objectively state why the Tamils do not deserve those benefits and opportunities; or the government must make a counter offer on what it considers the Tamils deserve. It should still be within the framework established by the LTTE but need not be at the level asked for.
If the government just rejects the proposal without a counter offer - a reconciled position, then the government is not genuine and therefore the Tigers would have their just reason to go to war. However small it may be the government must make a counter offer within the earned framework of the Tigers.
love

Gaja,
Do you think that LTTE has reasons to reject Mahinda as hardliner and what will be the response Prabhakaran would give on 27th. After 27th we can continue this discussion and we'll know what LTTE wants and we'll know what the response SL government would give. |

ShanA,
No, the Tigers would not reject Mahinda as a hardliner. They are likely to use him as the 'excuse' to declare war. That would have been more difficult under Ranil or anyone who seems more 'international'.
As for predicting Prabaharan's expressions - I try not to do that except when I have to deliver judgment in a particular forum. Until then I keep my work at 'feelings' level so that my Truth will automatically influence Prabaharan as a Tamil. I have many friends who are within the Tiger group and my Truth will influence the leadership through those friends. I feel that there will be no great war - that the Tigers will be more willing to reconcile - so long as Mahinda does not come up with something new and subjective to disadvantage the Tamils.
At the level of the people, the effect of war is not as dramatic as it was in the beginning. Tamils are now stronger because they absorbed the pain without avoiding it.
love

Gaja,
I don't think Mahinda is that stupid to fall for that. Though he is perceived as a hardliner, he is quite a mild person who has a track record of supporting minorities. JVP and JHU also should understand what LTTE motives are. So this is going to be a cat and mouse game if LTTE plays that card. I hope that they would cooperate and we'll find some solution. |

ShanA,
The solution is already evolving. If you seek deeply you will 'see' the solution through your own commitment. It's not a standard solution based on 'good' knowledge. It is a unique solution based on wisdom. Wisdom does not have good and bad.
Is Mahinda smart enough to know the game that the Tigers are playing? The other alternative is to genuinely partner Tamils close to the Tigers - and sense intuitively what the Tigers would do.
love

LTTE cadres chopped the hand of the voter from Kilinochchi
Colombo, 23 November, (Asian Tribune.com): The LTTE cadres brutally chopped the one hand of the person from Kilinochchi who voted in the last Presidential elections to Ranil Wickremasinghe, the UNP Presidential candidate.
The hand of the person was chopped publicly in Kilinochchi by the LTTE cadres in the presence of hundreds of onlookers.
According to a source, this punishment was meted out in public to scare others not to disobey the Aanai - edict of the LTTE in the future.
The said person from Kilinochchi voted at the cluster polling station for Kilinoichchi.
His vote was the only vote cast from Kilinochchi in the last Presidential election.
After the voting, he was contacted by the BBC correspondent and asked were you not afraid of voting?
He said boldly that voting was his right and he quipped ?if anyone wants to take my life for voting let them take it.? |

Thank you hewageJ. By appreciating a Tamil expressly, you are contributing strongly to peace in Sri Lanka. By appreciating me, you are getting the benefit of the essence of the work I have done. If the Tigers and the Government likewise found their own partners on the other side - that is automatically peace in Sri Lanka.
Thank you again and may God Bless you.
