Thank you for your response.
My case is that at the end of the day, regardless of their communal identity, all people in Sri Lanka want a better life tomorrow. They would hardly care where they live, if they have tangible economic advancement. It is the government's responsibility to ensure that.
Consider yourself as the President of SL for a moment (remember you have to be impartial here...and you are responsible for law and order).
What would you do at the moment to bring in peace, except asking the LTTE to come into SERIOUS talks? Successive GOSLs provided hotel accommodation for LTTE reps, participated in talks in several countries, gave chopper rides to wounded LTTE, faciliatted diplomats to visit LTTE... and the list goes on showing GOSL's flexibility. How flexible the LTTE was or is? What did LTTE do during dozens of ceasefires, inclding the present one? What indications you see these days that LTTE is prepared to accept a 'negotiated settlement', so that the GOSL can increase bending backwards?
Now consider yourself as the LTTE leader (remmeber that you are genuinely interested in welfare, language and economic advancement of all Tamils living in ALL AREAS)...and what would you do if you want to get somewhere to serve the Tamils? I am sure you yourself would demand immediate talks, unite all free thinking inetellectuals, groups and you would genuinely press GOSL come forward to discuss. You would be creative to find a way to meet the leaders 'of the south'.
When I analyse the present scenario, I do not see any GENUINE desire from the LTTE leadership to participate in any talks to solve the issues. Insead LTTE is killing fellow free-thinking Tamils, security forces protecting cvilians, giving deadlines, preparig EVERYONE for more violence.
I am not frustrated or angry. I only ask what else GOSL can do. Please do not come up with the idea that GOSL should give the Ealaam on a silver platter so that their will be peace, and everyone can live happily ever after.
It's not that I do not mind offering Ealaam.
IT'S THE FEAR I HAVE THAT HOW BRUTAL WOULD THE LTTE BE, IF WE PROVE TO THEM THAT THEIR KILLINGS WORKED EXTREMELY WELL IN ORDER TO BRING IN THE 'PERCEIVED' SUCCESS!
Have a great 2006! |

Hi Nada and Gaja,
Nada, thank you for your reply to my question about the LTTE?s stature without Prabakaran. I apologize to you if I made you think that I was trying to make a connection between you and the LTTE. I was just trying to find some information about the LTTE because my knowledge about their inner structure is limited, that's all.
--
One of the things I realize after so many months in this forum is that whenever some Sinhala hardliner ( you know who they are) voices something against the LTTE (and apparently ' their terrorism' which they call 'wanton butchery') almost all the Tamils here who are supportive of the LTTE take it as granted as 'Sinhala racial hegemony' towards Tamils. But how did this thinking evolve?
There are sensible reasons for why an average Sinhala southerner would think that the LTTE are not the sole agents of the Tamils because they, the Sinhalese, know for fact that prominent Tamils like the late Kadirgamar, the late Thiruchchelvam (both of them stylishly murdered by the LTTE of course), Devananda and now Anandasangaree and not to mention the mysterious Karuna gang. Most of these 'defectors' of the 'Tamil cause' (apparently it's the same as the 'LTTE cause' according to the LTTE manifesto) are perhaps against the LTTE for political or even personal reasons, risking their lives on the line. To an average Sinhala person the reasons don't matter. All he sees is that there are 'indeed' Tamils who are against the LTTE, who tried to burn down the Dalada Maligawa and murdered hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent Sinhala women and children in cold blood, so to them logically it must mean that the LTTE is not what it is trying to be : the sole representatives of the Tamils in Sri Lanka.
But what particularly strikes me is when someone says something against the LTTE he/she usually ends up being a 'racist' because the opponents always insist that the person who is voicing against terrorism is a racist. I do understand that the Tamils who are living in their homeland do see the army activities as being 'terrorist' and to them it too is a matter of life and death.
But if the LTTE is the sole representatives of the Tamil population in Sri Lanka why did all the Tamil population in Colombo and most in Batticaloa and Mannar , who were not under direct gunpoint of the LTTE, voted in the election despite their well planned call for a boycott? Even others who were living under control of the LTTE were systematically stopped from exercising their franchise through fear and intimidation. From these one can comfortably conclude that the LTTE do not experience massive support from the Tamils, but it does have significant support, despite their apparent efforts. But no Tamils ,except a few like Neelan Thiruchchelvam, are willing to say this reality out loud. After all who can face a well polished gun?

| MY NEW YEAR WISH is before any CFA talk, SL ARMED FORCES should run over LTTE. Start arresting all those LTTE caders (do not allow them to leave) in GOSL areas and destroy all those new camps. |

I believe in moderation, however, there are times that these moderate philosophy falls to deaf ears. Its no use no matter how loud you play music to deaf elephants if they would not hear it. Its that sort political scenario in the LTTE camp. Though wether they are terrorists or freedom fighters (depends how you want to call them due to personal partialities)this bunch of humans/loonies have no sense for any fruitful conclusion other than carrying out their dirty tricks.
As for anything this has to come to an end or else they should be treated in the manner they rightly deserve so. This could well be an unwanted war. So its MR s government need to wake up for the events unfolding in this new year.
As a predominantly Buddhist country which should not justify waging a war (as Buddhism is a religion of peace than any other religion) but if there is a solution it should be taken sooner than later rather than procrastinating for personal gains. This does not hinder the law abiding decent Sinhala/tamil civilian. |

Hi Vinivida,
Get real and use the democratic system to solve issues.
GOSL should take all available options to crush any violent methods, which are easier than democratic ones.
Period.
My dear Sir,
I am urged to call your attention to the wealth of information contributed by many members in reference to the
Democratic system worshipped by the Tamils for years and years.
I am certain that you are not oblivious to the fact that the GOSL pay heed to only ' the sound of guns ' and not ' the sound of music'. The Rebels have proved and it's as simple as the JVP uprising.
You would turn around and tell me that JVP now follows the democratic path!!
I would challenge their sincerity. JVP CAN ONLY BE SEEN AS DEMOCRATIC. JVP CANNOT BE READ AS DEMOCRATIC.
I am not going to tow your line that encourages Pseudo patriots and Quasi democrats.
In singhala the saying is : Yudhetta naethi kaduwa koss kotanndadha??? a direct translation would be( a sword not used in a battle is good for nothing )This is JVP; a democratic party WHO DOES NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DAILY WORKINGS OF A GOVERNMENT AND THUS HOLDING THE GOVERNMENT TO RANSOM.
TAMILS THROUGH LTTE HAVE GIVEN GOSL A DIRECT MESSAGE THAT DEMOCRATIC ACCESS TO YOUR CONSIDERATION HAVE TURNED FUTILE.
The International community have understood the path that the tamils have taken and with Mahinda's visit to India it's confirmed and very much emphasised that GOSL for the FIRST TIME is bound to consider DEMOCRATIC MEANS of resolving the problems with it's minority citizens.
Tamils having failed on their own in taking a democratic approach have now successfully entered the Democratic path through their International proxies who would stand common to all citizens of SL.
Hereafter, all Sri Lankans should bear in mind that the IC is the democratic system of the Tamils of SL. It is the Tamils who earned their sympathy and the IC is the proxy of the Tamils. Tamils wanted the GOSL to pay heed to their call and this is the ultimate approach, period.

HI AnuD,
I know people have desires, hopes, dreams and aspirations. But certainly not to the extent you have. It has gone to a point of grandiose ideas, that needs some psyciatric attention.
Have you heard of strategic withdrwals and re-location of new perimeters by the army in the past until they lost Mullaitivu, Elephant Pass and almost Palali.
What has happened to you in 2006? There must be a severe planetary displacement. AnuD, my friend, are you OK, please be frank, how is your sleep, apetite and libido? Are you in a low mood or anxious? That may need early attention.
I want you to pull through 2006.
Do you have any left over kiribath and katta sambol?
Kindly Nada |

Hi Prof. NaDA;
After eating Kiribath and Katta sambol, I am sure you are feeling sleepy.
That is why you wrote this, probably you feel always like this. |

Dear Ms.Gaja,
Thank you very much for the greetings.
'I have developed an image in my mind of you as the Chief respresentative of Educated Colombo Tamils. You have confirmed this yet again in substance.'
I felt that as a human being and if you want to exercise any measures ensuring security of all people there has to be an efficient program implemented.
Thus was my suggestion. GOSL would further deteriorate it's honest stand if it engages in activities that cause more emotional,physical and mental harm to the innocent civilians.
I read Bicubic's response where he had mentioned that there could be Sleeper Cells who cannot be identified and they may fall in the Innocents category.
If that is the case, I would call the JVP as the Sleeper Cell of this country that is disguised; a dictating and pseudo patriotic facade.
If the GOSL wants to implement an efficient screening system thay have the capability to do that with a few days and ensure everyone's security in Colombo and it's suburbs at a fraction of the cost they spend on the war budget.
People coming to Colombo could refrain from any harassment as well as attending to all administrative matters and notfall prey to malicious acts of those corrupted personnel of all sorts.
