You are very pragmatic and philosophical. After all, we are from the same country. So keep in touch.
In politics, every thing is short term. USSR came and now gone. Like that, there were so many empires, ottoman (turks), Iraq (what ever it is called), Indian empire all gone.
My openion is when these affected areas or countries economiclly develop and people have better living conditions, they will not care any more about the land and the nationalism.
Even at this moment, nationalists are those who are better off than those in the affected areas. In those areas they just want to live in peace.

Only thing that I say, I dont know how you say consciously, that LTTE is going to preserve everything for you.
Besides, you are very partial. You are trying to prove that your view is right and every thing is immaterial. You describe things the way you see it which is wrong. |

in a way we all the south asian countries can come under one flag like the European union without loosing every single communities identity.(Russia oppressed other states like Chechnya)
in lanka tamils have lost their identity.thats the problem.federalism might re offer the identity the tamils deserve.
that is what i believe and hope for the betterment of all communities.it will take a long time.
but eelam first just for our identity. |

I understand your point very well. Everything is the way we present it.
Depending on how one present it one can acheive so many things.
Right now, tamil extremists have scared southerners, made them insecure. Now people are fighting back not because they want to deprive you something but for their own existance or survival. That is how I see it. |

im from vanni and the vanni people are scared of southerns too.but they have no choice except to put face against it.
these two communities in lanka are too proud of them selves.thats the problem.
even if eelam born,i personally do not think the southerners have to worry about the north or east.border villages might have a little fear on both sides.having a strickt border control (road map) will do the job.
if still problems exist only one way to sort it is build a wall, a quite high wall.thats what i think. |

I do not know what do you mean by vanni people, general public or LTTE higher ranks.
That is why, I think there should not be another war becuase of the simple reason, poor people get hammered. LTTE knowingly use that as a cover.
With respect to walls, intention and dedication are the most important. Other wise, both sides are intelligent. Even children can build tunnels underneath and throw stones over the wall.
I heard so many trade barriers established before the 2nd world war caused isolation between nations and that caused friction among nations. Because of that ethnic groups should not isolate themselves from each other. While they preserve their culture they should also mix with other ethnic groups.
One thing tamils should be celebrating their culture even in southern areas (I have seen only arangattrum). GOSL should mix tamil events when ever there is celebrations that the government involve. I think that is happening now but not long ago.

if there is eelam and if there is no wall the people who oppose the peace will damage the relation ship between the two communities.
so by having a wall and the wall is alarmed then, at least the alarmed wall deter or might work as a obstacle to the people who oppose peace.
thats all i meant. |
