P007,
Tamils blamed their political leaders one by one, starting with unitary state-GG Ponnampalam, then Federal-SJV Chelvanayagam and realised what Prof Suntharalingam has been telling them all along that separation was the only answer. It was too late then as the the Prof ws humiliated many times in the elections.
Our latest political leader, SJV, who was the latest convetrt to separation, said after being cheated and humiliated by Sinhala leaders that 'Tamils will perish rather than in the clutches of the majority'.
If a committed Gandhian pacifist could come to such a dispair, you can understand why Tamils have decided to follow a dropout.
For a community that has an abundant supply of highly qualified people exposed to workings of international affairs, diplomacy and politics, to surrender their lives and future to a bunker man for whom life is nothing but violence, is beyond belief
Do you understand why Palestinians voted for Hamas in preference to an educated doctor? If you do then what Tamils do will be within your belief.They were pushed to the brink of choosing between starvation and death on one hand and humiliation and slow death on the other.
Tamils are also at such a crossroad now.
It's patronising to talk about clever Tamils and Sinhalese Modayas. The 50 year old Sri Lankan history stand as a monumental evidence to the contrary. The government can bribe people to cause division between communities and within families or death by starvation or shooting.
In the first 30 years Tamils have lost all the confidence, became disolutioned during the last 23 years and will decide our future during next 10 years.
It's insulting to human decency to talk about one's cast or educational qualifications. Cambridge GGP failed us for his thirst for cabinet job but a dropout who with all his weaknesses and blunders is all that Tamills have got now. Only time will tell whether he will deliver anything or end up as another name in our long list of leaders. |

As I pointed out in my earlier post the Tamils should stop living in the past and look at today's realities. It seems the LTTE has been enormously successful in keeping the Tamils in the past though they have not been so successful with the IC.
If the Tamils don't get out of the past, it is they who will have to live with the consequences. This is 2006 and high time Tamils realised it and changed their thinking.
Do you understand why Palestinians voted for Hamas in preference to an educated doctor?
How relevant is the comparison with the Palestinians?
= Their problem was created by the IC in recognising an
alien state in their land. The IC did its best to cover
up its blunder by proposing various solutions through
the UN with several resolutions which the Israelis
contemotuously rejected.
= After 20 years of Israeli oppression and suppression which
the UN could do nothing about, the Palestinians started
their own liberation struggle.
= After 45 years of failure by UN to find a solution to
the problem, UN made way for others with the Norwegians
trying their hand and even they have made way for the
Israelis, with American backing, implementing their own
solution.
= After almost 60 years of oppression by the Israelis, the
Palestinians have democratically elected the Hamas.
Important to remember is that the UN involvement for 45
years from the inception and IC involvement one way or another after that. The SL problem had no international involvement, however cosmetic it may be, until recently. Only now, there are some signs of serious involvement by the IC. So to reach the stage the Palestinians have reached in democratically electing Hamas to power, the Tamils will have to wait another 60 years! Palestine situation and SL situation is like chalk and cheese.
It's patronising to talk about clever Tamils and Sinhalese Modayas.
It is not patronising but factual. The Tamils always refer to Sinhalese as 'madayans' and consider themselves 'clever'. Thats what I am referring to. |

P007,
The Tamils always refer to Sinhalese as 'madayans' and consider themselves 'clever'.
It's your perception. How can anyone think that Sinhalese are modayas, they have fooled Tamils/Muslims atb every inch of the way.
US is always with established govts as they don't know what's it being under rulers or colonialism. They always support the Govts except if its a communist or if they have an strategeic interest.
I am not sure weather you know what's happening in the Northeast. Tamils and Muslims are killed and all the kuillings are confined to the minority dominated provinces.
You probabily read The Island and form your views. I lived in the north for 9 months in 2005 and left only in March. It's hell, SLA, paramilitaries and LTTE, all are enagaged in killings.
You only sympathise with those outside Sri Lanka, who are oppressed by US, Norway and Isrealists. You must have a pretty good idea of what sort of Govt US support and it's not different in SL. VP is careful that Tamils or LTTE is not treated like Palestinians, that's by the GoSL's dicatat. That's what US wants, they are establishment biased.
If you know what's really happening in the NE I am sure you will sympathise with Tamils.
You say forget the past, is there any indication that things are changing. If anything to go by, it's getting worse, as the present Govt embraced the policies of the extremists, both JVP and JHU. Has the President said anything anywhere to the contrary. Has he investigated that rape in Jaffna, killings of those 5 youths, of MP Pararajasingam and so on? He may be a good man but made prisoner by these JVP/JHU. We have to deal with what's on offer. SWRD Banda was also a good man but gave into the extremism of UNP's JR and tore the pact he signed with our leader.
We cannot abandon LTTE now without anything concrete from the GoSL. They have not committed for a viable solution of genuine fedaralism within a united SL. Still GoSL talks about unitary state which is a recepe for disaster. We strongly believe that if KLTTE is defeated things will go back to pre 83 era and business will be as usual for all in the South.
I see some light around the corner from this EU proscription of LTTE. IC is waiting to see what's the GoSL is going to do next after doing what SL urged thm to do.
If there is a solution we all will bebefit as SrimLnkans.

It is not my perception. Any LTTE diehard will tell you that sinhalese are madayans.
US is always with established govts as they don't know what's it being under rulers or colonialism.
For your information, beginning with the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarachy in 1893, US has overthrown 14 governments since and has forcibly intervened in dozens more uptodate.
If you know what's really happening in the NE I am sure you will sympathise with Tamils
While I don't agree with any mistreatment of any human being any where by any body, fact is even the IC which was favourably disposed towards the LTTE due to excellent propaganda by the Tamil diaspora, has begun to see things differently thanks to LTTE's intransigence and cockiness. The responsibility for Tamil suffering now has to be laid at the LTTE.
I see some light around the corner from this EU proscription of LTTE.
So do I and Iam sure a lot many others. It is vitally important now for the Tamil diaspora to put some pressure on LTTE to go back to peace talks instead of war. |

The LTTE is threatened by any tamil who shows leadership qualities or achieves popularity among all communities. As world history shows all illiterates who achieve a seat of power feel vulnerable to those who possess what they lack, and feel compelled to violently remove the threat as soon as possible. Hence the long list of tamil acedemics, moderates and distinguished politicians that have been systematically eliminated.
Who's next?
There's this young tamil, who has shown his leadership qualities many times over, and has served Sri Lanka's interests without being victimized by the racist crap that has engulfed his own community. He commands respect among all communities and in international forums. He rarely involves himself in politics, but would be phenomenally successful in earning a large following the day he does. This young man is the archtype that would threaten the bucolik pipedream of the tamil despots and nattamis. So he could soon be the next target.

P007,
US has overthrown 14 governments since and has forcibly intervened in dozens more uptodate.
As I said US intervenes or overthrow Govts for her own interest. It could be because the Govt is red (communist) even it's democratically elected as in Chile or strategec interest Yogoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and so on. It has also bombed more than 20 countries. It's the main reason why EU preoscribed LTTE this time.
LTTE will go to the talks if the Govt is genuine and sincere instead of undermining and trying to destroy LTTE.
You must know during the 50 year peaceful protests or 23 year armed struggle no conflict resolution is blocked by the Tamils/LTTE but only by the Southern polity.
My critism of LTTE is in not allowing time for IC to digest the complexities of GoSL and the killings of Tamils/Muslims by rogue elements within SLA and SLA aided Tamil groups.
I know very well because I was in Jaffna that the recent killings were started by EPDP/SLA by killings 2 youths who organised LTTE's Heroes Day Commemoartion. LTTE/proxy set claymore mine with the loss of 8 SLA soldiers. This portays LTTE as the villain of peace. LTTE must listen to Anton Bala and others in the West than those in Vanni.
I can go so far as to say that LTTE must not retaliate to SLA's or para's provocations , instead let the IC/ SLMM handle the CFA violations of SLA and the unwillingness of GoSl in comming with any resolution of the ethnic problem. |

In the thread = President approves urgent arms purchases - on page 9 same day at 18.57 GMT you wrote:
No wounder why the british devided the madayans from the tamils!!
It didn't take 45 minutes for you to contradict yourself, child. If you are exercising your privilege to change your mind as a lady, no one can object I suppose! |

P007,
You say under the Hoole topic
No doubt there must be hundreds of thousands of intellectuals in Sri Lanka if only they will make the claim.
And here you say A person can fail many times, but he is not really a failure until he starts blaming others.
One who takes on blame also has the responsibility to self-assess and promote her/himself. When was the last time you promoted such a person?
love
gaja
