Kamani:
LTTE killed educated tamils like DR Neelan Thiruchchelvam and many more. So if I say LTTE represents majority of tamils that would not be a fair assessment because may be our of fear People support the tigers not genunely.
More than 95% of the Tamils in the last election voted for TNA endorsing their election manifesto. The election manifesto stated LTTE is the sole representative of Tamils. Would that not a proof that the whole Tamil community except a few traitors supports LTTE? A freedom movement can not sustain for long with out any support from the people. LTTE's fighting capability is still growing and this can not happen without that support base.
We know what happened when Karuna came out and now Velu is cahsing Karuna and his cadres. So how can one expect fairness or justice?
Is not Sri lanka also chasing the army deserters? Would that then mean there is no fairness and justice for the Sinhalese in Sri lanka. Karuna was a military commander in LTTE, and after his rebellion he with the covert (now obvious) support from SLA targeted senior LTTE cadres. LTTE as military-political organization have to take that challenge and go after them. Karuna is not a politician to try in the Tamil Eelam court of justice, but he involved in serious crime. It is because of Karuna and his support from SLA made this CFA into crisis.

Rick,
the nation has already been separated
You don't need to laugh but its true that most of the tamils live in SW than NE so why the country should be divided into two areas. Nobody can divided it officially and that is why Ranil Wickremesinghe lost the Sinhalese votes.
I am not saying the tamils should be slaves but they cannot take a part of the country especially 1/3rd of the country for 10% population. If that is the case what will happen to those tamils in SW, are the Sinhalese going to chase them to NE? |

You can not deprive the rights of the Tamil to secede because they are minority and inhibited in 1/3 of Sri Lanka. The north and the east is the traditional homeland of Tamils. What the Tamils initially wanted is for the Sri lanka to acknowledge that, and the Tamils wanted live along with Sinhalese in a federal setup. But you guys have turned down their peace full demand (prior to LTTE era), and forced the Tamils to take arms. I think this is now too late to even talk about these.

This is not a difficult task for the Sinhalese. GOSL sponsored Sinhala mobs and thugs killed and chased away thousand of Tamils who lived in the Manal Aru (Weli Oya) and settled Sinhalese there. I do not have to answer your question whether Sinhaalese going to chase those Tamils in SW to NE. Because they have a reputation of chasing the Tamils away even from their own homeland, and chasing them away from SW is not a big deal for the Sinhalese. The reason some Tamils living in the SE is because of twenty years of war they could find jobs only in Colombo, and because of the war and economic embargo, they were able to find even food and medicine only in SW. But when Tamils will form the TE, these people will go back and settle in the Tamil Homeland. They will not wait until you chase them away. Do not think Tamils are living happily in the south. They are living with fears. Did not you see news of five or six headless Tamils bodies were recently found in the outskirt of Colombo. Sri Lanka is famous for extrajudicial killings and human rights abuse, and no Tamils will live in peace in SW. Only solution to this is to let the Tamil to decide their own destiny. |

There are three impediments to peace in SL:
(i) the brutal acts and vicious violence of the LTTE leaders and in particular VP, pottu, soosai etc. I feel sorry for the LTTE rank and file since they are mostly unfortunate child soldiers
(ii) the JVP/JHU who are against a federal system for the NE when almost all sinhalese accept this including the SLFP/UNP as a good solution to end this crisis.
I am a socialist and support devolution/federal system for the NE to share political power with the tamil people.
(iii) some part (not all by all means!)of the tamil diaspora who live in western countries who fund and support the brutal acts and war mongering of the LTTE and there are good examples in this forum |

Forest:
Politicians only feel the nerves of the people and devise policy accordingly so that they could win the election. Mahinda said he is for a unitary state, and Sinhalese elected him. It is the Sinhala mindset that is blocking a federal setup for Tamils, which in turn is not helping to bring peace. You should first look inwards for reasons before blaming the Diaspora. |

I was just thinking, We cant compare N and E because its subjected to terrorism.
In Colombo where a substantial amount of Tamils live, what additional rights would Tamils require ?
Tamils when compared to numbers were in higher positions in society, they were well educated and had a better command of the international language than the average sinhalese. Some say they were favored during A/L examinations as Tamils but I honestly dont know.
But for me they have lost all of this due to this federal ideology created just after independence. Correct me if I am wrong, I am yet to see any credible statistics that more Tamils lived in N and E than S and W. so I am not sure if its reasonable.
But right now, LTTE the terrorists as defined by many countries and including the largest federal EU will ruin our country unless federal is granted. I wouldnt want to see more blood shed. All these are cancerous concepts grown by both Sinhala and Tamil politicians for their own survival. Tamils in N and E are far too divided with the S and W, so the solution would be federal.
Its 12 AM. Better get some sleep
