Hello Tamil Lankan.
i am not offended by your comment, in fact iam once again proud of my community. we tamils never intended to hurt snhala community. that is why even after 55,000 tamils killed by arm forces and 25,000 tamils arrested and disapeared we never attacked sinhala civilions.
here and there some retaliation attacks did happen and not more tahn 2000 sinhalese killed in this 2 decades war.
you tell me where tamils attacked and killed 55,000 sinhalese??
did tamils abduct 25,000 sinhalese???
we tamils dont do things like those low grade sinhalese , today we must realise at this momomet we educated ourselves and having a decent life , this is not sinhala government intention. their intension was to kick us all out from the island to anywhere. and with our hard work and family support taht we are where we are.
and today we must think of those families who are facing same problem as what we faced two decades ago. same struggle and more killings.
this is nothing else ethinic cleansing,
having lived in foreign country we see how the community are united and even countries are united cdommunity relations , it is all because of government legistlations, and LAW and order.
in srilanka what we saw and what we see are government backed thugery.
if we keep silent today in twent years later 250,000 killed and entire tamil community will be dispalced in foreign countries.
they say there are 3,000,000 tamil community and you see 300,000in canada.1 million people are displaced in foreign country.
if we still wait with patience. there is no tamils will be left in srilanka in the next twenty years.
what we now need to look hard is this
for blocking sinhalese water for 20 days 600 tamils death,
for two millions livelyhood was effected for two decades and what did we do??? |

This is typical of thease readers, not looking what did really went on.
i am sort of tired of explaining to this partly blined people.
why there is prabaharan?
why do we see support for him and his organisations around the world?
didnt we tamils protested all the peacefull ways? before we saw this arm conflict?
can the government win this war?? or the LTTE win the war?
who are the loosers in this war?
what is the solution? |

JohnA,
The first unilateral ceasefire was declared on 25th of december,2000,on the christmas day,after the govt's debacle of Elephant Pass, and that was nine months before 9/11.Are you going to say that the LTTE was aware of 9/11 attack 9 months ahead of the attack?If so you are implying that LTTE was also partner to the attack .Even the US govt will not believe that.It was a mere coincidence that the LTTES unilateral declaration of ceasefire with that of 9/11.. |

Athos,
The point I was trying to make was that we cannot continue to think that a war would solve the problem.
I'm not a fan of the LTTE but do you really think you can defeat a guerrilla movement? You simply cannot! LTTE cannot be destroyed and disarmed by war . The reason for it is very simple----After 30years or more of war --LTTE is now part of the life of any Tamil.
So the options: How about bomb the whole of North and East with a nuclear bomb--remove the Tamil people from the equation? Do you think that will work?(before you say ....yes ).
Athos----Please don't forget the worldwide Tamil population. Current census estimates it around 120 million. The majority living just 15 miles off the coast of Jaffna!
We need to find a political solution pretty fast--if we don't do that mark my words --very soon north and east of Sri Lanka will become part of India.
What I'm going to say next --could make you laugh--BUT there are several 'think tanks'(influential western think tanks with no affiliation with Tamils or Sinhalese)who believe that Sri Lanka's future is with India --AS A STATE OF INDIA!
Now, I like my heritage as a Sri Lankan Tamil and i do not want this to ever happen. We may joke about it now but don't forget for any country to survive it needs 'capital growth'--we currently have a disastrous economy.
This is my greatest fear--as we fight along racial divisions we forget our true differences are very petty indeed.
Peaceful resolution is the only option!!! if we don't go down that path---no more Sri lanka or Tamil Eelam. Just 'INDIA--the true superpower of the future'(this line is from the Forbes Investment magazine)! |

Just a quick note to say :
Thank you brother 'mRNOTRacist'--At least there are still people in this forum who believe the future of a prosperous Sri lanka is only with a peaceful resolution to the ethnic conflict.
My dear Athos----A quote from a chap called 'Mahatma Gandhi'(He is not exactly an ignorant fool!?) :-)
'An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind'

| Nale...and how long did the unilateral ceasefire last ? It was obviously long forgotten about by 27 July 2001 when your pals bombed the airport. It was the airport bombing that made the association with LTTE and international terrorism as far as the IC were concerned, because they targeted an international airport. I re-iterate, post 9/11 the LTTE were desperate for the CFA. Now they think that spectre is behind them, but the truth is the LTTE is still a proscribed organisation in the US. If the SLA run out of bullets, Uncle Sam'll be airlifting them out here faster than a rat up a drainpipe, and if the Kfirs don't work, I expect you will find the LTTE facing A10s and Tomcats. After all George W is having his 'War on Terror'. |

JohnA'
LTTE's first ceasefire ended on 25th of April 2001,because the Chandrica govt refused accept the LTTE's first unilatreal ceasef declared on the christmas day of 2000,and continued to wage war against the LTTE.So, there wasn't any point in continuing the ceasefire if the other side is not going to accept it and honour it.But when the LTTE declared its second unilateral ceasefire on the christmas day of 2001,then Ranil govt accepted it and later in on February 22nd signed the CFA,which is being sabotaged by the MottaRala's govt. and we have the war now. |

| The current situation does favour the tigers, who control the elephant pass, as a result, Jaffna is not going to be diffcult to take, they also have the option of opening multiple battlefields. Tamil Nadu is slowly leaning towards the tigers side, the SL governments image aboard has been ruined due the arial bombarment of humantarian zones. Things don't look so good for the government with the current situation. |
