Shan,

IC has slowly taking control of failed racist state. The talks included strengthening SLMM.


It does seem so. This is a victory not only for International Governments but for all International participants of Sri Lankan origin who have kept working towards a higher level solution out of the control of either side.

The harder we work the more successful the International Solution will be.

Gaja,

Now that both sides have failed to protect their civilians, neither side has the power to lead the negotiations.


You fail to realise the CFA violations carried out by the LTTE including the closure of the Mavilaru sluice gates. Such acts can only be classified as anti-social and inhumane.

The subsequent retaliation by the GOSL is somewhat justified due to its magnitude of public devastation. This is done in good faith to keep the humanitarian interest.

LTTE have thus be trapped to come to peace talks on conditions which means that the present CFA be amended as required.

Yes I watched television coverage after the meeting of Norway, EU, Japan and USA. All were focussed and have working plan towards SL.

By all means one of the above countries is enough to dictate things to country like SL. India is fully backing Norway's initiative and stated CFA as a starting point. So failed state will be soon having more visitors and advisors.

JRJ,

If a government has to resort to military action with little concern for the damage to the civilians in that area - then it can be humanitarian ONLY for the government's side. A government that does not include the LTTE and its supporters in its thinking, is not a government of Tamils. It therefore has lost its authority to lead Sri Lanka. It has the authority to lead Sinhalese but not Sri Lanka.

You say
LTTE have thus be trapped to come to peace talks on conditions which means that the present CFA be amended as required


If the Government is trying to 'trap' the LTTE then to them LTTE are Terrorists. They would therefore carry that mindset into any 'talks' and agreements. This would seriously disadvantage Tamils who would be affected by the agreements - even if the LTTE sign with that kind of 'attitude'. I doubt that a true Tiger would accept the Government taking up superior position.

In other words, the International Community is going ahead with or without MR's isolation policy.

So Govt should bomb the Tamil village and massacre NGO workers. For MR and you it is acceptable not for the IC.

Gaja,

You have failed to understand what I was aiming at in my post. You try to merge all tamils as tigers. You have not realised why there is not a single voice heard against the LTTE? Care to know why? You can see what has happened to the other tamil party leaders who didn't have any security. This clearly shows that tamil support towards the LTTE is held at the gun point than a loyalty. That is the difference I was telling you between the GOSL and the LTTE where GOSL don't kill who are against them but the former do.

Of course the Tigers are known as terrorists and this cannot be ruled out due to their terror activities. The behaviour of the tigers cannot be claimed as a responsible party of the tamils liberation when you see your own people being killed. You can call it as tiger liberation but not tamil liberation. That is why it is important to have conditions on any future talks.

This is the reason as long as the LTTE continue its adamant behaviour it will only drag things for all the tamils in the NE. Unless they realise its a lost cause.

Forget about the foreign aids. If SL is self sufficient can they behave as they like? Genocide is no longer tolerated by the IC. GOSL is a banana republic trying hard to come out from CFA and the monitors to be out ASAP. I don't see any chance of it now.

Hi Gaja

IC is not going ahead ignoring MR. If IC had any room for LTTE Manmohan Singh would have given at least 15 minutes to TNA's as a token. No. He did not. Then came Karunandi. He also said NO.

US. UK, India with GOSL have ochestrated a clear policy. When Blair gives time from his holiday to see MR that says a lot about what is going behind the scene.

This time Keheliya and MR have taken Erik S on another ride. Erik S should know better to get things in writing.

I agree. MR should now use Ranil W for the benefit of the country. It's no point marginalising him.

I also note people saying that GOSL should take into account LTTE and otherwise GOSL will marginalise TAmils.

Tamils are NOT LTTE and LTTE is NOT all Tamils.
