Godcube,
Interesting facts in your post. To be honest I don't believe in ultra Maxist politics to a small country like SL. That is why I don't believe SL will be given the JVP hand to serve upon an election. Their politics local wise have improved considerably and I don't deny with things like 1000 construction of wew etc. But that is part of the equation. In fact I believe we need open economy to develop the country.
This is one of the reasons why I believe that total socialism would leave us behind in the global spectrum.
Talking ethnically we cannot leave the tamil issue dragging and as has been in the past if we drag the problem in the years to come it would only leave us in isolation in the world map. A Collective effort is therefore needed.
Something of a Federal lines is therefore must be looked at. Whether that is tangible to LTTE or not is not the issue but that will cage the LTTE and provide the tamils an eye opener.
I don't wish Mahinda to be premature. Though I don't agree much of his policies he slowly does what Ranil would have done, so in other words he's a nice replica of Ranil only to be counter balanced by the JVP. But talking of Weerawansa, he may have a personal agenda with the rural Sinhalese community which is beneficial to him, but yet again we are talking as the whole island and he has to be feasible with the tamil community. Because tamils are a significant minority and their voices must be heard.

To be honest I believe the sinhslese strategy (voluntaryor involantary) is to darg on time. This may work given Indias reluctance to gepordise the integrety of India with regards to Tamil Nadu and the numerical advantage of the Sinhalese.
Though some inteligent tamils like Rewy recognise this fact there is very little that tamils can do for it.
Nerther do I believe that pure socialist/maxist ideology is beneficial to Sri Lanka. But one the other hand already The JVP have moved form the exteam left to center left. JVP now stands where SLFP used to stand 30 years ago.
For the JVP to have any realistic chance to come into power it will have to make a coalition with the SLFP and move right to the center.
I you take the Sinhala Buddist electorate MR/JVP coalition had a vote of over 60%. and if there is a Election today MR/JVP will easily win close 70% of the sinhala buddist votes.
to go back to tamil issue there was a major change of sinhalese mind set form the early 80 to late 90s only by passage of time and the stalemate in the battlefront. You can not totaly rule out such a change among the tamils one Velu is dead and there are more moderate tamil leaders like say Karuna and thamil chelwam. Kruna has already accepted federal solution.
By the passage of time the whole political landscape may change. For instance if there is substasive oil reserves in the north east as a result of the exploitain of such may dilute the demography of the north and the east.
Unless there are atleast 40% of the population of north east is non tamil there will not be lasting , I mean a lasting, solution will not be found. (separate country is out of question due to Indian interests).
For a long lasting solution there should be a mechanism for both communites to live side by side interacting with each other and benefiting form each other with out tring to have brinkmenship. I cannot imagin that happening unless there is massive movemnt of poeple both up and down.
A federal soution will only make a temporalry peace and another protracted separatist war. Not peace. |

Godcube,
I am not writing off Federal as a solution despite LTTE being hell bent in their cause.
But what you have mentioned subsequent to a Federal establishment is likely too. Then again these all have to be very long and intricate affairs than one can say easily.
So in your view the lasting war/peace scenario as we have seen in the recent months is likely to remain for some time unless LTTE come out and start flashing all their guns ablaze (which is highly UNLIKELY give their strength is bare minimum at the moment).
But how can you write-off the demeger of NE subsequent to the 5 year completion of the CFA should this condition carry on?
