mandella was dealing with africaaners (whites)
gandhi was dealing with english
i have met many africaaners, many are decent and accept the injustices whiltes imposed on blacks in south africa. mandella had an easier task compared to tamils, but mandellas task was extremely painstaking. have read about him and in world history i admire mandella over any other person for his perseverance, integrity, principle as well as his repsect for all south african, whether they are black, white, coloured or indian. he never stooped to a lower morality despite being imprisoned in robben island for 27 years, and he embraced south africa for what it is, of black and whites
english are also genuinly ashamed of the wrongs of the colonial past and admit their mistakes
tamils have a harder task than mandella, or even the great mahatma gandi
how many sinhalas do you see accept the gruesome atrocities commited by sinhala army. many dont agree with their methods, and others only say childish responses like
all tamils killed by LTTE
human shields
if tamils want peace, they should go back to tamil nadu, their homeland
how can you deal with them?
come to reality

The Tigers' patches of eastern territory are cut off from their main northern stronghold by military-held areas
Geographically, this fact came to a deadly reality for LTTE since many months ago. They have isolated poor Tamils boys to fight the government and Karuna. without air or sea power, LTTE cant keep the coordination.
This may give an ugly moral lost for Tamils.
Now, I hope LTTE must learn the lesson and ready to have pace, before its going to kill more boys from both sides.
They way the best way, LTTE cane keep the power within Tamils.
Too long journey is not going to help a lot. |

Nobody deserved to be killed. Killing individuals is always wrong and specially if it was the leader of another country.
Rajiv was immatured and cunning JR used him to get the IPKF do the dirty job of killing and raping on his behalf. Clever diplomacy and maneuvers would have overcome those blunders. IPKF blundered, yes, the answer is not to kill a leader however foolish he was. He was not an individual but a leader of 1 billion people, so, anything did to him tantamount to hurting his countrymen. |

LTTE only kill dollar $$$$ tamils, like they target anandasangaree. LTTE dont kill tamil politicians like TNA members
you say LTTE killed more tamil. what sort of tamil are you talking about, those traitor dollar thirsty tamil like a'sangaree
sinhala army are the only ones that kill civilians deliberatly, inlcuding about 100,000 sinhala civilians, and 50,000 - 70,000 tamil civilians, all deliberatley. LTTE have only killed few sinhalas by accidental crossfire, never deliberately targetting sinhala or tamil civilians, and not even killing tamil civilians accidently
also, why was kathirgama killed by sinhala army?

Pharoah,
how many sinhalas do you see accept the gruesome atrocities commited by sinhala army
Majority of Sinhalese are decent and friendly people. What you see in the forum is not a random sample but an outlier or extreme(biased) sample. Those who were educated specially in English want to preserve their previledge and they are misquided to think it can be done by keeping the minorities under their thumb. Most of these idiots read the racist or Govt controlled media and make up their mind on the partial knowledge. Many of them really do not know the atrocities SLA/STF/paramilitaries commit on civilians in the NE.
It is better not to let them determine your agenda. They want you to trap you. If you say 'killing him or her justified' they would take it as the opinion of Tamils in general. Have your agenda and take them along with it. We need not answer their stupid questions.

Thava, a quick question from you ?.
you claim to be anti tiger allways,and you say you are against racism , I have seen a few of your posts where you condemn the tigers and Praba for all the killings , but what you fail to mention here is the killings of tamils systematically from 1956 onwards long before Praba was created.
I don't always agree with what the tigers are doing , I am always against the civilians getting killed. I don't think you have condemned the SLA Sencholai killings, Allaipiddy , Mannar , trinco students, Aid workers , then comes the daily kidnapping of tamils in Colombo ... who do you think is responsible ?
Also lets say the tigers are destroyed , do you honestly believe your sinhalese government will give you all a better life a life without murders or being treated like slaves etc.
I have seen it first hand right from where I came from Vavuniya how these Sinhala racists killed 100's of students even before the 83 riots. I count 90% of my friends as sinhalese ( we never touch politics between us) and some of them have once in a way without realising I was with them have passed a few racist remarks etc.
I agree I have racism in me , but not to the extent that a sinhalese friends have ... this was confirmed by few of my sinhalse friends too.
Pls. give me your honest opinion.
cheers |

i never said tamils killing sinhala civilians is justified, i will never stoop that low.
i have met many sinhalas outside of this forum. there are few decent sinhalas, but i would say a lot of them are under pressure from extremists to say anything bad against the government. i never talk in depth about politics as it isnt appropriate, but i would say this forum is a random sample and it is the largest sri lankan internt forum. this is the place where everyone can express opnions without hesitation of offending people to their face
how many tamils say it is good for tamils to kill sinhala civilians? i have only seen very few, which indicates a random sample and true representation of tamils
but many sinhalas do glorify that killing tamil civilians as sinhala nationalism
regarding slightly reasonale sinhalas who give in to extremists one example was premadasa, who was better than the other sinhala presidents but was under pressure from sinhala extremists and could not offer an acceptable solution to tamils |
