Times and times again since the 70s these monkeys in the south were told to put off the military solution to end the political policy differences between the communities instead *TALK N COMPROMISE* to end!
military solution is not the answer for the political policy differences!
tigress19,
In 70's the only people who were talking about a military solution were Tamils. Then they put it in to action by 1983.
GOSL had no alternative but to retaliate when Tamils took arms for a military solution. Yet they are reiterating that military solution is not the choice but a political solution to the problem.
GOSL , the majority of the Sri Lankans which includes the Singhalese majority , Tamil speaking Muslims , Estate Tamils and now a fraction of the Sri Lankan Tamils too are opposing a Tamil Eelam, as well as a merged North/East dictatorship under LTTE. Now this is not a fantasy but a reality. Thousands of Tamil lives are lost and in jeopardy from a failed armed struggle. The armed struggle cannot go further anymore. The socio, political and ethnic differences of the Sri Lankan society of post independence Sri Lanka had evolved to a higher stage through a dialectical phenomena happened every where in the world. Philosophy in politics changed to abandon the socialist oriented economy to a free market economy. The improvement in communication and commercialization of values changed the mentality of the new generation of the society to ignore cultural, religious, and ethnic barriers which separated them selves. More importantly the Majority Singhalese who were deprived of western type of education had successfully overcome the centuries old barrier through vernacular education. So those elements which made the Majority take reactionary steps hurting the Tamil minority does not exist any more. The obstacle to make a viable political solution is that the so called Tamil representatives, LTTE continues to fight for an old issue which had been resolved already. Now it is not the original issue what matters but the repercussions of a 30 year old agenda and 25 year old war.
The end of LTTE as a military organization as well as Prabhakaran's dictatorship is obvious, 'TALK N COMPROMISE or not. Prabhakaran will get killed by LTTE or GOSL .There is a life beyond Prbhakaran's dictatorship for Tamils, which is more prosperous in a unitary Sri Lanka than a failed armed struggle for a racist concept of monolithic Tamil Eelam. |

you deserve a lengthy answer but i have to make it very short as I'm busy with other things.
lets say your have a teen age son and do not really agree with every thing you say. he even at one stage threatened you that he will use violent to cross you.
one day as usual the things went wrong between you and the son, he accidentaly (or may with full intention) bumped on you and you thought he acted intentionally to hurt your feelings.
now will you hit him back? or you would sit n talk to end the feud?
who should be acting with more responsible? isn't he trying to get the attention he wants? (he may be wrong , may be right)
this is the same situation the govt of srilanka and the tigers at one point. but you did not have to dealt with the tigers at that time but the non violent Tamil politicians.( you could have use your non violent wife to influence your son?)
i would like yours or any ones feed back, i will respond as soon as poss!

Economic fall out after port attack feared

The attack on the Colombo Port yesterday by the LTTE would have a direct impact on the economy, analysts feared.
Economic analysts say the attack would affect transshipments if insurance premiums were increased due to the high war risk factor.
Economist Dr. Harsha de Silva told The Sunday Leader the attack would result in an increase in transaction costs as insurance premiums would be increased and would directly have an impact on the transshipments.
According to de Silva, it would also have an impact on Sri Lanka?s target of being a hub port in the region.
A marine insurance expert told The Sunday Leader that the country might not face any immediate impact in the aftermath of yesterday?s attack where there would be an increase in the insurance surcharge on ships and cargo.
However, he noted that a repetition of such an act would have an impact as the ship owners would have to pay a higher surcharge and the cargo importers too would be forced to pay a higher insurance surcharge.
?When there is an increase in the surcharge, the burden will have to be passed on and it will finally go to the consumers,? he said.
He explained that while the present insurance rate stands at .05% it could vary depending on the risk exposure.
However, Ports and Aviation Minister Mangala Samaraweera who visited the site and commended the Sri Lanka Navy and Ports Authority for their action in dispelling any threat and resuming normal operations has said, ?This proves again that the Port of Colombo is one of the safest ports in the world.?
Deputy Ports and Aviation Minister Duminda Dissanayake told The Sunday Leader that the government did not expect the attack to have any affect on transshipments as the confrontation took place outside the harbor.
?Unlike the previous time when such an attack took place, this time it was out harbor and the vessels in the harbor were not affected,? he said.
Dissanayake said the containers that were damaged during the confrontation were in a vessel, which was out harbor. The attack damaged three containers in a foreign merchant vessel.
Dissanayake also said that there has still been no discussion whether the cargo owners would be paid any compensation for the damaged containers.
?The attack proved the high level of security in the port and we are confident that it would not have any impact on the transshipments and the economy on the whole,? he said.
Terminal operations in the harbour had resumed within an hour of the incident, and normal vessel movements commenced at 9:00 a.m.
The Tigers earlier entered the Colombo Port in April 1996, when it damaged foreign ships with RPGs, but security men blew the LTTE craft before they could cause major damage.
Since then, authorities have tightened security and banned fishing near ports. |

Satallite pictures prove that LTTE looted items from the stranded ship in the Mullativy sea area.
LTTE activities show that they are threat to the peace and commercial shipping activities in the region.
Therefore, GOSL should take decisive action against LTTE sea activities.
This should be a humanitarian operation similar to what happened in the East.
Govt. accuses Tigers of looting Farah 3
Saturday, January 27,2007
COLOMBO: The government Friday accused the Tamil Tigers of looting the Jordanian ship, which was under LTTE custody in Mullaitivu since December 23 last year. ?We have taken satellite pictures showing the Tigers looting the Jordanian merchant ship which was carrying 14,000 tonnes of rice,? government Defence spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said.
Satellite pictures clearly show a large number of Tiger cadres engaging in removing items from the ship, which is clear violation of International Maritime Law. ?They (LTTE) initially boarded the ship illegally and brought it to the Mullaitivu anchorage after harassing the crew and ?looting? the ship,? the minister charged.
Minister Rambukwelle also said the government told the owners of the stalled vessel to sort out the insurance related issues with the insurance company concerned before the government takes suitable action. ?We would take appropriate action at the right time,? he said.
