How about if all other Prisoners start hunger strikes
Guys
Sri Lanka has an excellent record of treating prisoners. Welikada massacre, Bindurunwewa massacre, Killing of Wijeweera and Gamanayake & co in captivity...
Your idea is good. Starve all prisoners. Then you can save more money for MR Bros and Sons company:)) |

I thought I might post a very selective extract from Ambassador Blake's Remarks to the American Chamber of Commerce Lunch, held on the 9 of October 2007 at the Cinnamon Grand in Colombo.. :O)
..The United States has been a strong and unwavering supporter of Sri Lanka's fight to defend itself against terrorist attacks from the LTTE. That support takes many forms from military, to law enforcement cooperation, to efforts to help Sri Lanka stop financial flows to the LTTE, to our contributions to enhancing the security of the Colombo Port through the Container Security Initiative of the US Department of Homeland Security and the Megaports Initiative of the Department of Energy.
The Sri Lankan military has achieved important victories in the past year, including the defeat of the LTTE in the east, and the sinking of many LTTE tankers used to deliver military and other supplies to the Tamil Tigers. Such victories and U.S. support for Sri Lanka should demonstrate to the LTTE that they cannot hope to win this conflict.
However, the government's victories also have come at a very high cost in human lives and suffering. Thousands have died in the last year alone, adding to the toll of around 70,000 in the quarter-century history of the conflict. Hundreds of thousands more have become homeless and endured severe privation. To help relieve the suffering the U.S. has donated food worth $14 million so far this year, with another shipment valued at an additional US$9 million set to arrive later in the year.
But both sides must realize there can be no military solution to Sri Lanka's conflict. The U.S. welcomes Foreign Minister Bogollogama's public statement during his visit to Washington last week that President Rajapaksa's government agrees the conflict cannot be solved through military means.
...
..Giving the minorities a stake in their own affairs is critical to win their support, and bring about a new perspective that their lives are better under Government rather than terrorist control. It will show them that they have a much brighter future within a united Sri Lanka than they ever could under an LTTE dictatorship. Giving Tamils and Muslims this hope will undermine Prabhakaran and the LTTE in a way nothing else could.
''Such victories and U.S. support for Sri Lanka should demonstrate to the LTTE that they cannot hope to win this conflict.''
Care to comment anyone!!.. :O))

LTTE does not care if they win the war as long as they can keep going using gurrilla tactics. So, this will eventually become one of the longest gurrilla wars in the world... |

Nightfox, didn't mean to brush off your question. I was too excited to see the new trailer. Sorry if it rubbed the wrong way. Blake has been behind the GOSL in a big way from Day One. The US is itching to get a piece of the SL action as that will give them an ideal platform towards India, would the need ever arise. This region has two Nuke powers jostling for elbow room and the US will not want that and somehow SL is in the fulcrum. Correct me if I am wrong. |
