KURAL
LTTE want war and not SLA ?

We have given Eelam Tamil Terrorists a war to learn and run for their lives.Come and face the rest.
Have you heard lately the beating received by Tamil Terrorists in Thoppigala.Beating in waters.How do you fancy aerial bombardment in Tamil Terrorist concentrated jungle areas.How about the arms and ammunition captured with the assistance of innocent Tamil civilians.All these are current.
So you know Eelam Tamil Terrorists can only represent thugs.Not any of the innocent Tamils.They have become a vulnerable target because of the existence of brainless people like you.
Spitting words can only get you out of your frustration temporarily.But the reality is good enough to give you a heart attack.
Karuna caption is just to keep the headlines down.:-))

Moby1975,

Woohhh; just hold your horses.

Never mind about what LTTE wants; what is on offer from the Sinhala polity? The successive governments of Sri Lanka begged the International Community (IC) to ban the LTTE promising that they will progress the peaceful negotiation. The IC has been stressing for power devolution proposal, and they are prepared to lend hands and share their experiences. But, the question is, is the Sinhala polity ready? Is there a consensus at least among the major parties?

I do not understand why people like you focus on what LTTE wants. The Sinhalese do not need the Tamils to make the political system more democratic, secular, and inclusive. If such steps have been taken, the existence of LTTE will be untenable. Do you now see the logic?

Karuna wanted peace and that is why he himself distanced from velu's thugs.
Backstabbing Karuna got velu an upper hand temporarily.But lost his men,women & children/grounds/weapons and credibility in the long run.
Without Karuna and his group,velu's group is as good as dead.For Eelam Tamil Terrorists and their supporters,
Karuna issue is very much equal to sour grapes story.:-))

Sinhalas never understand what secular mean..they have been the majority, but never used their brains to accomodate minorities... even Nepal recently made their country secular... but, Sinhala buddhists never want to let buddhism out of their hard heads!

Tamil National Leader Col. Karuna Amman will work with the government to find a permemenant solution once the Thippigala camp is cleared. :)

Sri Lanka actually NEED the support of all communities to make the country more democratic. The problem here is the Sinhalese (which I am) is not willing to let go of the power base they held since freedom. We all know how sordid that past is. Lets not get some of our members started on that here now. That fear of letting go arose after 400 years of subjugation from the Europeans and the subsequent insecurities that stemmed from that. The fear of letting another race rule the Sinhalese is instilled in many Sri Lankans. Same goes for the Tamil population, they want the same thing that they craved for during that 400 years. Its a fight for something that both parties crave for but none is willing to compromise. Thats how I see it. Maybe flawed, but thats my humble opinion..

Moby,

Whatever we do we should enforce the principle of equal per-capita acreage. So far the other minorities have not asked for their pound of flesh (or acre of land) as I believe they are reasonably content unlike the Supremacists among the Tamils who claim they are suffering discrimination. They wanted 50% control in parliament, were not content with 50% of places in University, complained of discrimination in jobs when a hefty proportion (far in excess of their ethnic proportion) of Doctors, Engineers, Civil Servants, Diplomats were Tamils and now want the Lion (pardon the punn) share of the land.

Besides it might be a good thing if Moslems and Bahais ask for their share as well and opt out of the unitary state because they will soon realise how unworkable their tiny states are and come rushing back to join the union and appreciate what they've got.

Kadphises, you are absolutely right. But is there a single country on Earth where land distribution is proportional to the population/ethnicities? Is the US divided along ethnic lines geographically? Is UK, OZ? Etc etc?

Moby1975,

wow, now you are talking sense. In fact, the Sinhalese will be even more powerful, if the county were to be recognised once more as a county that is worthy of investment. Devolving power means not loosing control, but about building a nation.

Not long ago, the Scottish National Party was ridding high, but since the Scottish Parliament had been set up, their power-base had strung, because the people feel that they are empowered.

My view is that, the Sinhalese will not find a solution to the national question without countering head-on the Sinhala Buddhist Chauvinism. Who has the back born to do just that? Certainly not MR!
