Pera,
Ruling a country and winning an election are two different things.
Even Churchill who save the country from Hitler during the World War II lost to Clement Attlee in the next election.
I have no reason to save the skin of RW, who is now basically history but never think the ability to win an election is enough to rule a country.
Please remember, even Hitler came to power by popular vote. That did not make him a good ruler.

To those traitors who has relative amnesia I want to remind that they killed the FM of Sri Lanka the arch rival of LTTE during this CFA.
I never knew Tyronne Fernanodo, the FM during the UNP regime was killed by LTTE.
Always Magha educates us with things we never know.

Obviously some of you have very strong convictions, for which you are entitled to!
Good Luck to you.
But, very soon reality will dawn on Sri Lanka.
I am not interested in defending RW. But, we should try to find out, ' What is right, and not Who is right?' to quote Lalith A |

CFA was signed when LTTE was in a very powerful position after many military gains. Especially the airport attack was hurting our economy. Something had to be done. So just like every other leader who came to power RW signed an agreement. I feel it was necessary at that time.
Now, everyone is in a position to criticize it since the situation has changed. We are at war and the CFA is limited to a piece of paper. But one thing puzzles me.
Why is the LTTE not capable of launching major attacks as they used to before the CFA? Why is the LTTE so weak? I mean they were chased out of East ,but they couldn't defend themselves. If LTTE managed to collect weapons during CFA why didn't they use them? If LTTE managed to smuggle weapons to Colombo during that time why are'nt they using them? Is it because of any diverse effect of CFA or Is it the way MR is handling the situation? |

Radaw,
Very pertinant questions were posed by you.
Yes, one should analyze why LTTE is not making major offensives?
Well, one has to admit whilst its difficult to think whats going on in the 'Think Tanks' of the LTTE, one could assume that with the CFA, LTTE also has realized the real War is fought outside the territorial bounderies of Sri Lanka , at the International Forum and could be playing to the IC. LTTE ,am sure has realized that they could achieve less through military means, unless they win over India & IC.
Overunning an isolated camp, as they did prior to the CFA is of no use to them now, but could be costly all round.
Unfortunately, in my opinion the Sri Lankan Govt is playing right in to their hands, vis-a-vis IC.
Very refreshing to read Capricon2, a well balanced realistic fair minded person! |

All,
Whether one likes to admit or not, the sole reason why we now face a relatively less rocky period for sometime now (since the last attacks in Varkarai) is the CFA.
BOTH PARTIES cannot go for a major attack without other part provoking them, because then the international community will blame the party that hit first.
Every treaty that had been reached in the world history had been critisised by extremists, so it is not a surprise some section dont like it.
Obviously the vampires who eagerly wait to suck every Tamil blood they can, CFA is the major barrier. So it is not a surprise that they critisise it.
For the rest of us, CFA is not 100% perfect, but because of that we have achieved so many things which we never could otherwise.
Even if we forget everything else saving 10,000 - 15,000 lives itself is enough achievements of the CFA.

Those who criticise CFA are doing so because it was proved to be so successful within a very short period of time and it ended the war so abruptly and the people went about doing their daily quite normal. The SLFP, JVP and JHU and the war mongers making money out of war did not like it at all because they feard that UNP will win all elections thereafter. They knew that UNP is much smarter than them. They went to town with different stories of 'country is being sold'. They also said that it was not peace that the people want but honorable peace(whatever it means). One should ask MR if it is honorable to invite the TNA to join the government knowing that they are LTTEers. Even CBK would have done the same thing if she was short of members in the parliament. But Ranil did not do that during his time. What a song and dance, the SLFP, JVP, JHU would have had if Ranil invited TNA to join his govt.
Now a question: with so many billions of money spent, so many deaths, so much inconvenience and so many missed opportunities, IS SL ANY BETTER THAN 3 YEARS AGO? |

Vamp4,
As far as I know the senior members per se do not enjoy any special type of immunity.
Kiyanna onee eka kiyala bella kapunath kapunath kamak naha kiyana jathiye minihak mama nathuwa Mr. Brown wa ho thawa kenekuwa tune karanna liyanne minihek nowei.
Well, I respect this attitude.
I do not agree with your views but I always believe that yours is a very important voice because you do not hide your true feelings like many other racists here do.
There are so many Sinhalese racists here (vice versa too) who says they do not have any problem with Tamils but have only problems with LTTE. You boldly admit that you have issues with Tamils and wish to see a land free from Tamils.
I will not agree, but I respect that honesty.
