Whatreallyhap,
Your quote below shows that you need serious therapy to bring you back from ancient barberism, fascism and racism.
'If LTTE were blood thursty it could have massaccered the sinhala people in droves when it has the chance. It did not.( chances were and still are) but as things develop it looks like a good Idea to got for Max . human damage. ( Sinhala scum )'
As many aware LTTE ethinically cleansed more than four hundred thousand non-Tamils from the North and East of the country through mass massacres.
Sri Lanka has no ethnic issue, but a corruption issue that has lead to poverty. LTTE fuelled by the Churches exploit poverty through barberic acts. Poor Hindu Tamils get killed day by day being forcibly recruited in LTTE machine.
Many Tamils in the North and East have no future, because LTTE has hijacked that right. If someone opposes LTTE's denial of human rights to own Tamil people, they get brutally killed (if only a Hindu). If that person is a Catholic or Christian, the life is spared, but seriousely punished. Many Jaffna Tamils know about that.
I am glad that much of the Eastern Tamils are at least out of reach of LTTE now. Hope Karuna would let them live peacefully and give them opportunities to strengthen their lives and education. |

Whatreallyhap.
are you out of your mind. LTTE didnt / doesn kill civilians??? You are surely OUT OF your mind.
LTTE is the reall brutal killer. Pls dont let me to tell you agian the long list of bomb balsts they have done and very long list of just civilains they have killed.
Old story for you LTTE killers was that if LTTE blows up any bomb or suicid bomb in COlombo or anywhere in Sri Lanka, thats bcoz SAL hit your camps or your cardres and you want to ' retaliate' or revange and thats why you blow up bombs or send suicide mobms.
Now its changed.. as per lTTE, every bus bomb is carried out by GOSL?? very funny... What a pathetic situ of yours. Your so much bankrupt of bull-lies???
So whats your next claim? |

Prabhakaran needs violence, says Rev. Fr. Henry Miller
COLOMBO: Proud and inflexible, Prabhakaran needs the violence - or he risks irrelevancy, Father Benjamin Henry ?Harry? Miller, 81, a Catholic priest who arrived in Sri Lanka in 1948 and works at a Jesuit School in Batticaloa told Time magazine.
?You will not change his mind,? says Miler. ?You can only stop his mind,? he is quoted as saying in Time?s latest issue. |

'In Sri Lanka, only a negotiated solution can put an end to the conflict that causes so much bloodshed,' Pope Benedict said.
Absolutely right! |

ICC rejects Sri Lanka claims
Sri Lanka says the campaign affects the morale of the national cricket team
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has rejected media reports that it has given certain assurances to Sri Lanka over a campaign by a human rights watchdog.
The ICC Communications Officer told BBC Sinhala that the world cricket governing body is 'not involved' in the ongoing battle between the Sri Lanka government and the Amnesty International (AI).
'This is a matter between Amnesty International and the Sri Lankan government and as such, we are not involved,' James Fitzgerald said in an email message.
The AI has launched 'Play by the Rules' campaign to coincide with Cricket World Cup to focus on Sri Lanka's human rights violations.
The campaign called on both parties as well as other militant groups in Sri Lanka to take steps to prevent civilians caught between as violence intensifies.

ICC Communications Officer
Sri Lanka government has protested to the ICC as well as the AI saying the timing might undermine the morale of the Sri Lanka team playing in Super 8 round currently in the Caribbean.
The government was pledged to 'stop' the AI campaign by the ICC after the issue was raised, according to Sunday Times.
ICC has 'no authority'
But the ICC says it is determined to focus on the World Cup but nothing else.
AI calls on both parties to invite human rights monitors to protect civilians
'We do not intend to let matches be politicised but equally we cannot stop lawful demonstrations if they are outside the ground and therefore out of our jurisdiction,' James Fitzgerald told BBC Sandeshaya in an email message.
The AI meanwhile stressed that the campaign is not aimed at Sri Lanka cricket team.
AI campaign manager Robert Godden told bbcsinhala.com that it has nothing to do with the Sri Lanka team or West Indies.
The campaign was launched in Australia, Bahamas, Bermuda, India, Nepal and UK to sign white cricket balls urging the parties to invite independent human rights monitors.
Internal politics
The signed balls will be delivered to the Government as well as the LTTE, AI said in a statement.
The world cricket governing body is not interested in internal politics of any member country says the ICC.
'Our focus is very much on cricket at this time, not the internal politics of any of our members. Our priority remains the development of the game around the world through the staging of a successful World Cup,' ICC Communication Officer said.
James Fitzgerald refused to comment on whether the campaign would affect the moral of the Sri Lankan players or final result of the Cricket World Cup.
