Singham from United Kingdom on May 24, 2007 20:48:55 GMT
Gordon Brown says that he will follow the path of peace and reconciliation like his father who was a priest. Hope Gordon will live up to his statements and be fair rather than look for the political advantages.
According to that statement it could go either way. Who knows mate.

Army should have started clearing the LTTE terrorists from Kilinochchi, Vavunia and Mulltive, and not from the East.
SL Army should have drive the terrorists to Thoppigala from Kilinochchi, Vavunia, and Mullative.
Next battle would be an urban battle, that will creat many displacements of innocent civilians.
BTW, UK sending Tamils to Sri Lanka - if actually the Brits have made such threat, they should be ashamed of themselves.
2. It is not practical either.. that may be British Punnakku. |

Vishwa:
But on the other hand GOSL, is a democratically elected Gov. they can't do that period. One single killing by a democratically elected Gov is bad than a 1000 murders by a Terrorist group.
I agree, but when there are others who take up arms and go against a democratically elected government what else are the going to do?
Both parties did not want peace.
Because both parties have their own agenda. The GoSL heads, want the vote, LTTE no clue but there's something fishy there too, they too killed their own ppl, anyone who goes against the wishes of VP.
True and LTTEers are quite successful projecting it as the price has to be paid to get the liberation.
Still majority of the tamils support LTTE at this point. Including colombo tamils.
But they just want LTTE to get the liberation and get out.
Price has to be paid indeed, through sympathy enough sympathy to make the sinhalese chauvinists stomachs get sick and change their minds about what they are doing, like the many moderate sinhalese got sick and felt for tamils and their problems also like the moderate tamils who feel sick and know that the LTTE has a sinister plan in all this not really about tamil liberation. Not all Colombo tamils support the LTTE, I know this very well.
Also do you really think that VP will make and eelam and just hand it over for tamils and go on his way? He's a born killer and I doubt he cares about tamils as a whole.
No not really necessary and it is most of the time a failed process to get the liberation.
To get the liberation through a non-violent way really worked for the countries to liberate themselves from colonial powers, but not within a country seperated based on ethnicity and one group is majority and the other is minority. Where ever in the world it did not work.
Where in the world has peace popped up through violent means of acquiring it?
You don't get support by fighting non violently but you get sympathy. No body going to look at you and your problems.
See for an example Tamil leaders were fighting non-violently for more than 35 yrs. No body did not know what is going on here.
That's true, it's bloody hard work. But why did they stop? Or should the question be who stopped them, those who gain an ethnic divide, like certain people in the GoSL and the LTTE?
World support is not based on who is right and who is correct. or who is terrorist and who is Gov.
In todays world that decides their support is what they can have by supporting who.
Unfortunately right now very true, but have some hope, doing the right thing means doing it because it's is the right thing to do and eventually this is what brings about everything good (it's hard guess why?), anything else is wrong and won't make things better.
till all the countries says that the reason LTTE fights for is correct. there is no IC ever questioned it. But the way they fight is the questionable one.
Indeed questionable, and just adding to the misery IMHO. |

Proud Sri Lankan soldiers are on trial
Court fixes inquiry into Mirusuvil massacre case
TamilNet, Wednesday, 27 June 2007, 17:12 GMT
The Colombo High Court Monday fixed the Trial-at-Bar inquiry into the Mirusuvil massacre case commencing from October 29. The sitting will be conducted daily till the completion of the inquiry, said Judge Upali Abeyaratne, Chairman of the three-member bench. The other two judges are Deepali Wijesundara and Sunil Rajapakse, legal sources said.
The court further said that the inquiry into the case had been put off for various reasons in past. But no such postponement would be allowed in future once the inquiry commences on October 29.
The Attorney General has indicted five soldiers of the Sri Lanka Army (SLA), Sunil Ratnayake, Wedegedera Senath Munasinghe, Tennekone Jayaratne, Subasinghe Appuhamige Pushpasamankumara and Gamini Munasinghe with the murder of eight Tamil civilians, Gnanapalan Ravichandran, Sellamuthu Theivakulasingham, Visvarajah Pratheepan, Sinniah Visvarasa, Nadesu Jeyachchandran, Kathiran Gnanachchandran, Gnanachandran Shanthan and Visvarajah Prasath and attempted murder of Ponnuthurai Maheswaran.
The civilians were murdered while they were visiting to inspect their abandoned houses in Mirusuvil in Thenmaraadchchi division in Jaffna district in December 2000.

I am not surprised Thoppigala and the entire East is falling to GOSL. This was apparent months ago. What is surprising is how long its taking GOSL to complete the operation. You would think that with the intelligence provided by Karuna and company, the operation would have lasted no longer than a few months.
Anyway, I don't consider this a real victory for GOSL. It could even be a mistake. It would have been better to clear the North first, then attack the East from two sides - basically squish the LTTE in. Also, what about control of the seas? Again, capturing the North first would have given GOSL nearly full control of the sea.
Any advance into the Wanni will require a heavy expenditure of manpower... you have these troops bogged down guarding the East - again, this goes to show you why a northern advance before an Eastern one has its advantages.
