Who kills Tamils because they are Tamils?

But some Tamils get killed because they are terrorists who kill not only innocent Sinhalese but also Tamils!

TNTamil,

Re Quebec, you may have a point there. However, I am not sure whether this is still applicable for Sri Lanka, as the laws are bound to be different. As far as I how, provinces can be merged or de-merged, BUT, it cannot separate from a sovereign country without the vote of the rest of the provinces. Would anybody from the forum kindly clarify?

Can you give this forum one example where territorial referendum had led to a seperate state? Quebec?

People like you who are not affected by this kind of conflicts directly, either because you are not in the site of conflict or you are not bothered what happens to a majority of people but your ownself and may be your family (like VP and the rest of the gang of crooks!) can argue to any lengths that a separate state will bring peace, but sensible people on ground who face the song , thank God, are more prudent than you idiots and will never vote for a separate state for the obvious reason of its unsustainability!

The lankan establishment kills Tamils because they are Tamils. Why is a civilian population bombed by its own government?

Can you list out the countries that have carried out aerial bombardment of its own citizens? If Lanka is not waging war on a neighboring state and this is a law and order situation and you are after Prabhakaran, send your police force to get him.

If you can't get him, you either

a) declare Eelam and then declare war on it and do what you are doing now or
b) lift the embargo, blockade etc. and let the Tamil civilians go on with their lives and wait for the opportune momemt to get Prabhakaran.

You can't call them SL citizens and bomb them and wage war on them in the name of going after Prabhakaran.

Govt does NOT kill Tamils. Rather, it's kills terrorist. Your slogan is commonly used overseas to gain sympathy from naive govts. But as you can see from todays article, its not biting now.

Sweetlady, pal:

Tell your Big Boss to stop his nonsense, then SLF too will cooperate.


Look, pal, VP started all these after Tamils ran out of options.... at least, you see, there had been no repeat of 1983, thanks to VP...

If SLAF stop dropping bombs, SLA quit firing wantonly, VP will take care of the NE... GOSL can save all the defense money, which now, if everything adds up, amounts 25% of the state budget!

East Timor is the one that I can remember. I can try to look for more. Referendum is the most civilized form of deciding whether an aspring people/group/nation get their own country.

Imagine the bloodshed that could have been averted if the SL constitution had a provision for referendum in the North and East (or for India to do the same in Punjab and Kashmir). The truth is that western countries like Canada have progressed/civilized to the extent of implementing territorial referendums, but SL is still in the dark ages and testing the 'might is right' rule.

To answer your doubts about stability of newly created entities:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_integrity

Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein, speaking to the International Institute for Strategic Studies on 25 January 2001, argued for a more flexible approach to territorial integrity, in line with historical norms, saying: Let us accept the fact that states have lifecycles similar to those of human beings who created them. Hardly any Member State of the United Nations has existed within its present borders for longer than five generations. The attempt to freeze human evolution has in the past been a futile undertaking and has probably brought about more violence than if such a process had been controlled peacefully. Restrictions on self-determination threaten not only democracy itself but the state which seeks its legitimation in democracy.
