TNTamil,

Reiterate that Sri Lanka's case has no relevance to examples Haiti or N. Korea. This is Sri Lanka with 18% population demanding a non-existent separate state from a majority of 73%. Even if it did, then why aren't the IC demanding a separate state called Eelam from the SL govt?.....simply because there is no basis for separation, unlike the countries you claimed as examples. If there was justification for Eelam, then the foreign govt's would have yelled blue murder long time ago and there would have been a separate state by now..


IC is not allowed to ask for a separate state because it is bound by the principle of territorial integrity. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territorial_integrity

In the above referenced article on Territorial Integrity, there is a reference to 'Humanitarian Intervention':

'In recent years there has been tension between this principle and the concept of humanitarian intervention under Article 73.b of the United Nations Charter 'to develop self-government, to take due account of the political aspirations of the peoples, and to assist them in the progressive development of their free political institutions, according to the particular circumstances of each territory and its peoples and their varying stages of advancement' Territorial integrity and humanitarian intervention collided in the Kosovo War.'

In SL, humanitarian interention may eventually occur and the current president is the best catalyst for that in the current situation. Unfortunately, Tamils are undergoing extereme hardship under the current president, but this might get the principle of humanitarian intervention to trump Territorial integrity.

Now that you've mentioned it, look what separation has done to these countries..Haiti, N. Korean. On the brink of starvation. That's that separatism does for you.


My personal prediction is that Eelam and Sri Lanka will be like Singapore and Malaysia.

Based on your argument you have no hindrance to ask some land from England, Canada, Tamil Nadu, Fiji or Malaysia , where Tamils have been living for a long time.

The tragedy is, that there wouldn't be anybody/ country, including Sri Lanka to accommodate an unjust request of a unworthy bunch of crooks and murderers, who consider SL as not their own, and in the process simply making themselves a group of invaders/ outlaws trying to grab land that they have no legitimate claim for having only for themselves!

But in reality Tamils have been living all over SL, even at present, and the idiots like you and others who support a cause which has no valid grounds, alienate yourselves from your own land, that is the entire SL, and become refugees at your own wish!

You have no right what so ever to cry for those self-proclaimed refugees on hunger strike because all of you directly or indirectly have contributed to drag them into that situation!


How can one explain this best other than idiocy?

You seem to be having a short memory TNT. When current president took office he was provoked many times to start a war by LTTE. He didn't start any offensives until LTTE attempted to take army chief's life and the Mavil Aru saga...
If sl tamils have suffered they have suffered more under Praba than anybody else...
If you fail to 'see' that there's nothing this government or anybody else can do for you.

If Sri Lanka find Oil, there would be 'humanitarion' intervention. Otherwise, forget the idea man.

GOSL is successfully painting a AiQueida picture of Velu all over the world. No foreign country will come in to rescue Tamils as far as Velu is alive :)

You can also strip and tie yourself to a post in sympathy

I don't think Tamils in any of the countries are demanding/have demanded a separate country (except in TN, but that issue is frozen) - so that does indicate there is something different about SL. This is not a simple issue, but most of the assumptions made in this forum as the reasons for denying Tamils a separate country on the Island are incorrect. Eelam isn't going to be born by begging or cursing in these forumm. I am just interested in displelling some common myths primarily related to a Tamil state's lack of a right to exist.

The tragedy is, that there wouldn't be anybody/ country, including Sri Lanka to accommodate an unjust request of a unworthy bunch of crooks and murderers, who consider SL as not their own, and in the process simply making themselves a group of invaders/ outlaws trying to grab land that they have no legitimate claim for having only for themselves!

Time will tell whether Eelam will come into being, but the right for Eelam to exist is justified in more than one way.

Obviously you dont have much knowledge about the geography of SL and the distribution of its people.
