No need to ask from anybody. You told earlier that she was selling National Security.

pls go slow with Sinthaka papa...! I heard he has a weak heart!

Can you tell me again that did CBK too sell National Security when she was SL's president??

The Tamil diaspora, living in safe havens abroad, had no qualms about funding the humiliation, persecution and the decimation of the Tamils. It is their dollars that liquidated the entire Tamil leadership.

Blinded by the initial successes of Prabhakaran?s killing machine they raised him on a pedestal, worshipping him as their saviour. They overlooked every crime he committed ? particularly against the Tamils ? in the mistaken belief that he was commiting these crimes in the interests of the Tamils. They concocted excuses and/or covered up the war crime of plucking Tamil children from the arms of Tamil parents and feeding them as fodder to a futile war that has no future for the Tamils.

They must take full responsibility for arming the cruelest enemy of the Tamils who has killed more Tamils than all other forces put together. They encouraged Prabhakaran?s petty vindictiveness and violence against their own Tamil people by blaming the majority Sinhalese. They took cover by focusing on the mote in the eyes of the demonized Sinhalese and defended the beam in the Pol Potist regime.

Initially, they boasted that he gave dignity to the Tamils. Today they hang their heads in shame not only for leading the Tamils to death and destruction but also for denying the Tamil people the right to live without the dreaded fear that comes with a knock on the door demanding their children to serve in Prabhakaran?s dwindling army. They did not protest against the persecution of dissident Tamils tortured in concentration camps in the Vanni. Today the Tamils cannot go to Jaffna ? the heartland of Tamils ? though they roam freely in the vilified south. Today the Tamils have lost more than the military power: they have lost the moral power that sustained the Tamil diaspora in the post-1983 days.

Prabhakaran is solely responsible for undermining the earlier gains of the Tamils in the diaspora. He killed the goose that laid the golden egg for him abroad through his terror tactics. The diaspora cannot regain the lost propaganda initiative to save him now though they are making desperate attempts to manipulate the West through some misguided churchmen and left-wing politicians who are dependent on the Tamil vote banks. Except for the hard core who have a vested interests in oiling Prabhkaran's killing machine with dollars the disiluisoned Tamils are walking away from the political illusions that fired their imagination in the pre-Prabhkaran days.

Tragically for the Tamils in the diaspora, the goodwill they achieved for their cause was destroyed by the gross brutalities of Prabhakaran, who outdid the violent Sinhala mob in beating the Tamils into submission through sheer terror. The violence of the Sinhala mob was sporadic and spontaneous like the fizz of a soda bottle. Prabhakaran?s violence against the Tamil people, on the contrary, has been unrelenting, unceasing, beastly and organized methodically, under his supervision, in the so-called quasi state of Eelam to serve his unattainable political ends.

S. J. V. Chelvanayakam, the father of the Tamil separatist movement, would not have had a chance to breathe, or sponsor a separatist movement, if he remained with his father in Malaysia. Not only in professional terms, the Jaffna-centic politicians advanced to the heights they did because the democratic system gave them ample space to pursue their brand of mono-ethnic politics without endeavouring to co-exist harmoniously in a multi-cultural society.

The time for blaming is over. It is time for reconciliation. Tamils need a new leader for reconciliation because they have no future in following the leadership of the Vanni. The pragmatic Tamils are fully aware of it. But are the Tamils capable of producing a democratic personality that can save them from the horrors of the present and the future?

why ru repeating? that is the best you got papa! more like shivering to me..lolz

Well, An ex-SLFP President of Sri Lanka sold National Security then??.
