I'm back,, let me refresh the conversation,,
the SL forces are occupying the whole jaffna,, not just one or two camps as you put it,, the ltte is completely occupying the Vanni area,,
you said,,As long as LTTE hides behind innocent civilians
i replied,,is the SL forces also hiding behind the civilians in jaffna?? or are they occupying the people's settlements??
by going your logic, it must be our fault that we let your forces to occupy in the areas where lots of Tamil people live?? do not you think so??
if you apply the same logic in the ltte's case,,
it was the govt's fault on the first place to let the ltte grow strength to strength,, (who should occupy where or the question of legitimacy do not arise because the ltte is tamil and fighting for freedom)
now, you cant crush them without killing the innocent Tamil people,, so pull out the occupying forces kindly or come to table for a good compromise!!
if not agree with us, that the govt's and the sinhala people's intention is to kill the tamils in the name of killing the ltte,,
you said ,,If the forces are also hiding behind Tamil civilians in Jafna ( and hopefully in K'nochchi ) there would be no need for this aerial bombardment. They would be able to meet LTTE using LTTE's own rules of engagement thus minimizing the harm to the civilians.
I am sure the Forces do occupy land and/or buildings in the north as posts of camps. But the difference would be that when they do that, everyone ( the civilians and the LTTE ) know exactly where they are right? I don't think the Forces would just move into a tamil civilians house and ask them to cook for them and act as nothing is going on..
the Ariel bombardments takes place in Vanni not in jaffna,,there is no need to bomb jaffna likewise you do not need to bomb Colombo because there is less ltte,,
so,,I'm having trouble to understand your reply,, or is it a tactical twisting from the point??
