It just sound so pathetic .. But that's what you guys are saying..


Gons,

No matter what's said and done, LTTE is a minnow, yet strong in it's own right..! They will be prepared to face a war the next day all the time..! That's just their survival mechanism..!

On the other hand RW was going well eroding their capability slowly but surely..! LTTE feared a person like RW more than MR..! What RW managed was that he was changing the minds of the Tamil people who are the back bone to LTTE..! Had he continued, LTTE would have been disadvantaged heavily..! That's why they didn't like him..!

If the southern masses aka king makers had been smart enough, they would have sent LTTE to oblivion by simply keeping RW, who would only talk amid peace, yet do nothing, but more than anything else change the mind of Tamil people..! They missed it..!!

Gon

It just means that during the CFA, all LTTE was doing was getting ready for war....


i wouldnt say that from the start of CFA they were getting ready for war

when 2002 came, Tamils expected changes, eg:
- displaced being resettled in areas they were evicted from
- developement of the Northeast, rebuilding, improving infrastructure
-equitable aid distribution, especially after Tsunami

when the gov failed to do these things, then you can say that LTTE was getting ready for war, especially after the failure of PTMOS, .

CFA violated noted down (eg. LTTE violated 3000 times and GOSL violated 300 times), is meaningless, since gov armed forces prevented about 300,000 Tamils returning to their native houses / villages. all these people can file complaints and then GOSL violations would be 300,000.

As always, It is an absolute delight to listen to what you say.

In your opinion, Where are we headed now ? If this war was unavoidable with either MR or with RW, then which scenario would have reduced the civilian casualties ?

From 'All the President s men'
- http://www.thebottomline.lk/2008/03/05/Politycle%20Coll.htm

Sajin Vaas Gunewardane: Coordinating Secretary to the President, CEO of Mihin Lanka, the government owned budget airline that has been making ridiculous losses since its inception. Sajin travels everywhere with the President, on state and personal visits abroad and is His Excellency s travel planner. He also makes decisions on who shall be on the presidential entourage and naturally, ensures that one of two decrepit aircraft can be chartered for the duration of the Presidential visit (abandoning all its paid passengers to codeshare flights). The government charter of the aircraft ensures that monies are transferred from one government fund to the other (in this case, from the Treasury to the Mihin Lanka account) while the budget airline meanwhile pays SriLankan Airlines to accommodate its paid passengers. Bad enough that Mihin Lanka is already in debt to SriLankan to the tune of millions of dollars and the national carrier has refused further credit to the budget carrier. It s a twisted system any way you look at it and screams economic mismanagement especially given the cash-strapped status of the budget airline not to mention the state coffers. CEO Sajin however, merrily allows Mihin Lanka aircraft to be used like an Air Force 1 .
