		<description>Thamarai (comment # 35)

I challenge you to prove that these military hardwares are insured. The US Twin Towers caused billions of damage which was not significant as the government of United States can quickly pump in cash from their tax payers (beside the twin tower is a real-estate not a military hardware). Compared to the damage of Twin Tower these military hardware’s are worth pennies which the government of Sri Lanka can only scrap the treasury department and hope that they can cover the damage.

Your lack of knowledge and common sense to differentiate the Twin Tower and Military Hardware is a contribution to the on going conflict in the Island.

With people like you in Sri Lanka, there will never be peace. Oh! Please do no use the name Thamarai, it is a genuine and a beautiful Tamil name. I don’t care if you are Tamil or not; but your stupidity being presented under a beautiful name like Thamarai is just plain sadness to me.</description>

		<description>These contributors are all talking rubbish.
The fact remains the country has lost 35 of its precious wealth.
What is Prabakaran &amp; his hooters do? Contribute to this erosion without downing arms &amp; being sincere about peace.
54% of the 5% of tamils living in SL are living in the south of the country. They have no problem, They have wealth, jobs engaged in business and schooling. 
Attending weddings, partying &amp; funerals?
P.Nadesan is married to a Sinhala woman from Matara and exists peacefully. 
What is the problem Prabakaran &amp; the ltte hooters have in promoting bloodshed?
Are the overseas diaspora using ltte as a vehicle for their personal gains by throwing fistfull of dollars at them????</description>

		<description>Hi Yaji (reply 27), 
you are wrong my dear. Military items are not bought over the counter paying cash. It is on credit and no lender will be giving these items without an insurance. Of course, on a high premium payment. 

Even otherwise, the govt property is no man&#039;s property. It is not  a personal loss to any person to feel the loss. When the US twin towers were destroyed, were the citizens of US suffered any personal loss because of the property damage. 

the real loss is the human loss and the loss of pride. These losses cannot be reimbursed. So, it is a loss to the LTTE at the end be&#039;cos they have a big ego problem.</description>

As someone else mentioned earlier, military assets are not insurable.  Even if they are, have you heard of a concept called insurance premiums?  These tend to sky rocket when you become a high risk insuree.  By now, Llodys of London must have recovered every thing they lost during the Colombo Airport attack by slapping huge premiums on SL govt and other parties doing business in SL and will certainly make sure that they pass on the cost they incurred in SL.  In fact, immediately after the Colombo Airport attack, the insurance premiums for all the ships that docked in Colombo were raised by 20%.  This meant that all the imported goods became expensive by almost 5-10% since transportation cost is a significant cost for imported items.  All these were factors in Sri Lanka hitting recession in 2001, the year before the ceasefire.  

It is the sheer stupidity of people like yourselves (among both Sinhalese &amp; Tamils) that is prolonging this bloody war.  Why don&#039;t you come out of the weeds and look at the big picture for once.  Instead of figuring out who is killing more on the other side, why don&#039;t you worry about all the lost opportunities of economic development and prosperity over the last 30 years.  We are already the Brazil of Asia (lots of potential but always disappointing) but soon we will become the Bangladesh of Asia (the eternal basket case).  Like the Malaysians, Thais and Indonesians did with the Chinese, the Sinhalese would have been better off letting their minority communities (Tamils &amp; Muslims) to thrive.  If you look at any country, the minorities always somehow find a way to thrive against all odds.   The minority complex in them make them drive harder than the majority.  If Sri Lanka had allowed this, the tamils and muslims would have only contributed towards expanding the economy, education, trade, etc. (Like the Chinese did in Southeast Asia) and the whole Sri Lanka would have been better.  The pie would have got bigger and everyone would have gained.  Instead, see what we have done to our country.  Even now, the Sinhalese have so much more to lose than the Tamils, who have nothing really left to lose, by prolonging the war.  To borrow a famous phrase from Colvin R De Silva, &quot;if you want one country, have two languages.  If you want one language, then you will get two countries&quot;.  Banda chose one language and we ended up with a hell hole!</description>

		<description>Dear Sangiliyan,

How very romantic are your comments..

How would you like to loose your whole terrorist organisation in 20 min&#039;s? (an attack that would unlesh hell on earth, which is quite possible to do, since the ltte has lil pin dicks fighting for uncle P)

Stop the crap. Get back to the negotiation table. If not you will loose what ever chance you had. Im not talking abt tamils here. (Im sure once terrorism is put to an end a sonlution will come) Im talking abt your fascist &quot;leader&quot;. But i guess he chooses deception as a tactic or maybe a stratergy even, to try n become i dunno.... king?

&quot;He who is dumb enuf to goto war with sri lanka with a tooth pick as a weapon gets it poked up his arse.. &quot; - you should make that a proverb you asswipe.</description>

		<description>As a Tamil I should be elated by the actions and their ability. But as a Sri Lankan I feel sorry. Then again do the Tigers have an alternative? They will have to do whatever they can to de-stabilize the majority government. Even the mojority opposition is trying to do that. The problem is the current govt. is not a majority one, but one that manged to hold on to power with various tricks including one with the so called deal with the LTTE, eventhough Selvan has made a futile attempt to deny such a deal. Waht I appreciate in Selvan&#039;s statement is that he has not totally rejectected this. He has said that they have not been &#039;directly involved&#039; in the transactions which is better than most of the statements made by the Govt.  and its cronies. To that extent they are honest, but the fact remains that they have sold the Tamils lock, stock and barrel. It cannot be equated with with MR and family or RW and his followers for they have  been put, willingly or not, into a position they cannot go back on their racial mandate.

The JVP is a lost cause. JHU has no right to be there even by the harcore Sinhala Budhist Standards. They hove a few heads for the purpose of counting in parliament - tjhat is all.</description>
