		<description>Dear Dayan,

Please read the Human Rights Watch&#039;s report on Sri lanka that was released today. 

This provides few cases of crimes committed against in Sri Lanka. The rest, Tamil people will come forward and  report to Intl War Crimes investigators and UN Human Rights investigators when they arrive in Sri Lanka.</description>

		<description>Dear Dr. Dayan

It is nice to write or refr all as a Sri lankan but neither the GOSL nor Sinhala hooligans never recognized the Tamils.

There is no Rule of Law and Tamils were treated worse than slaves by the GOSL and their armed forces. Even the Army who hit the Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi during a parade was not punished. French Charity workers were gunned down in the East and the GOSL has done nothing. There are several crimes already on file that will be investigated by the International community.

Why you and the GOSL resist to allow the War Crimes investigators, UN Human Rights Investigators and foreign diplomats and so on to investigate crimes committed in Sri Lanka?

Tamils are Tamils. Sinhalese are Sinhalese and they understand only violence, looting, rape and killing. Don&#039;t dream of reconciliation after all untold crimes committed against Tamils.

ICC must charge those diplomats and officials who hide crimes against humanity.  There is no comparison of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Kosovo with Eelam. Eelam is our homeland of Tamils and ruled by a Tamil King before the colonial rule. There is no history that any Sinhalese Kings ruled Eelam but Sinhalese areas were ruled by Indians including the last King of Kandy. 

The world knows about GOSL state terrorism, Sinhala and Buddhist clergy hooliganism. Thanks to technology and no one can hide all their crimes all the time. Sri Lanka is an Island of two nations. The occupying racist Sinhala regime days are numbered.</description>

		<description>Dear Dr Dayan Jayatilleke,

Refer to &quot; jayatilleka puts himself as a sri lankan sinhalese, but primarily a sri lankan, like douglas devananda is a sri lankan tamil but primarily a sri lankan ( as are anandasangaree, siddharthan, sugu, pillaiyan and karuna).&quot;

 If that is so, what is the meaning of the following acronyms and the political goals of these leaders and their parties :

 EPDP,PLOTE, TMVP,one man TULF ( sangaree), one MP  LSSP ( Prof Vitharane ), JVP with 30 over MPs, JHU with its MPs are part of GOSL. I mean  the  Mahinda regime.

On top of all these your pet theory and belief that  Sinhala Nation ( you may say Srilanka or Srilankan Sinhalese ) has existential necessacity and what ever the current regime doing according to Mahinda Chinthanaya is justifiable. This you do it very well from Geneva both from official capacity and unofficial or private capacity.

For me, the corollary of your existential theory is Tamils do not have such problem or Tamils do not have the right to such claims. Even if there is any devolution of power it must be at the mercy of the majority Sinhala Buddhist as it is their heritage and they are rightful owners of the Island  .

That is why increasingly more fair minded and moderate Tamils belief that  existential necessacity of both Sinhala nation and Tamil nation it is better go our own way and become good neighbours supporting and protecting each other so that all prosper within the Island.</description>

		<description>*** Sri Lankan Sinhalese &amp; Sri Lankan Tamil seems nice in writing…but in action no one seems to be practicing that, ***

LOL!  NO ONE is practising this?  Kiddo you smoke too much of the Good Stuff..

25 years the Sri Lankan government has been making amends to Tamils, but no matter what is done in Favor of Tamils will never be enough for you.  Typical of the  Ungrateful Racists and Communalists you Diaspora have become.  

Only the Tamil Diaspora Communalists refuse to call themselves Sri Lankan and make it work with the Majority of Moderate Sinhalese who all want to live in peace but Oh No!  You people point to the JHU and other Fringe Political groups and try to say that All Sinhalese are like them.....even though most Sri Lankans vote for UNP or SLFP.</description>

		<description>Dayan, I agree that Sri Lanka&#039;s future is within Asia,there is no need for you to quote archaic Marxist/Leninist theories to explain what you wish to express. 
I do not think you understand India or the Indians. In Tamil Nad all Tamils consider themselves first as Indians and then as Tamils. They study Hindi and English in addition to Tamil. India is a Federal multi Lingual state where great languages such as Telugu,Bengali,Tamil,Hindi and others prosper.
Indians are a very patriotic race,they fought for their Independence and made many sacrifices. From time to time there will be conflicts but on the whole they are a very united nation. 

In Sri Lanka there is a confusion as to the definition of a Sri Lankan.I am yet to come across a leader who will openly encourage the majority sinhalse to understand that Sri Lanka is a multi ethnic country and respect the minority aspiration.
There is no reason why MR cannot publish his devolution plan and win the whole hearted  support of all moderate Tamils.The way the Police and Army react towards Tamils in Colombo is a prime example of oppression in its most cynical form.
The countries which have made great economic progress in South Asia such as Malaysia,Singapore,Thailand are pro- western. India and China trade heavily with USA and Europe which is the main driver for their economy.
Dayan I really look forward to reading  your comments but please keep it simple and to the point.</description>

		<description>Dr. Dayan, Sri Lankan Sinhalese &amp; Sri Lankan Tamil seems nice in writing...but in action no one seems to be practicing that, incuding Mr. Ambassador. 

What, where and when is the Sri Lankan Identity took/taking/will take root?

You are putting cart before the horse.

A magnanimous gesture has to come from those who think they are the original inhabitants and then their magnanimity should stop imposing their will on others. Unfortunately you are among those who destroying Sri Lanka today. 

Magnanimity with regards to share power and rspect all humanity of their race, culture &amp; hertiage.

Welcome to Balkanization of Sri Lanka</description>

		<description>dear hipster, 

you obviously haven&#039;t heard of places like Vietnam, or iraq or afghanistan. the power of the U+EU+UN didn&#039;t do the trick against poor peasants, tribals etc. 

and you do know what happened to the last attempt to intervene in sri lanka...it has resulted in a lasting trauma...

and by the way, i am not a buddhist, i am a catholic.

Dear Indian tamil, 

 don&#039;t take india for fools, because i don&#039;t. they will help sri lanka more or less to the extent that sri lanka devolves. thus, no sri lankan govt can take more and give less.

Dear Dias, 

every day that passes there are fewer Tigers alive. and given the population balances plus the rates of ecruitment, every day that passes works in favout of the armed forces and against the LTTE. just lok at the eveidence: every day and year that hads passed has left the colombo govt in charge of part of the North and almost all of the east while the LTE has lost jaffna and the east.

Dear M Thiru, 

jayatilleka puts himself as a sri lankan sinhalese, but primarily a sri lankan, like douglas devananda is a sri lankan tamil but primarily a sri lankan ( as are anandasangaree, siddharthan, sugu, pillaiyan and karuna).</description>

		<description>Why do I get the feeling that I have read similar things in the History books before? Even though the isle is not an empire, the events taking place since idependence has uncaany similarities with the happenings preceding to the FALL OF ROMAN EMPIRE! Even the characters, the northern barbarians, poisoning the Caesar (yet to materialize) and the ultimate pestillence and division of the empire are very similar. De&#039; ja&#039;vu?</description>
