India backstabbed tigers and SL Tamils.India is dumb and not as clever,smart as CIA and western leaders.India 99%responsible for the failure.Balcanisation of India is imminent.Tigers will create EELAM with the help of western leaders and UN.

I agree with your assesment that the external forces and their own interests was the biggest factor of so called kosovo “independence” .But I have reservations on the future of so called “Kosovo” with vast majority of countries already rejected it (only 22 nations -mostly NATO-out of 200 + countries have recorgnised it ) and the “independence “will never be legitamate without UN security council approval like Israel or east timor.

Also agree on that the remerging cold war between the west and Russia was the biggest factor in “Kosovo” and USA wants to encircle russia with a missile system ( i dont call it missile “sheild ” coz i believe its a pre-emptive offensive system and USA “bargaing tool” with russia on Iran)

The biggest oppotunity Ealamists/sepretists had was in 1987 when India,again based on their own agenda intervined in SL (with the cold war at its peak and India’s fore at that time USA fighting for a foothole in SL)but thanks to Prabakaran (an unlikely hero) put an end to that and since India’s stance and world politics have changed.

I believe many international players tried and is still trying to inject “kosovo” fornmula to SL like the R2P.So people and leaders of SL should be vigilent to these attempts mainly via NGO’s and INGOs

But with sound international/regeonal backing by China/India/Pakistan /USA/russia/Middle eastern/African ( members of Non allied movement) Sri Lanka had nothing to worry in the first place.

Lastly and thankfully the LTTE themself by its conduct and history has put a big round FULLSTOP for any form of seperation of Sri Lanka

Most of them are the SAME tamils who Voted for EELAM knowing fully well that means WAR. and WHen the WAR came ALL those TAMILS are the first to FLEE leaving behind ltte, eprlf etc. How can they critise right now?

Another question: During the Indo-lanka accord, How did India behave with Tigers? Is it similar to Western leader’s behaviour with KLA?

I msut say India was more than 50 % responsible for the Failure. India tried to back stab the Tigers and IPKF leaders are openly admitting it. This does not happen in Kosovo. CIA was clever and the western leaders were clever and smart and handled the KLA without doing things at their back.

There are so many countries dying to become EU and Nato members. Presence of NATO means STABILITY—> PROSPERITY

NATO PLS come and Prevent the SInhala Genocide against us. If we are eliminated SIngalas will be free to ally 100 % with their traditional allies(CHina-Pakistan-IRAN) and NATO countries will lose a strategic Place to CHina. China is the biggest threat to democracy.

We are fully capable of handling the future implications may or may not arise. So please don’t worry about it.

There is a Tamil saying that “predator the wolf is getting worried about that it’s prey goat is getting wet”.

i think that, india is important to solve the tamil national question because it is the reginal super power in south asia. without her help other international community won’t do much help. so via tamil nadu we have to cultivate the indian support to solve the tamil national question.

Your fine article makes me suspicious of international humanitarian interventions. I will oppose R2P in future
