SL army commander is also not a fool, because he does not go to the front line and lives in Colombo in luxury!! All the big shots in the govt. of Sl are also not fools, because their children does not fight and they enjoy life abroad. eg. Mrs. B’s children, Chandrika’s children, Mahinda’s children!!

Govt. of Sl has killed Tamil civilians deliberately since the mid 50s up to now. So they are also not fools.

Majority of the Tamils do not want to be part of the Sl govt’s “DEMOCRAZY” of abduction, torture, killing, bombing,vote rigging, vote buying etc.etc. Sri Lanka is the only (smart)country which kills its own civilians by shelling, aerial bombing and mutibarrell launchers. Sri Lanka is the only (smart )country where its own citizens are driven out of their houses and forced to live in refugee camps for years under the guise of High Security Zone!!

Gayan has not realised that the SL govt. has not been able to dislodge the LTTE from the “jungles and Swamps” with their modern weaponry and with the support from various countries!!

Agree with you that LTTE specially their leadership is no “FOOLS” .Fools dont send women and children as suicide bombers .Fools would do it themselfs ! .

Fools also dont target civilians deliberatly .Foolish people wont send other people’s children to war while their’s anjoy peaceful lifes abroad .Foolish people would send their children to the frontlines insted of others.In short we can agree that LTTE is a proffesional terrorist organization

JVP did not servive because of their Religion race or cast. they servived because they shuned violance and embraced democracy. The same singaese/Bhiddists voted In 1994 where they won just one seat ! Coz people were sceptical of their history.Now they have over 30 seats in the parliament ! Whether their political moves are right or wrong is another matter.Thats the power of the ballot !

Meanwhile LTTE’s 25 years of bullet stratergy have them cornered into 2 districts in the north with most of the land is covered with jungles and swamps!

Nobody is fooling around here !

JVP is now alive and well because it is 100% sinhalese!! Do you think any movement composed of Tamils can come up to this level? The problem with the Tamils started soon after independence!! TMVP,Douglas, Karuna and others are there to do the dirty work for the sinhalese!! They will be thrown like a sucked orange after their usefulness become redundant. Is it the power of the ballot or “the power of Stuffing the ballot box” you are talking about. It is no secret Intimidation, abduction, bribing and stuffing the ballot box are the standard practice during electioins in Sri Lanka for several years now. Supreme court is in the hands of the ruling party! So there is no redress from the Suprem court either.

LTTE are NOT FOOLS to fall for the trap!!

“Justice” to seek vengeance is no Justice. Justice that is conditional is injustice or a favour.

Where is JVP now? they are the most powerful southen political party interms of its ability to dictate the path of the country headed .

Thats the power of the ballot .Others should take a que.

Can you hand over the innocent people killed by the IPKF, ALIVE and restore the HONOUR lost by the ladies of Tamil Ealam in the hands of the beastly IPKF? Don’t potray Rajiv Gandhi as a saint. The whole world knows what happened to the innocent seiks of Punjab soon after the killing of Indra Gandhi. What is the guarantee India will do justice to the Tamils!!

By Tamil Eelam, I presume you mean Tamil Nadu? That seems to be the more likely to beak away of the two.

The East will undergo a transformation that will prevent there ever needing to be another secessionist war. After 25 years of fighting, the people of the East will not be that keen to go back to war just because Racist Idealists like you dream it in foreign countries.

The UN will not be allowed on our soil, Kosovo was the exception, and not applicable to Sri Lanka.

As a mark of respect for Rajiv,the people of NE should handover VP and Pottu to India.Then,India will be obliged to commit to justice without prejudice.

Indo-Lanka Accord (ILA), signed more than 20 years ago, stipulated the merger of Northern and Eastern provinces as one unit and made it compulsory that the GOSL should hold a referendum in the East of the island, within one year of signing the accord.

The GOSL knew that the referendum would be in favour of the merger. So it deliberately decided not to hold a referendum but to merge North East (NE) by a presidential decree. By such inaction on referendum and action by a presidentail decree, the Northern and Eastern provinces were merged permanently for ever. India accepted this position and even the Ceasefire agreement signed in 2002, between the GOSL and the LTTE, witnessed by Norway and hailed by the International Community, recognised the merged North East Unit.

Suddenly, last year, in response to an application, a “drama” staged by southern politicos, the Supreme Court decided the merger of North East as unconstitutional. The judges were Sinhalese. A submission by the Tamil law makers was not accepted by the judges.

A “unilateral judiciary” with a unilateral judicial system to favour the Sinhalese; the reason why the Independent International Group of Eminent Persons (IIGEP) had to leave Sri Lanka (SL) and the presence of UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission is urgently needed in that island now.

The GOSL should have simply brought in a constitutional amendment in the legislature to merge the provinces of North and East. But violating the ILA, it wants to hold elections separately in the “Eastern Province”, though, NE held elections as one unit after ILA, had one Chief Minister and even one governor up until last year.

Not only the GOSL, the major political parties of the Sinhala nation are parading to participate in the illegal election process, instead of enacting a constitutional amendment for the merger. Sinhala nation has thus jointly decided to be unilateral and criminal to violate the accord.

The ILA is an international agreement signed by two countries governed by International law. The merger of NE is embodied in the ILA. Therefore, this matter comes within the jurisdiction of the International Court.

The ILA had sad eventualities with India, but before it was signed, the leaders of NE listed to the government of India, the past unilateral violations from the Sinhala nation and expressed fear of similar violations of the ILA. They were then firmly assured by Rajiv Gandhi that in case of such violation, India would support the creation of Tamil Eelam as the only unavoidable solution.

As a mark of respect for Rajiv Gandhi, the signatory of ILA, and his firm assurance to the people of NE, India is now obliged to commit to justice without prejudice.

The people of NE also have a separate case on this matter. In 1972, when the South went ahead with the unilateral declaration of republic, the people of NE, as one entity, voted to create Tamil Eelam.

A criminal is never allowed to remain as one for ever. It is bad for him, the others and humanity at large. A criminal nation that is not remorseful would exhibit criminality even after 20 years; if it is not brought to justice, punished and rehabilitated. This is a hard lesson the world would learn fom the present violation of ILA and the denial of the legitimate rights of the people of NE.

Don’t be too cocky!

Big brother is silently watching as he did in many other places. BB will roll in to action in due time. Don’t be fooled by his silence.

Their new mantra is that if two nations can’t live peacefully, then session is a valid and sound option. There are many examples from the recent past, and more to come. past –Kosovo; future –Kurdistan, Tamil Eelam!
