		<description>DBS,
Excellent article on LTTE again. I have been following Tigers articles since I was 15 years old. I read Front Line regularly for it. Your other excellent article was about &quot;Col. Theepan&#039;s &quot; sacrifice.
As a North Indian Hindu, it was extremely difficult for me to understand how and why Tigers would kill IPKF soldiers. And on top of that, the LTTE created propaganda material about it. Even as a kid I had sympathy for LTTE because Sinhala were unjust. 
I wanted Tigers to go not because they killed Rajiv Gandhi, but because they needlessly killed so many IPKF soldiers. I blame ineptitude of Rajiv Gandhi for those deaths.</description>

		<description>I found very interesting approach in Canada, UK, USA,France and other EU countries when it comes to the LTTE.
All these countries  banned the LTTE as brutal Terrorist gang. But till hidden LTTE diaspora with Ltte flags and VP&#039;s posters were on the road they realize the value of tamil vots. That is the very reason they want to save LTTE and VP.
Fortunately now LTTE and VP is history. They don&#039;t have to worry about LTTE vots . 
Long live west on blood of poor countries</description>

		<description>Hi DBS

i am born to a SL Buddhist family and welcome your thoughts and comments. 

it is sad to see extremists from both sides attacking you as you have a very balanced view. 

you are right: the silent, balanced majority agrees that this is a great opportunity for the leadership to set in motion a programme which addresses the issues and aspirations of everyone. it is a must. 

i think why extremists are angry is that they see that their fake dream has been trashed. it will never happen. those who talk big for the tigers tend to be in foreign countries. they would not dare come and fight! they can&#039;t be taken seriously. they are akin to islamic fundamentalists - follow in blind faith. 

i&#039;m sure you know that we do appreciate your kind of thinking and wanting of integration and success for all, as quite frankly, SL is going to be one stunning hub in the region. 

keep up the good work.</description>

		<description>As true human beings we must not take one party and blame the other.We must listen to our own heart and conciousness,leaving all the coloured glazes on our eyes.

 There are only two types of people in this world. People who need wars to feed themselves and People who become victims for them.some countries become life long victim for some  other countries.

I ASK ALL THE CULTURES . BEING INNOCENT WHY WE SHOULD BECOME VICTIMS FOR THEM.
And kill our own future.we have given   A BEAUTIFUL THING called brain by the God.

we can use the path of distruction or 
the path of peace  to live happy

I wander who think  of changing the dedication of suisider   to the path of development of this motherland.Such a dedication ,such a vigor.such an ego must dedicate to the development of this beauti ful mother land.
 
OK we dont  believe in politics .because its based on power .it&#039;s UNSTABLE.Then we must find a way to rehabilitate this politics in to the better path wich serve all the cultures.

I TELL ALL THE YOUTH   hear after , we must not take arms to solve problem  it brings nothig .it brings  mass of corpse  to the local and international canibles who  are awaighting to feed and survive on them .

If we dont like this politics we get to gether and change it and make it our own.

if we dont like this education we change it toa creative stream

if we dont like the curruption and waste we trap it  and kill it .

if we dont like this constitution we change it amend it with our collective brain.

if we get to gether as true human beings(tamil sinhalese,and muslims) we can do all these things without arms .

I  feel  WE MUST BE TRULY  INTELLIGENT(not cardboard superstars in political stages) to rebuilt this nation.we must throw away  these cardboard superstars from the stage.

I like ,if a tamil (intellect)person become a education ministor of this country.(ALL THE POLITICIAN MUST BE INTELLECT,DEDICATE  AND LOVE THIS COUNTRY)

I like to see special section  to be appeared on the ACT OF women  &amp; child protection for TAMIL&amp; MUSLIM WOMEN

(Plese parden me about using these words of Tamil,Muslims.etc.-THEY ALL ARE SRI LANKAN)

I feel  all the people must learn TAMIL LANGUAGE.
&amp;MUST have insight of their cultures

BELIEVE THERE ARE Sihalese  here  think like that who doesnt  believe on politics.

I  REQUEST  all the enlighten HUMAN DESCENDANTS (OF , God Allah,Lord Buddha ,Jesus,ALL Hindu GodS)
we must get togather and dedicate our wisdom to rebuilt this nation.</description>

		<description>Absolutely insightful.

It was a similar thrust by LTTE apologetics and thier propogandists that first enabled prabakan go uncriticised in his course of disaster, right from the wiping out of fellow liberation leaders and outfits, alienation of India and its millitary that was percieved as &#039;alien&#039;, justifying every outrageous act that could easily have been seen by any as no different from that of a culthead or a ganglord. 
Its sad that inspite of the havoc and calamity that had been caused and had befallen them, that the diaspora must not sit back for a moment and introspect.
The LTTE is more like the Nazi party.</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeyaraj, you said that &#8220;Sadly, the younger generation of the Tamil diaspora is being politicised and radicalised for an unworthy and unwinnable cause. Moreover, the demonstrators’ open identification with the LTTE had rendered the campaign ineffective with no scope for success. It is indeed pathetic to see the passionate idealism of youth being diverted and sidetracked into a dead end.&#8221; This is true.</p>
<p>The overarching issue here is one megalomaeniac is dictating how other people should behave &#8211; Prabha&#8217;s pessimism of considering the tamils being discriminated, but the reality is the British has discriminated the Singhalese and also remember the West prefer this war continued because LTTE has to by weapons produced by the West. So, selling weapons to LTTE means profit margins by selling amminition, artillary and weapons increases.</p>
<p>You also said the perceptions of the Tamils, &#8220;depicting all Sinhala people as the enemy. There are many liberal and/or left &#8211; leaning Sinhalese who would join in demonstrations to protest the killing of innocent civilians by both sides. But the tiger dimension naturally repels such people&#8221; That is also true.</p>
<p>Its a very rich story reflecting reality. The British discriminated Singhalese tactically by appointing all high ranking government officers from Tamil Minotity group and created a division which they expected to continue, but would they do that in their own country? The more the division between Tamils and Singhales continue and the LTTE gets stronger, the British is benefitted in a number of ways, but the prime deal is improving business of selling arms and that&#8217;s where Milliband comes into the scene.</p>
<p>Remember the British &#8211; whwre ever they went, they messed it up &#8211; BBC is banned in a number of British colonies in the world &#8211; With utmost respect, I would say, Colonial Master, Sir &#8211; back off from all colonial anarchy and concentrate on your corruptions, e.g. financial mess, MP&#8217;s extraordinary expenses from tax payers money&#8230;. list continues</p>
