Subra’s next job is to invent that Anti-Gravity Super-Duper Nuclear Bomb and then drop it on the Sinhalese. He’s already got a work bench ready for the invention on the factory floor of his highly successful business. All he now needs it the Invention. (With apologies to Ibsen’s Wild Duck)

But seriously, I have observed this guy’s delusions worsening everytime I read his posts. Its time one of you Canadians drag him to a therapist or he might hurt himself jumping out of a window thinking he is Superman.

Compare the days of the 1956 when the tamils conducting a peaceful protest (Satyagraha) against the racist policy of Bandaranyake regime were taking cover from the thugs setupon by the then GOSL , are fighting a full fledged army,Navy and Airforce of the GOSL today. This cannot be achieved by a bunch of thugs as claimed ,but you need brains ,vision and courage. Stop blaming everybody else except the successive Sinhala regimes racist policies which has braught the present state of affairs. If you had the opportunity to see the consequences of the so called the riots (genocide) of the 1958,1971,1977,1981 and the 1983 will not deny the fact that the tamils were driven to the walls. Look at the present day where people are abducted, busedout of Colombo,deadbodies thrown at various places of the country,arbitarily arrested just for the simple reason they are TAMILS nothing else. Listen to what the Prime Minister of Srilanka has to say about the Tamils.

He brands every tamil as a terrorist when he said that they are the only govt.providing food for the terrorist who are filghting the Armed forces.What clearer statement you want show how the Sinhala regimes treat the Tamils. Do you know why the BUDHIST MONK in Batticaloa has started a FAST UNTO DEATH protest? He tried to be a just and a genuine BUDHIST. But he is branded as a supporter of the LTTE by no other than the JHU(thugs).Also do you know when one of the international reporters asked Pirabaharan who his best recruiting agent,pat came the answer the Srilankan armed forces. So it was a case of wrong after wrong continuing to this day.Even the just people trying to do the right are branded as terrorists or LTTE. REmember what Dr.Colvin R de silva once said, one language two nations two languages one nation.Also remember there are lots of Monkies waiting to solve the fight of the cats over the bread.

Actually I don’t care about Kosovo, the KLA, or the Kosvars, nor do I care about Serbia. I would not know a Serbian or an Albanian if I were pissing on one. No Tamil either cares who or what is a Kosovar, Albanian, or a Serb… That is not the point. Tamils have suddenly vocalized their support for Kosovo because it is hopefully the example and angle that they hope to exploit in the UN to gain Eelam. You are happy for them because they set the precedent of what R2P has achieved for the KLA. No Tamil will care about Kosovo if it were invaded tomorrow by the Russians. That is the truth.

Davinda,

I repeat, Kosovo is an independent country.

It is a done deal! You can scream the loudest, and nothing will change.

What you care about UN, as your uncle MR has branded them (U.N agencies) as Tiger agents anyway.

By the way, why are you so emotional that Kosovans get their freedom? You should be happy for them. Also, preare yourself for feeling happy soon, for SL Tamils!

Suresh, Kosovo is not a done deal.

Russia and China will VETO any attempt for that country to become a UN member. oh…. did you not read that part on Tamilnet? What good is a de facto country? The minute the USA drops its backing of Kosovo,…. it is a goner… What kind of a government do you think Kosovo can possibly have? They cannot even form a Military capable to defend themselves…. Any weapons shipments to Kosovo from those countries that recognize it like the USA and European Union will be considered a Hostile act and an Act of War, it will no doubt spark the next confilct and proxy war fought between the West and Eastern Europe….

But you can keep believing it if it continues to make you feel positive about Western Powers and their ‘Desire’ to help the downtrodden poor little brown people! LOL!

Yes, I’m sure those Westerners in the countries you live in welcome you immigrants with open arms! They MUST JUST LOVE the fact you come to their countries and undercut their labor forces, take jobs away from them, and alter their country’s Political and Religious landscapes. They all have these Pluralistic Harmonious societies that are just Itching to Help other races on the planet…. I’m sure they must love you coming to their schools and dating their daughters. Wow! Everytime you go outside into the streets they must carry you on their Shoulders in Canada or UK! and shout out loud to the people “All Hail the Little Brown people for Wherever!? “

Yes Subra Massey, I know you people have this inflated opinion of yourselves… You are obviously Genetically superior to the rest of the Human Race…I guess that is why you cannot share a country with the Sinhalese,… you need your own Racially Pure Land so that the Tamil Ethnicity can inbreed and grow devoid of any inferior genes…

Just curious, if nothing is impossible for you,..then why dont you take on a bigger better Army? Conquer the world? Have the Next major Empire on the globe? Hell! why not colonize Space? Why is such an inferior 3rd world country like Sri Lanka, and the less superior intellect of humans (we Sinhalese) giving you Superior Tamils such a hard time? I mean after 25 years of fighting our antiquated Planes and Guns, and our ‘Lazy Work Mentality’, you still can’t decisively beat us? How much more motivation do you need? What more of a challenge do you need? You say you thrive on challenges? So this quest for Eelam? Is that not a challenge?

Eagerly awaiting to hear your answer to this?

When Dr Martin Luther King Jr was speaking of his dream being deeply rooted in the American dream in 1963, our leader SJV Chelvanayakam was speaking of the Tamil dream, where Tamils and Sinhalese, would live with equality and justice, without any economic neglect and discrimination under a federal constitution of the island.

Non violent sit-in movements and direct action demonstrations were carried out by Tamils from 1950’s to 1970’s. The people of North East exhibited volcanic show of solidarity. The state often replied with degrading attack using Sinhalese mobs, the police and the armed forces. Tamils were dehumanised and either jailed or put under house arrest.

During the 1960’s, John F Kennedy was never desperate to please his white constituency. He gave public support to the sit-ins by Dr Martin Luther King Jr. In contrast, all the leaders of the south of Ceylon were competing desperately with one another to apeace the Sinhalese constituency.

Degrading discrimination of Tamils became a common practice and increased in vigour daily. Competition amongst the political leaders to make discrimination constitutional, produced the discriminatory unilateral constitution of the rebel state of Sri Lanka in 1972 in the south, illegally annexing the North East.

This action ignited the fire for freedom and a freedom movement for the North East was born. By self referendum, the people of North East mandated the birth of Tamil Eelam as an independent sovereign state.

The problem in Ceylon became the problem of two countries; Tamil Eelam and Sri Lanka. All the governments portrayed falsely, the problem in the island as ethnic problem and terrorist problem to the international community. Even the USA administration has erroneously understood the real problem in the island.

The political ideology of sit-ins in America and India yielded results because the citizens of America and Britain valued freedom, equality and justice for mankind. High morals and values were running in their blood streams and culture.

The sit-ins in Ceylon had a contrasting effect because the Sinhalese do not value human freedom, equality and justice. This made the state to gear up Tamil discrimination, violence, murder and displacements, forcing the Tamils to abandon non violent methods. Resistance against Sinhalese violence remained the only option available for survival.

Now, the cycle of violence has culminated into state terror and counter terror.

Morality cannot be legislated and laws cannot change attitudes. Military support to a country engaged in state terror is dangerous. For this reason, the United States has a policy to refrain from any military co-operation with dictatorial and terror states.

Because the United States is not applying this policy to the present government of Sri Lanka, the government is moving faster towrds dictatorship. The government is stubbornly arrogant even to grant the reasonable requests of the International Community.

The US government, should therefore, make its military support conditional that the government of Sri Lanka should permit a UN monitoring mission to be present in the island.

The west are welcome to give them Tooting, or Toronto or New Jersey if they wish, I am sure there are few second gen tamil tigers in the areas who claim it as their traditional homeland.

While I also agree with #2 Sunbra’s assessment of Obama I do not believe that his assertion that “we are world class people” in referring to Tamils help promote goodwill among the diferent ethnic communities. Towards this we must begin to respect one-another as Sri Lankans as opposed to identifications along narrow ethno-religious lines.

#4 Dayan’s comment that about US realization that it may not be a good idea to split-up a tiny island holds much validity though the SInhalese general self-comforting assertion that India will never allow the splitting of the island is unfounded. With the next US president expect India to be in a jam. US + EU + UN, driven from the most powerful office in the world will exert enormous pressure on India to live up to its Regional power status and force a political solution on the island, or if the heat is too much to get out of the kitchen – so that the powerful block may do this task for the Regional power.

It will most probably be an Indian implemented but EU + US driven conclusion. Either way, irrespective whether Prahabakaran is alive or not, LTTE is defeated or not, the SInhalese will have little choice but to agree to a federal-like solution with a bi-cameral body as described by #5 Rajasingham.

#7 Devinda is also right in that no one will jump in to save the Tigers though the IC accomplish the identical objective through the many other options available to them – such as cripling the Sri Lankan economy and UN sponsored sanctions. Expect these measures to be implemented relatively soon. India meantime possibly is hoping that SL armed forces will be able to deal a death blow to Prahabakaran so that they can take over without the fear – and possibly covertly encouaging the Rajapaksa administration to prosecute the war.

The point is no matter whether the Rajapaksa administration wins or not, the eventual outcome will be the same – a federal-like solution. So, why not announce this, marginalize the JVP, JHU, LTTE; ally with the UNP, form a national government; builld consensus, win the respect and support of the IC, and forge forward with the task of building the nation. Why create a viscious environemnt and wait till the nation is drained?

I agree with Subra #2 it is a President Obama that will enforce an intelligent solution on the island – one that will be beneficial to both the Sinhalese and the Tamils. In my projection it will be a solution along a federal model that permits all the communities to mind their own affairs.
