		<description>suranga fernando:
you can find my reply below but this comment is about your name to avoid confusion

why did you choose such a unoriginal name? ( you are of course free to do so )
as i understand there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people in sri lanka (male and female ) with that exact name . are you the painter? shooter? cricketer? chess player? the news anchor ? one of several businessmen? one of several recent prominent and prize winning ( and no doubt obscure as well ) students at royal or other schools ? all these ppl are separate individuals. i know bc i know several of them.   

or are you sanjana hathotuwa  famous for encouraging this sort of thing, posting under another name as usual ? or indi himself doing his padashow thing? or one of  indi.padahow&#039;s siblings  trying to hide the relationship  to indi. padashow or his allegedly corrupt  father ? may be his mother perhaps? shall i go on with my speculations? :-)
no i wont . but don&#039;t blame me if others start

because if this kind of assuming of common names ( as i said ppl are perfectly free to do so ) without any link to blog identity can lead to all sorts of places  once everyone starts to do that .</description>

		<description>man! i waited for one month ( on purpose and because i was busy in any case ) and this is all they can come up with in response to my comments ?
abuse of my names!? :-D
says a lot about all around deficiency of peaceniks and indi padashow&#039;s friends.  they cannot stand rational  arguments so resorts to abuse of  name&#039;s and other such things

--
other points raised apart from abuse of my name are even sillier. ( i am replying to messe, sf etc.  pedro martinez etc etc  they cannot stay with one name even)

&lt;i&gt;I think the best thing about sittingnut is that he (correctly) states all the bad things that the LTTE do - but then vehemently denies that the GoSL has ever committed any of these crimes ever!&lt;/i&gt;
really ? where ?  imagining things? :-)

i do ask for evidence when ppl who depend on same sources as ltte terrorists for funds parrot absurd conspiracy theories.

&lt;i&gt;...they are there to be silenced and have (false) confessions beaten out of them. No evidence because their lawyers are intimidated tooâ€¦&lt;/i&gt;

in other words absence of evidence is proof of conspiracy ? lol . what &#039;s next? belief in alien abductions and a government cover up ?

if anyone thinks there is a moral equivalence between ltte and anybody else (except al queda or other such outfits) they have a problem with their judgment.
their condemnation of ltte and praise of military ring hollow when they make this moral equivalence between ltte and gosl.

--

&lt;i&gt;I donâ€™t think the LTTE can be defeated by GoSL armed forces ... Therefore we are left with appeasement, however bitter the pill may be to swallow.&lt;/i&gt;

sloppy logic of that is amazing!
 
we will examine the &quot;logic&quot; first .

&quot;LTTE can be defeated&quot; - &quot;think&quot; that? well many others ( with greater experience of war and ltte ) think otherwise. ( for what i &quot;think&quot; see below)
&quot;Therefore we are left with appeasement&quot; - really ? is that all we are &quot;left with&quot; ? why not reduction of ltte&#039;s power? esp reduction of lttes &#039;s direct control and  oppression of ppl. opposed liberation of east even if north cannot be liberated?

and is appeasement a viable option? any more than continuing violence, bc appeasement has always ended up with ... continuing violence ( here and every where appeasement was tried )

now to the point,
whether ltte can be defeated depends on what you call defeat.  i have said several times what i mean by victory ( reduction of ltte to a terrorist group in hiding occasionally detonating bombs ) there is no reason to believe that can not be done. it has been done elsewhere esp when government is local( from indonesia to turkey to spain to peru to greece to algeria) . false analogies about ira and viet cong only betray limited ( western leftist oriented ) world view and education
as such there is no reason whatsoever to let ltte control and oppress population centers and territory. even less appease by extending that control and oppression.

in any case appeasement  has never worked anywhere .violence will be there as long as ltte exists.
so  there is only one option realistically as well as morally; defeat ltte as far as possible.

&lt;i&gt;I think the appeasement of the ltte had got us peace to great extent&lt;/i&gt;
really? you were not living under ltte were you ? you were not killed or was under the threat of being put under ltte bc of some deal were you? may be you call that peace?
are you seriously saying that ppl in east are worse off now than under ltte during cfa?

&lt;i&gt;in this country people forget what they have quite easily... We had peace.. yes there was cold war.&lt;/i&gt;
yes it was easy to forget that ppl had to live under ltte&#039;s boot. you forgot .

&lt;i&gt;they are complicated thats why they donâ€™t end over night...&lt;/i&gt;
i am sure neville chamberlain  thought so when munich appeasement unraveled .
can you point to any case where appeasement worked anywhere?

&lt;i&gt;I do believe in a cold war..&lt;/i&gt;
cold war ( even if desirable which i doubt ) can happen only if both sides decide to have a cold war . not when one side resort to unprovoked attacks from day one of ceasefire and make it hot  . you forgot those too, huh ?

most sri lankans did not forget unlike you

--

&lt;i&gt;it is probably duty bound to arrest many in its own ranks too then.. once that starts to happen then maybe we can consider them to a government for all in this country.&lt;/i&gt;
gosl  is certainly duty bound to arrest thugs including ltte. but to say it should not try to bring ltte to justice bc it failed to arrest few other not comparable thugs linked to particular politicians ( though in fact there are some legal procedures going on ) is silly.

--
&lt;i&gt;Govt is only duty bound to bring thugs to justice if they are not affiliated to Mervyn Silva or other Govt goonsâ€¦&lt;/i&gt;
more silly logic
saying gosl should not try to bring  to justice ltte bc mervyn silva ( a peacenik and great friend of peaceniks as i have pointed out elsewhere ) was not bought to justice is ludicrous. 
bring all thugs to justice as i always say. ( btw as thuggish as indi&#039; idol mervyn silva is he cannot compare with ltte, so don&#039;t use him as an excuse not to urge gosl to bring ltte to justice )

&lt;i&gt;itâ€™s a bit conspiratorial...&lt;/i&gt;
lol  absurd conspiracy theories-  only refuge peaceniks have

--
it is telling how these ppl have avoided answering the questions i raised  for most part directly or comprehensively, going into unrelated digressions. for instead about mervin silva in answer to 4 etc.

so i will repeat the questions to bring focus

&lt;i&gt;
1. if you think ltte is not a criminal terrorists gang violating right to life , human rights , justice , democracy, and freedom of sri lankans please be good enough to says so. and your reason for thinking so

2. if you think it is realistic to believe that appeasement of ltte will bring peace please be good enough to says so. and your reason for thinking so

3. if you think they can be defeated without violence in the real world we live in, please say so and your reason for thinking so

4. and if you think government is not duty bound to defeat armed criminal gangs due to . please say so and your reason for thinking so

&lt;/i&gt;
i have exposed the silly logic of indirect and partial answers they gave above.

is it too much to expect rational direct and comprehensive  answers here? :-)</description>

		<description>The actions of Velupillai Pirabaharan, the leader of Tamil Tigers prove he is real tiger. The only business he knows is killing. He killed Kalvian Kaadu Chetty, the person who named the group &quot;Tigers&quot; and the original leader of the Tiger group

Then Pirabaharan tried to kill the next leader of Tigers, Uma Maheswaran in a shoot out in India . He killed the founding members of the Tigers, Michael and Pat Kunam. Pirabaharan himself tipped off the Police about the then leaders of Tigers, Kuttimani and Thangathurai and their whereabouts. This incident led to Kuttimani and Thangathuraiâ€™s incarceration until their terrible deaths in the Welikade jail.

Pirabaharan killed all the persons he worked with before he became the leader of the Tigers. He even killed the last surviving Tiger group founding member Sabalingam who was residing in France , because Sabalingam started writing about Pirabaharan&#039;s power hungry killings

After Pirabaharan became the leader of the Tigers, he started killing all Tamil political leaders, elected mayors, university professors and many innocent Tamils who had criticized Tigers. Pirabaharan banned all Tamil political organizations for the last twenty years and finally the international community including USA, Canada, European Union, India and Australia has banned the Tigers, mainly due to Tigers&#039; continuous use of child soldiers and their terror activities.

Pirabaharan also killed hundreds of people who were members and supporters of Tamil political organizations. Pirabaharan killed the Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. He even killed the Sri Lankan President Premadasa who had provided helicopter loads of weapons and money to Tigers.

Pirabaharan clearly knows that under any circumstances except at gunpoint, majority of Tamils won&#039;t accept his leadership. That&#039;s why he killed all other Tamil Political leaders, to become as the so-called &quot;Sole Leader of Tamils&quot;.

Ramachandran a.k.a MGR, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu gave Pirabaharan more than 1.25 billion rupees in 1985. Tamils provided their support to Tigers at gunpoint only and never helped Tigers to grow to this extent. Without MGR massive financial support and Premadasa&#039;s supply of weapons and money, Tigers won&#039;t exist today.

Tigers are terror loving trigger-happy killers, created by MGR and Premadasa. Tigers&#039; killings are severely affecting the future of Tamils since the killings created a huge political vacuum.
In 1990 Pirabaharan wanted 100,000 Muslims in the North of Sri Lanka to get out within 24 hours, leaving their belongings and treasured valuables - that was a text book example of â€˜ethnic cleansingâ€™.  Prabhakaran made Idi Amin look like an angel as Idi Amin had a heart to give the Asians in Uganda three months to leave the country and not 24 hours. 

Most of the young people who are younger than 35 years, do not know the history of Tigers. They believe that, Tigers became so powerful, because of continuous outpouring support from majority of the Tamils,

If Tamils like Tigers, why is Greater Colombo flooded with Tamils from Tiger controlled areas? If majority of Tamils like Tigers, Tiger controlled areas should be flooded with Tamils from other areas. Why are Tamils trying to escape Tiger controlled areas, rather than migrating to Tiger controlled area?

If Tigers lift the exit pass system and allow free movement in the Tiger controlled areas, except the people on Tigers&#039; payroll, every body else will leave Tiger controlled area. The only supporters of Tigers are that they either do not know anything about Tigers or gain benefits from Tigers.

Why are none of the Tamil business people investing in Tiger controlled areas? Why are even farmers leaving Tiger controlled areas? Why are Tamils living abroad trying to help their relatives to leave Tiger controlled areas? In Tiger controlled areas nobody can express any political opinions or different ideas.

Only things allowed to say are those that support Tigers. No way can anyone criticize Tigers and live the next day in a Tiger controlled area. Tigers that do not care about human lives will never understand even the basics of human rights. Even the hardcore Tiger supporters are not willing to relocate to Tiger controlled areas.

Majority of the Tamil refugees, who claimed asylum in western countries, told the authorities that they were running away from Tigers. If majority of Tamils who live abroad support Tigers, why do they have to be threatened to collect money for Tigers as reported by the Human Rights Watch?

If majority of the Tamils who live abroad support Tigers, those Tamils would line up in front of the Tiger branch offices to drop off money. The major serious problem Tamils are facing right now is there are hundreds of very young terror loving trigger happy Tigers who know only one thing, which is killing another human. Last thirty years, Tigers killed more Tamils than any body else. Also more Tigers were killed by Pirabaharan than any body else.

Majority of Sri Lankan Tamils are patiently hoping, praying and waiting for a new young democratic political visionary as a leader. Until then, gunpoint Tiger culture and never ending killing spree by Tigers will grow and continue.</description>

		<description>I think the best thing about sittingnut is that he (correctly) states all the bad things that the LTTE do - but then vehemently denies that the GoSL has ever committed any of these crimes ever! 

&lt;em&gt;1. if you think ltte is not a criminal terrorists gang violating right to life , human rights , justice , democracy, and freedom of sri lankans please be good enough to says so. and your reason for thinking so&lt;/em&gt;

Yep yep, they are all these things, agreed. But GoSL is a criminal gang too - if you deny this because of lack of evidence, you are very naive. You think that if there is no evidence the Govt is innocent? There are lots of examples of the Govt and the CJ circumventing the justice system to cover up their dirty work. Visit the 4th floor of the CID sometime and see the guys they have locked up under the PTA - they are there to be silenced and have (false) confessions beaten out of them. No evidence because their lawyers are intimidated too...

&lt;em&gt;2. if you think it is realistic to believe that appeasement of ltte will bring peace please be good enough to says so. and your reason for thinking so&lt;/em&gt;

I am a peacenik - only because I don&#039;t think the LTTE can be defeated by GoSL armed forces. I think the GoSL&#039;s security forces are brave, amazing people who are risking their lives to defeat terrorist pussies, far braver than I. But I can&#039;t see them winning, it&#039;s like trying to beat the Viet Cong or the IRA - how can you defeat an enemy who could be walking amongst you? I hope we can win militarily, I am in agreement with you in principle that terrorists need to be killed, nothing less. But I am not confident that it is a realistic solution in our context. Therefore we are left with appeasement, however bitter the pill may be to swallow.

&lt;em&gt;3. if you think they can be defeated without violence in the real world we live in, please say so and your reason for thinking so&lt;/em&gt;

I don&#039;t think they can be defeated at all, as explained above. This leave us only with negotiation and appeasement. I hate to give in to the lunatic waving the grenade in the crowded street, but in the absence of a sniper I have no option but to negotiate. Same concept applies - I hate to say it but negotiation is the only way. The problem is that LTTE is duplicitious and uses peace to rearm and recruit - but personally I see no other option. I hope that your faith in a military solution is well-founded - if GoSL does beat the LTTE militarily I will be just as happy as you!

&lt;em&gt;4. and if you think government is not duty bound to defeat armed criminal gangs due to . please say so and your reason for thinking so&lt;/em&gt;

Govt is only duty bound to bring thugs to justice if they are not affiliated to Mervyn Silva or other Govt goons...

Last point - it&#039;s a bit conspiratorial but don&#039;t you think that Mahinda has little incentive to win the war so soon? If LTTE is defeated now, he will surely lose the next election, as cost-of-living will become the number one election issue. Methinks that if Mahinda can defeat them, he will drag this on until 2017, when his 12 years are up...</description>

		<description>These were your questions to me, these are my answers;

1. if you think ltte is not a criminal terrorists gang violating right to life , human rights , justice , democracy, and freedom of sri lankans please be good enough to says so. and your reason for thinking so 

They are all that you claim them to be.. YES.. so i&#039;m in agreement with you.


2. if you think it is realistic to believe that appeasement of ltte will bring peace please be good enough to says so. and your reason for thinking so

I think the appeasement of the ltte had got us peace to great extent. But like most cases in this country people forget what they have quite easily. We had peace.. yes there was cold war.. but it was a cold war.. not a full scale war.. full scale wars take time to end.. they are complicated thats why they don&#039;t end over night. it woudl&#039;ve taken about 5 to 10 years to end the war all together.. 


3. if you think they can be defeated without violence in the real world we live in, please say so and your reason for thinking so .

I do believe in a cold war.. violence is a realistic part of this world. i&#039;mnot stupid.. but you have to understand that its slow quiet war.

4. and if you think government is not duty bound to defeat armed criminal gangs due to . please say so and your reason for thinking so 

Yes the government is duty bound.. and so it is probably duty bound to arrest many in its own ranks too then.. once that starts to happen then maybe we can consider them to a government for all in this country.


Now you seem to be asking everyone questions. now me ask you one.

Do you believe that the government is not responsible for Extrajudicial killings?? and has not killed innocent people as well?</description>

		<description>Well you should use some of the very same unclouded reasoning your self.. I DIDN&#039;T say the govt killed Maheswaran, I was merely pointing out facts. If your claim is true how come the investigation is all hush hush and there is hearing to date? After all it&#039;s not everyday that Govt catches an assassin.

The point I wanted to draw was that.. the Govt uses security cover given to individuals as a bargaining/threatening/keeping in place tool. The list of people I have given above will prove so. Parami Kulatunga was provided with only a L200 and a Motorbike so is that adequate you think? Parakrama Pannipita&#039;s back up vehicle was a Van that doesn&#039;t start and needs a &quot;thallu start&quot;. So legally he has been provided with a backup vehicle. Your argument stands. :-)</description>

		<description>did government kill anura too? and was it due to reduction of security ? btw you leave out the tree that government/devanada/ militray planted in the middle of the road to meet the sripathi&#039;s slowly driving vehicle  

:-)

and was security to army officer referred to reduced in any undue way? please point to where you got that evidence  .

what makes you think that other reductions in security ( all of it in line with protocol) will either hinder or help ltte killers .  did it specifically help in the murder of maheswaran or was it the fact that he used to go to publc temple at very specific times ? 

and why aren&#039;t other opposition or  tna mps disclosing the information he supposedly wanted to disclose. what prevents them? after all they make all sorts of allegations against government daily,  so why not this?   do explain 

maybe you think all other tna and opposition  mps are working for government/devanada/ militray too?:-)

could you point to evidence  that show suspected killer of maheswarn being a employed by government/devanada/ militray?

weren&#039;t police officers killed with other tna mps who were killed ? but you choose slander this police officer guarding maheswarn . why?

in fact only thing that you have pointed to that can support your argument is the premature  claim of victor perera. (which while inappropriate was reasonable suspicion)
 if i am wrong, point to backing eveidence for other cliams you make

may be you think expressing very far fetched and barely perceptible grounds for suspicions, will be an improvement, to  victor perera&#039;s  suspicion. 

your reasoning goes like this - &quot;igp expressed unsubstantiated cliams i will make some too- more absurd the better &quot;

-
in contrast was any of the things i said of maheswaran  being a prime target of ltte wrong?

let me remind you -
&quot;maheshwaran while criticizing government was also the owner of ships that are transporting goods to jaffna, an activity that ltte ( and its peacenik helpers) want to stop so that lands roads can be opened and they can â€œtax â€ them. not to mention the fact that maheshwarn was threatened and prevented from standing for jaffna district in 2004 election . and he was previously shot by ltte as he admitted when out of hospital. all this consistent with ltte policy of being sole representative.  a racist, criminal, and undemocratic policy that peaceniks and political masters of indi padashow and his relatives accepted with bended knees.&quot;

-
given all that, do you think indi padashow was justified in identifying govermnet as the prime suspect ? 

as always unclouded reasoning helps.</description>

		<description>your mistakes due to prejudices show through in your comment. 

yes nobody is innocent . nobody here said they are. 

but there is a difference between government and ltte you fail to see that.  please justify your equalization of a legitimate democratic government and a criminal gang. 

any  government is duty bound to bring criminal gangs to justice using violence if needs be and it is bound to protect  right to life, and other human rights, freedom justice,  and democracy of all sri lankans. in addition to that moral imperative given teh historsy of ltte , its behavious during latest cfa , and fact that appeasement has never worked anywhere, there are pragmatic reasons why government should not allow an armed group to usurp its authority and why a peace with such group as long as they are armed will not work 

when govenment try to carry out its duty and given the nature of ltte there will be violence. violence is never innocent but there is no other choice ,if it is to do its duty.  your mistake is thinking that there is another  choice when agoverment is confrinted with a terrorist group. 

-
you also make a  reference to &quot;sinhala nation &quot; and try to imply that this is war is between sinhalaese and ltte.  what makes you think so?
i am from a minority, so was jeyaraj and tamils do not support the terrorists either. in fact the war is between sri lankans who want human rights, democracy and freedom and justice etc against a criminal terrorists gang. 

you makes the irrational mistake of thinking otherwise and fails to support your argument.

in contrast i have given both the pragmatic and moral rationale for war and pointed out why it is the only choice available to us if we are not morally bankrupt and realistc.  

if you disagree you have do the following - 

1. if you think ltte is not a criminal terrorists gang violating right to life , human rights , justice , democracy, and freedom of sri lankans please be good enough to says so. and your reason for thinking so 

2. if you think it is realistic to believe that appeasement of ltte will bring peace  please be good enough to says so. and your reason for thinking so

3. if you think they can be defeated without violence in the real world we live in, please say so and your reason for thinking so 

4. and if you think government is not duty bound to defeat armed criminal  gangs due to .  please say so and your reason for thinking so 

-----
i have explained my experiences with war and bombs elsewhere. 
only rational conclusion that can be drawn from ltte&#039;s actions through out history is that as long as ltte exits in its present form whether they are in a cfa or not atrocities will continue . 

your so called &quot;peace trap&quot; didnot work as evidence show -  they rearmed, including with air power , they killed gosl intelligence and long range units , they killed democratic tamil leaders, they increased their finances  and international network,  they recruited and killed children who refused to join , they prevented democratic process and even voting  etc etc during so called cfa. trap failed and there was no peace. you seems to for get all that. where were you then and why for all that?
- 

please be good enough to specify what you call my blind beliefs bc as long as you fail to specify your argument  fails. i would be happy to examine any specified &quot;blind beliefs&quot; :-)

why are you afraid to specify? 
- 
 
it is you who are suffering from delusion and irrationality .  other wise you will not make the specific mistake es and arguments referred to above 
if not, please make a rational  fact based case why we and gosl should not try to defeat ltte  as we bound to do both for moral as well as pragmatic reasons. ( refer 4 points made above)</description>

		<description>&quot;brooking no dissent&quot;! i welcome dissent .  
i argue my case as opposed censoring something ( a favorite peacenik tactic in their blogs) or trying to close down an argument as you try to do. 

it is ppl who cannot stand dissent, who find vigorous, &quot;vociferous&quot; and even &quot;acidic&quot; arguments bothersome. 
so if you can stand dissent, plaese make your arguement against the points i made instead of trying to close it down. 

- 
as i asked you before please specify what  you call my &quot;absolutist views&quot;. then we will see whether they are or not,  why are you afraid to specify. :-)

as long as you are not specific and your only argument against the points i raised is that i am &quot;vociferous&quot; it is you who look like a person who cannot stand opposing views  and wants to close down an arguement

do make a rational case against the points i raised, i would welcome that . :-)

- 
talking about being &quot;vulgar&quot; (a subjective term) , you know that you are writing on a blog whose owner regularly gratuitously uses the most &quot;vulgar&quot; expletives in his posts that i have never used, do you? ( not to mention his other blog &quot;padashow&quot; ).  btw what do you think of the words &quot;douchebag&quot; in above post? 

be that as it may, the words &quot;pussy&quot; and &quot;ass licker &quot;,  you mention, i have used to refer to ltte terrorists and their peacenik friends  respectively in my own blog ( as a courtesy, i have not used them elsewhere unless the owner of the blog has used similar terms in the post or thread concerned - for instance i did not use those terms here see above ) 

anyway i use them in my own blog because they appropriately describe the persons refered to and what they are doing .   and i always point out what they are doing while using those terms.  and i will do so here.

when tiger terrorists commits the foul act  of deliberately killing civilians as they did in this incident they imo deserve the ( &quot;foul&quot; according to you ) term &quot;pussies&quot; ( btw   tigers are cats too :-)) . similarly  when peaceniks parrot racist terrorist  propaganda,  justify and fail to unqualifiedly condemn terrorist atrocities, and are willing to sacrifice sri lankans right to life,  human rights, justice , freedom , and democracy to appease terrorist, etc etc. and do other foul acts on behalf of terrorists imo term ( again &quot; foul&quot; according to you )  &quot;ass lickers&quot; is appropriate for them. 

btw i never said my choice of words is the only appropriate words for these ppl and all others should use them. they are the words i think appropriate and i will defend their use. 
why not let us know how you describe ltte and their peacenik helpers in words you think are  appropriate . i would be happy to hear them .</description>

		<description>Maheswaran&#039;s guard was cut down since he was voicing opinions against the govt just like Mano Ganeshan, Hakim, Anura Bandaranayake and Iqbal Athas. The Govt uses this as a method of threatening people to support them, or face the due consequences. Not only MP&#039;s but even Army folk like Lt. Gen. Parami Kulatunga and now Maj Gen Parakrama Pannipitiya Hero of Thoppigala. 

In Maheswaran&#039;s case was going to inform the parliament in the next sitting about individuals with connections to Govt MP&#039;s extorting tamils in the north and east. Also he denied the invitation to vote for the govt in the budget. 

Surprisingly Johnson Colin Valentine the killer of Maheswaran was part of the EPDP headed by Douglas Devananda and moved onto Mil. Intelligence. He coincidentally  was a part of Maheswaran&#039;s detail during his stint at MSD. But this is all worthless because the Policeman who shot him and identified him couldn&#039;t make him out in the identification parade. So he obviously was mistaken and after all it was an LTTE guy who killed Maheswaran like determined by IGP Victor Perera within a matter of hours after the incident. So it wasn&#039;t a COVER UP by the Govt. By no means. :) And I&#039;m Chinese..  and have very long hair.:)</description>

		<description>&quot;Being a government ministerâ€™s like being a rap star. Cars, guns, parties and the ever looming threat of death. &quot;

He he he. This is the best aphorism that I&#039;ve seen about Sri Lankan politicians.</description>

		<description>Yes my question too is how do you know that the government holds no responsibility in these situation? Are you part of the government? 

My point is that no one is innocent in this matter, both sides aggravate the situation, both sides prolong the suffering of this country. I love this place but that does not mean I have a blind addiction for the sinhala nation or the tigers. I just choose to identify the reality behind this. 

reality is not always what it seems to be. I don&#039;t know about sittingnut, pedro or indi. I live in SL and its not often that I am around an explosion. I&#039;ve been almost on my way to the place just before they did explode. Its at times like that I think that its too close for comfort. Yet we never stop to think about the bombs that fall on a daily basis up in the north. The Civilians that die everyday. 

This government chose war. Of that I&#039;m sure. THE TIGERS were trapped in a peace deal and the government set them free. 

For what purpose do you think this is? Because they can defeat them militarily? We need to understand that this is not a war between the government and the tigers. If it were so then this war would&#039;ve been over a long time ago but i&#039;m not sure who the winner would&#039;ve been. 

There are many political forces involved. Unfortunately most here think we are isolated and we can do with alone. What is wrong with them? are  they just not exposed to the facts of this world? 

I think sittingnut should be more open minded about matters and learn to see the truth in it all and not just believe something blindly. We will keep killing each other for a long time to come.. thats fine with me as long as they take their war to a far off place like hambanthota. They wanted it they can keep it there.</description>

		<description>It just occurs to me that you must have particularly exceptional knowledge and insight into the conflict to be able to hold the views that you do, brooking no dissent. Someone who argues as vociferously as you do must &lt;i&gt;know&lt;/i&gt; something that the rest of us don&#039;t, right? How else could you be so absolutist in your views? 

About acidity: you can be intolerant of those things and still express yourself in a civil, thoughtful  manner. I don&#039;t know you personally, but your writing is peppered with vulgar invective, that&#039;s why I called you acidic. The personal attacks, the &#039;ass licker&#039; and &#039;pussy&#039; remarks, the other names you throw around - it just doesn&#039;t put you or your ideas in a positive light. It&#039;s hateful, and I think there&#039;s enough of that going on in Sri Lanka as it is. I realize you aren&#039;t interested in a debate - your views are set in stone - but it isn&#039;t too much to ask you to be civilized.</description>

		<description>dear mr &quot;pedro martinez&quot; thank you for making your appearance( first?)  on the sl blogosphere to take a shot at me. (lot of never before heard of commenters suddenly make a appearance here to  do that ).  :-)
-
as for my being sure, if you don&#039;t understand as you claim what makes you think i was sure of anything? :-)
care to explain what i seems so sure of ? then we will see who was sure of what. 

-
anyway what is it that seems incoherent ? i would be happy to explain ( i will put main points in as list form  for easy reference.)

you are not clear about what?

1 that indi also has blog under name padashow?

2  that maheswaran was a ltte target? and reasons and evidence 
3. that  indi.padashow by claiming  government as the primary suspect forget (2) and  show bias ?

3. that ltte never fought for tamils? 
4. that ppl who equate tamils with ltte terrorists are racists?  
5 that peaceniks do this equalization ?

6 that arguments for  appeasement of ltte can only be made by morally bankrupt people?
7 that in addition no pragmatic case can be made for appeasement?

8 that a  realistic attempt to defeat ltte will involve violence and other horrors as in all wars?

10 that while seemingly condemning ltte indi.padashow avoids the question of what to do with ltte ? is he for appeasement or for defeating ltte ?

11 that avoidence is intellectually dishonest ?
12 that it is also hypocritical when he criticizes  people who have not avoided the question of what to do with ltte ? 

13 that all this morally bankrupt, dishonest and hypocritical behavior is related  to his relative&#039;s current state as a kicked out political appointee ?
 
if you want any clarification of any of the above please ask :-) 
of course there are some ppl who find 2+2=4  beyond their comprehension  .  are you one of those ?

		<description>your words are as empty as indi.padashow&#039;s  see below. 
curious how some ppl find it easy to criticise everyone but cannot say anything meaningful on how to deal with a reality of ltte. as long as you cannot say how to deal with ltte your words lack meaning and you live in a dream world</description>

		<description>another empty post by racist son of a political lackey; indi.padashow .
-
as always the racist he thinks ltte is fighting for tamils . it never did. it is fools like this one who propagate that lie on behalf of terrorists.

-
he also propagate that some mps have been killed &quot; probably by the government or associated paramilitaries.&quot;  as if . 

take late mp maheshwaran, he was shot by a ltte member and his security was not reduced and his guards engaged in a firefight when he was shot in temple which he attended on a fixed timetable against the advice of security.  indi padashow forgets all those facts 
maheshwaran while criticizing  government was also the owner of ships that are tranporting goods to jaffna, an activity  that ltte ( and its peacenik helpers)  want to stop so that lands roads can be opened and they can &quot;tax &quot; them. not to mention the fact that maheshwarn was threatened and prevented from standing for jaffna district in 2004. and he was previously shot by ltte as he admitted when out of hospital.  all this contistant with ltte policy of being sole representative. a racist, criminal,  and undemocratic policy that peaceniks and political masters of indi padashow and his relatives  accepted with bended knees.  

but this idiot indi.padashow forget all that and thinks it is government that killed maheshwaran . same with others 
-

why does he include the blame the government line here? bc he wants to create a moral equivalence between ltte terrorists and government. 

-
as always indi. padashow pretends to condemns the ltte terrorists but just as predictably fails to say how he would want ltte to be handled . 

is he for appeasing the ltte, thus look the other way while ltte deprives hundreds of thousands of fellow sri lankans of their right to life , human rights, justice , freedom and democracy? even if he does not care for morality of such appeasement, does he think appeasing ltte will work from a purely realistic point of view ? 
 
or is he for defeating ltte ? if so is he opposed to the inevitable  violence and other inconveniences ( as in other countries that has violent conflicts) while defeating it that any realist will expect ?  

his continuing failure to grapple with these questions make his posts empty and intellectuality dishonest . 
that he continues to include in those posts ( as here ) the same racist and pro terrorist propaganda indicate that he is as morally bankrupt ( and completely removed from sri lanakn ground realities ) as his friends the peacenik criminals are. 
-

in all probability his behavior can be explained thus -
he just want to criticize  government bc his relatives cannot regain the cushy and lucrative catives public sector jobs.</description>

he also propagate that some mps have been killed &#8221; probably by the government or associated paramilitaries.&#8221;  as if . </p>
<p>take late mp maheshwaran, he was shot by a ltte member and his security was not reduced and his guards engaged in a firefight when he was shot in temple which he attended on a fixed timetable against the advice of security.  indi padashow forgets all those facts<br />
maheshwaran while criticizing  government was also the owner of ships that are tranporting goods to jaffna, an activity  that ltte ( and its peacenik helpers)  want to stop so that lands roads can be opened and they can &#8220;tax &#8221; them. not to mention the fact that maheshwarn was threatened and prevented from standing for jaffna district in 2004. and he was previously shot by ltte as he admitted when out of hospital.  all this contistant with ltte policy of being sole representative. a racist, criminal,  and undemocratic policy that peaceniks and political masters of indi padashow and his relatives  accepted with bended knees.  </p>
<p>but this idiot indi.padashow forget all that and thinks it is government that killed maheshwaran . same with others<br />
-</p>
<p>why does he include the blame the government line here? bc he wants to create a moral equivalence between ltte terrorists and government. </p>
<p>-<br />
as always indi. padashow pretends to condemns the ltte terrorists but just as predictably fails to say how he would want ltte to be handled . </p>
<p>is he for appeasing the ltte, thus look the other way while ltte deprives hundreds of thousands of fellow sri lankans of their right to life , human rights, justice , freedom and democracy? even if he does not care for morality of such appeasement, does he think appeasing ltte will work from a purely realistic point of view ? </p>
<p>or is he for defeating ltte ? if so is he opposed to the inevitable  violence and other inconveniences ( as in other countries that has violent conflicts) while defeating it that any realist will expect ?  </p>
<p>his continuing failure to grapple with these questions make his posts empty and intellectuality dishonest .<br />
that he continues to include in those posts ( as here ) the same racist and pro terrorist propaganda indicate that he is as morally bankrupt ( and completely removed from sri lanakn ground realities ) as his friends the peacenik criminals are.<br />
-</p>
<p>in all probability his behavior can be explained thus -<br />
he just want to criticize  government bc his relatives cannot regain the cushy and lucrative catives public sector jobs.</p>

		<description>Rats.. the bunch of them. You point out well that no one deserves to die! I believe that too.. but this world can be a better place without some. This is just how life is around here. People killing each other. We&#039;ve been doing it for over 20 years and I think its about time we all just got used to it.

I mean for what its worth we were in a state of peace a few years ago and its the people of this country that didn&#039;t like it. They voted for a government that come in on a war ticket. The tigers needed it to get out of the peace deal so everyone should be happy now isn&#039;t it?</description>
