Sri Lanka and the LTTE

Posted by Chirantha on Dec. 4, 2006, 3:23 p.m.

Hi,

http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20061201_13

They want destruction. If you support the LTTE, think again. They are just running around killing people for a land they will NEVER get. Please attempt to stop collection of money for the LTTE as UK is the No. 1 place for them. They come saying that they are collecting money for aid but actually they end up in the accounts of the LTTE. They use it to do actions like this and to get what? War? I don't think the war is a good solution. But if they really want it they will get it and I hope the world doesn't put the stop sign on the Sri Lankan Government because it seems the world failed to put the stop sign on the LTTE.

*LTTE is a Terrorist Organization

*They are banned in many countries

*They have killed over 65,000 people in 20 years of war

*They always used Peace Talks to recover from losses

*They almost killed the army commander (indication of asking for a war)

*Meaning of LTTE is Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam

*What do they what? They want the entire north east of Sri Lanka to make there Eelam

*Why won't Sri Lanka give the North East to the LTTE? Because would you like 1/3 part of the country taken over by a Organization and you will have to pay to walk on your own land that was suppose to be yours?

*Do we treat Tamils badly? Actually the LTTE is saying we are but it seems they are trying to trick the world community. No we don't I know relations that are Tamil and mind you they treat us well too. We have no problems with Tamils but its the LTTE that is trying to start the Sinhala - Tamil hate.

Addition 1 :

If the LTTE loves Tamils so much, would anyone care to explain why the LTTE kills the Tamils themselves? And also the LTTE uses the Tamils as human shields in war. In addition they kidnap Tamil children and make them child solders and when the children die they do the respect of returning the bodies (the future of Sri Lanka and the Tamil Community). Also it is known that the LTTE forces the Tamils to give there valuables they own such as Gold to buy weapons etc. And it is known that they charge every Tamil doctor a tax of about $200+ why is the world only complaining about the Sri Lankan Government? Is the world community a hostage of the LTTE?

OK, I looked it up, the Veddahs are the oldest group on the island… give the whole thing to them. And both the Tamils and Sinhala have been on Sri Lanka for a long time, with many Tamil being brought in as near-slaves by colonial British plantation owners. The 2004 tsunami that devastated much of the south pacific brought a short period of peace to Sri Lanka, but that broke down. The Tamil are mostly Hindu, and the Sinhala are mostly Buddhist. Giving the Tamil regions more autonomy (but not necessarily total independence) would probably meet the demands of most of the Tamil people and therefore decrease the support base of the LTTE. There is no way to defeat a locally supported terrorist/guerilla army through military action alone, and the Sri Lankan government must do a better job of reaching out to the Tamil community if they hope to ever stop this conflict.

Your a retard if you don't know where Sri Lanka is.

… or you're a common American. I happen to know where Sri Lanka is only because I have been in the same continent as it. Most Americans can't say that, so I don't expect them to know where it is.

Yea, Americans tend to not give a shit about anything but themselves, so other countries don't matter. Why know about other countires when they don't matter?

I only know about Sri Lanka because I like knowing random things about nothing.
