But I don't, so I really have nothing to say to you.<BR/><BR/>Tangara I understand you points, which I believe are along the UNP lines for solving the conflict (who, incidentally, I voted for in '05). But like I told David before, if you give them an inch today, they will take their Eelam in due course, because nothing short of independence will satisfy Prabhakaran and Tamil extremists like him. If we go for the easy solution and give them a federal state now, 5-10 years from now they <B>will</B> ask for full independence. And a war that would potentially erupt then will be ten times worse that it is now.<BR/><BR/>In my opinion, the solution we should be looking at is the military "sidelining" of the LTTE (because a complete defeat seams unlikely under current circumstance), and an economic, not federal, "final solution", if you get my point.Illegal.existencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16607233043045287352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-85540649284019336362007-05-04T16:33:00.000+05:302007-05-04T16:33:00.000+05:30Illegal Existence,Lets be realistic, we cannot get...Illegal Existence,<BR/><BR/>Lets be realistic, we cannot get away with the issue of devolution..SLFP proposals to solve the issue is hugely dissapointed..Anything less than a Federal solution will not work..Imagine other tamil groups start fighting against SLA all over again?<BR/><BR/>The GOSL and Sri Lankans must understand the real issues..JHU and JVP should understand that there is no way that they can have a unified country without giving tamils their own rights..tangarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225991509353724974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-30485187025044501942007-05-04T16:09:00.000+05:302007-05-04T16:09:00.000+05:30[I have discussed with a tamil engineer collegue o...[I have discussed with a tamil engineer collegue of mine whose relatives are still in Vanni.According to him there is a strong possibility that some of those planes were smuggled in the FARRAH iii ship which staged a pirating by the tigers.

There are guys who keep calling their air craft names like tin cans. It does not matter whether they are nothing in comparisson to the SLAF. What matters is that they have them.<BR/><BR/>Its important to know how to deal with them. The problem with the SLAF and other military units is they indulge in alot of their own propaganda and maybe are buying into it. We should reframe from buying into what politicians say. They are targeting their electorate and not others.<BR/><BR/>Remember the LTTE started with a pistol.
