Riz Khan - Question of the Week - 14 Jan 08

[nirojan1986]

The Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) is a Terrorist State.

While on a U.N. Mission in Haiti the Government of Sri Lanka( GoSL) Soldiers Raped underage children in Haiti.

If they can do that under the watchful eye of the UN imagine what they are doing to the Tamils in Sri Lanka; where they control everything.

Search for "Sri Lanka Haiti" in a search engine like GOOGLE and you will see the truth.

[wsuresha]

Yes, and also dont forget to do a search on any(Not just google) search engine for - ltte atrocities.

you will see the truth.

[ASELRANGEBANDARA]

war is the solution....

[buddhasknowbest]

Riz Khan is asking a foolish question. There is no true solution, which is why he's asking for answers to the conflict. Even if a solution existed, it wouldn't matter, due to the nature of man. Greed, hatred, and delusion inevitably run amuck. There will be cause and effect.

[gesellschaft]

My new years resolution is to spread Ron Paul's message of non-interventionist foreign policy, friendly relations, liberty, prosperity, and sovereign rights.

[alanaldasucks]

non-interventionist foreign policy is unresponsible, we can't let people be murdered just because they are in a different country

[gesellschaft]

So we should be the ones doing the murdering? Clinton's sanctions alone were responsible for the death of half a million and more innocents die under occupations and installation of tyrants than not.

[alanaldasucks]

what murdering are we doing? we are not tyrants like saddam! we are killing the people who are oppressive and support evil regimes, we are not simply murdering innocent civilians like they are

[shaktiX]

I agree if we choose to "intervene" in countries that has oil why not here!

[feeknocks]

Three words

Diplomacy diplomacy diplomacy.

[6Gump9]

COIN - Counter Insurgency techniques. Win the hearts and minds of the inhabitants and empower them with the tools necessary to push out the Tigers.

[johnvdws]

War is the only solutuion - No Peace with LTTE

[july0025]

Then only god can save Srilanka (Inc: Singalist).. Good luck

[minnesotakabaap]

Bomb them off to oblivion!

[idrobinhood]

Make a confederate region for the Themela people but not a separate state.

I have Sri Lankan friends there very good people, I've seen on the news to many innocent people being killed by Tamil tigers, they should be taken out with the support of Nations that are set against terrorism, brutality against civilians. I hope the US gives Satellite information to the SL forces to defeat the Tamil tigers.

[tj20077]

Themela people arrive to sri lanka 2000 years AFTER sinhalese!!! They need to live in peace with sinhalese and stop trying to create a tamil state which will NEVER happen.

[Bhakthi7]

and u know what? who the hell is going to stop our forces from defeating terrorism? and Aljazeera sure can have ppl's answers lol, BUT SRI LANKA is OUR land, and our armies will fight to save our mother land, aka the LIONS' Pride land from who ever the basterds try to occupie our country or destroy our country's reputation or whatever it is! So noone will ever DARE to get in the way of Sri Lankan lion hearts! so GO SL Forces! we are ALL with you!

[MahasohonBrigade]

tamils have any right to claim the singhaless homeland called sri lanka , like singhaless dont have any right to claim the tamils """"homeland""" called tamils'S nadu (even in tamil nadu their are not indepandant BUT federal MOUhahahahahaha )

[J1Goro]

Al Jazeera is absolutely disturbing in it's views and absolutely disturbing as a partnership member of YT.

[maravan4u]

It is disturbing to see that all the Singhalese friends have failed to understand the root cause of this ethnic problem faced by Tamil people in SL. Instead of trying to find a solution to the root cause, these Singhalese are trying to cover up the ethnic problem. Chauvinist Singhalese created this ethnic problem. Now SL government is doing ethnic cleansing of Tamils in the name of terrorism. It is international community's responsibility to step in and give fair rights to Tamils.

[Bhakthi7]

AND my answer to the question is finish the LTTE Tamil Tiger Terrorists by War and clean them up. Even when the cease fire was going on all these tigers did was getting the advantage and using innocent tamil civiliants to involve in war by forcing them! So My best wishes to our Sri Lankan Forces!

[july0025]

Over 30 Years Now.. the same storry... Singalist never going to change.. They need War, They don't care Tamil. They Happy to Kill tamils..

War Kills..

[Solja2010]

well said bakthi7, and july0025 is an another fake ass who doesnt have any straight facts but just replying whatever there is madeup. WAR is the only answer for this. Get rid of LTTE Terrorists so people can live peacefully!

[july0025]

War again..?? Can Srilankan Army Win..?? Do you think so..??

Sorry may, I heard this type of storry more then 15 years... Early that tame before Srilanka Had stong economy.. But know.??

You can't Win..! Even you win.. Singalist get nothing.. Srilanka will be like Ethiopia..

[july0025]

War again..?? Can Srilankan Army Win..?? Do you think so..??

Sorry may, I heard this type of storry more then 15 years... Early that time or before that Srilanka Had stong economy.. But now.??

You can't Win..! Even you win.. Singalist get nothing.. Srilanka will be like Ethiopia..

[Solja2010]

peace talks have been nothing but an advantage for LTTE terrorists. At the time of peacetalks they even smuggled air craft parts to build their own 2 planes so they can go kamakazee bombing on Sri Lankan cities!

[Prabhakaran999999999]

peace talks never work man and tamils are nothing but trouble eventhough im a tamil its so sad as a fact. and i grow up in marawela, colombo and never faced anything like that with my sinhalese neighbors. for tigers this is like an excuse always use that same old story which doesnt even have any proofs. i say go and fight and finish the LTTE terrorists man!

[MahasohonBrigade]

héhéhéhéhé same false story , for later claim an homeland with the help of international community MOuhahahahahaha

but dont dream , the world never accept that , AND OF course SL ARE GREAT AND PRIDE SINGHALA CONTRY , we DONT NEED the adivice of "white colonialist"

we are not tamils WHO GIVE THEIR own asses to their white masterS héhéhéhé

[Bhakthi7]

lol July0025 is playing the same fake ass old violin that all the ltte terrorist supporters play. The fighting so far have proven the whole world how lame the ltte terrorists are and how much they have lost the war, as always all they do is talk a bunch of made up crap in the internet behind the computer monitor.

[july0025]

I can see Singalist Good culture.. you got langue proplam mayd..

You people can't changed...

I will give money to LTTE to difend Tamil people.. Thata All I can say...

[YDD007]

Yes that's good mate. Give all your money. Then Prabha can buy more weapons and spend for his daughters education.

Try to realise the reality mate!

Can you ever believe a person as a survivor,who kills his own race (tamils)??

Now don't tell that he didn't kill tamils coz from the begining it self from Dureyyappa untill Kadirgamar, and now Maheshwara he killed Tamils and still counting.

[Kumarsinga]

So what you think about your Srilankan Singgala Leaders doing..?? American Mahinda Brothers Doing better bussiness... The name of the War..!

Those people want War to make money...

But Pirabakaran if he Want only money. He can get from Srilankan gov and make his life to be Very Rich and settle in a forin contry.. With out any hustle..

Like Karuna...

[YDD007]

Part 2

When will you people realise the true picture of Prabha? He doesn't want to be the Tamil's saviour mate... He just want to earn some money coz he is from a low cast (Sakkili). And casts play a big role in Tamil society ain't it?

[YDD007]

Part 3

Finally,

Prabha is recruiting tamil small children as his soldiers. Can you trust a person who kills the future generation of your race? Tamils will eventually extinct from the earth surface soon if he continue it buddy.

[YDD007]

Part 4

Plz realise the truth and support the reality.

There isn't a conflict between Tamils and Sinhalese people in Sri Lanka. Only the problem is between Tamil and Sinhala politicians. (Tamil politicians = LTTE)

OK let's say if GOSL gives you your dream eelam. will you go and live in your eelam.. haha No mate. I have many Tamil friends in here. (Aus) No body is going to live in eelam. coz it sux. They support is coz if not, it will cost their lives.

Cheers!

[Bhakthi7]

To find the exact truth why don't you Aljazeera team go to Sri Lanka North & SOuth and check the difference for your self.

[Kumarsinga]

Do you think with out Amy interruption Prss can work..?? If so I am happy to wellcome..

Good.

[Bhakthi7]

what do u mean?

[MahasohonBrigade]

héhéh Even tamil historyan and proffesor are against a tamils "homeland" in sl ..

and even 63 millions OF tamils who live in tamil'S nadu dont call themself a "nation"

[withhonesty]

Separatist Tamils misled by a psychopath leader are perpetrating a terrible crime, killing thousands of innocent civilians in their greedy war.Young Tamils have been brainwashed with distorted history and poisoned with racial hatred over 3 decades. All to grab land they don't even have a historical claim for. Help bring peace by helping the Lankan government get rid of the cancer of Tamil Tiger terrorism.

[bloodpolitics]

If you need to know about "TAMIL struggle" against viciously cunning and brutally oppressive Sri lankan state...please visit youtube[.com]/bloodpolitics

[johnvdws]

I have never seen this type of organized terrorist gang, when they post video comments about their schools bombed by Kafirs ( which is utter lie , you can see it from the children they are forced to act like that. ) Its completely a drama they have here posted above. But the bad thing is theses morons killing very innocent people in those poor villages. Now today LTTE terrorists target schoolchildren in bus bomb - Monaragala.

[maravan4u]

Only way to solve this ethnic problem is by recognizing Tamils quest for self-determination. Tamil people had accords with Sri Lankan government in 1960s, 1970s but SL government never fulfilled Tamils aspirations instead it cheated them and broke the accords. Therefore International Community should get involved and Tamils should be able to govern North and East as these are Tamils inhabitant land. So that Singhalese and Tamil people can live with peace & dignity.

[johnvdws]

can you pls explain self-determination.?

[Kumarsinga]

you are Noth India. come to south India (Inc Eelam) MIX with people began Singalist. Bring your Riligent From North India too.

So Srilanka is not your Contry.

[MahasohonBrigade]

"self determination" : occupation , colonisation ,etnic cleasning of INDIGENOUS peoples , by south indians invanders ....

THAT is the meaning of "self determination" for ltte

ps:can i have a self dertermination in france ??? , uk ?? usa ????

ha--------ha------ha

[maravan4u]

Hello Mahaso...

Please go to school & try to learn what is the meaning of the word self-determination.

Even though you are, 24 yrs old but you are writing like a illiterate.

It is so funny that you are comparing UK, France, and USA with a failed state Srilanka. In western country, there is 100% democracy and minorities have the same equal right as majority people. In Srilanka minorities (Tamils) treated as second class. Complete discrimination in SL.

[MahasohonBrigade]

tamils was the VERY PRVILEGED "race" during the colonisation .....

tamils are invaders from tamil nadu

tamils try to creat a tamils rasism in ceylon for later claim an homeland (hahaha)

"tamils rasism" in sl are created by tamils themself .... cause they know they canot claim our soil by historycaly proof .....héhé

tamils practice rasism agaisnt singhaless during british periode

[MahasohonBrigade]

and loooser héhé my english is bad CAUZ im not born in SL or in UK , im born in FRANCE , héhé and i dont like english shite language , BUT i know you understand what i wrote ....

tamils must go BACK to tamils nadu ,

agaisnt a seconde tamils homeland IN SL

against a second tamil nadu

against south-indains-invaders-tamils-­zionists

[QuasiEvilScott]

Riz:

With the way things are today - I'm at a loss for how peace exists anywhere. It seems like all actions produce more violence, be them good in intention, or not. People have to want to stop fighting to stop fighting, and I know of no way to convince people to want anything, or to not want anything. If someone figures that out, they'll be rich for life.

-Qes

[tubezulfi]

The confronting parties must go back to the CFA days. How? All pro-peace Sri Lankns - business community, NGO community, non-racist patriotic groups either individullay or together must lobby with regional and international bodies to presurise the Govt. and LTTE to go back to the CFA. The peace dividend were too high and cost of war too great to be thrown away by explosions and angry parliamentry resolutions. - Farwin (Sri Lankan in Doha)

[johnvdws]

I have never seen this type of organized terrorist gang, when they post video comments about their schools bombed by Kafirs ( which is utter lie , you can see it from the children they are forced to act like that. ) Its completely a drama they have here posted above. But the bad thing is theses morons killing very innocent people in those poor villages. Now today LTTE terrorists target schoolchildren in bus bomb - Monaragala.

[Kumarsinga]

Even SLMM know about your Lie. you people don't want to know propalms of Tamils. That is the contrys main proplam.

It will go separate

[johnvdws]

Bomb blast - LTTE Kills 23 in Buttala Sri Lanka. Today 15 January, 2008

[Kumarsinga]

Srilanka God 100 Gangs of every party.. they all got wepons..

But easy to blame LTTE with out evdence

[johnvdws]

hahaha . kidding us ??

[Kumarsinga]

Bad tast. And no idea of your future. Even united Srilanka got no future. That is Reality.

your politicians never let Srilanka Be a on Contry.

[Pimbupongal]

Sri lanka should be a single country, No two countries.

as a example i would like to say,

People has right to devide a country in to part as long as they migrate to a land, here in USA, many migrants lived together for ages.

Are they allowed to ask seperate state for Tamils who migrate here just being in USA for generations?

what will happen If tamils in USA, asking seperate state for them in USA?

[MahasohonBrigade]

tamil nadu the only solution if you love peace

CAUSE E CAN do the war FOR more 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000 years if we must do that .... the south indians invanders must go back ,like english ,portuguess invaders doing many years ago ..............................­.....

[Kumarsinga]

Yes bose You are Right.

Srilanka was part of south India.. That was the History.. don't you know that.?

[MahasohonBrigade]

héhéhéh loooser when sl was ""part"" of south india , THE human race dont existe IN this world ..........

sl broke with india about 200 millions years ago during the "pangea phenomenom"

and in this periode even dynosorus dont exist ,so : hahhahahahahahahahahahha

[wenura]

even if you get it poor tamils would still be poor and those who are rich and powerful will continue to enjoy what they enjoy now. do you think it will be a different situation when we all know how pirapaharan and his clan runs hotels and other places and earn money and make it possible for his children to get educated while the masses are engaged in a useless bloody war.

[wenura]

stop talking about tamil eelam. no right thinking person agrees on that. no country in the world can accept that. i don't understand why these tamil people can not understand the realities and stop using their poor brethren for some dream pirapaharan and the rest of rich tamil people propagate.

[Fixhist]

Tamils insurgency has been going on for a while now. Sinhalese and Tamils have their disputes which need to be resolved.

There is a debatable fine line between insurgency/freedom fighters and acts of terror.

Militancy is result of denial of human dignity, broken promises on national level or denial of equal rights.

[MahasohonBrigade]

tamil , "riots"(response) are directly caused by prabakaran when he and his barabrians south indian invanders gang kill 13 BRAVE pur and pride sla soldiers ...........

these great soldiers was not in patrol , they was not in military action ....

[alienelite]

Terrorism is really a crime and therefore defense is largely a security issue. To stop terrorists, lots of survelence and guards are a must for any kind of potential target. This must be combined with national control of weapons and control of explosives. It is apparently quite easy to find suicide bombers but more difficult to make the explosives.

[UnitedOffensiveIII]

and By Now you have Nazi Germany people would revolt and you end up with 5 times or 100 per cent more terrorist.

[alienelite]

before wwI there were a group of terrorists called the anarchists that assassinated heads of state. they eventually assassinated Archduke Ferdinand which caused WWI. That finally stopped them.

[supermaxter]

For complete story on Tamil Tigers, visit FBI web site or link

fbi. gov/page2/jan08/tamil_tigers01­1008.html

[supermaxter]

According to FBI top story, Tamil Tigers are among the most dangerous and deadly extremists in the world. They have murdered some 4,000 people in the past two years alone and have inspired terrorist groups like al Qaeda. And they have operatives here in our own backyard. Learn how we are working to stop the Tamil Tigers.

[Birundan]

Tamil Eelam is only one solution.

[Fixhist]

Manhakom !

[Birundan]

Tamil Eelam is only one solution.

[ragukum]

Tamil Eelam is only one solution.

[TAMARLANE]

Nuke 'em all I say!

[kurda08]

sort yourselves out before its too late other wise westners poison you just like they did to us in iraq

[TAMARLANE]

Yeah, you should get your shit together before some adult supervision will have to come in and help motivate you to sort it all out.

[QuasiEvilScott]

Now now Tamar...

I'm overwhelmed by the -ism related violence in the world. We need to get rid of -isms.

People should be less attached to race, creed, and their 'people'. It seems to me like the only large-scale peaceable solutions involve integration of many cultures. Canada works very well. America works (in this sense) very well.

Everyone needs to embrace a melting pot or tapestry attitude, and stop excluding one another.

-Qes

[TAMARLANE]

Nuke 'em all I say!

[QuasiEvilScott]

Ha.

-Qes

[wenura]

What we all have to understand is that there are so many tamils who do white collar jobs in sinhalese areas and some of them are extremely rich and we never hear any stories about sinhalese people harrasing them due to what they enjoy as citizens. All they have to face in those areas are the random checkups carried out by the forces in the face of this LTTE terrorism.

[wenura]

when one considers all the considerations i honestly think an indian model quasi federal solution would satisfy both parties and would solve all these issues. As time goes by we will become the one nation again and a referendum should be held to determine if this model to be further continued or not. by that time we will come to a better understanding on all these issues.

[wenura]

But, one cannot deny the fact that there were certain injustices meted out to tamils at the hands of sinhalese in 1984. Although it was done by only a small monority of the sinhalese it fuelled the hatred feelings and suspicions we already had towards each other and we have become a nation that fights with own brother and sister. Hence, i think there must be a solution that satisfies tamils who went through the agony of being victimised to those horrendous incidents.

[wenura]

Well, there is no clear history to prove which race came to sri lanka first or where we originally come from be it tamil or sinhalese. But, we both have long history to our own stories. Therefore, i think this country belongs to tamils as much as it belongs to sinhalese. But, when we try to arrive at a solution we all know how a democracy works. since the sinhalese are majority no solution without their support would be feasible. Therefore, a separate land for tamils is out of the question

[wenura]

Well, let me try to find a middle ground that we can use to come to a solution. Although, by birth i am a sinhalese i am a humanbeing first. Therefore, i do not care what race a person belongs to as long as that person is right. unfortunately, i cannot see any good views here. so i would like to mention my own view on this issue

[saralam85]

should devide the country  in to two, tamil's for north and east, rest of the area for sinhala

[MahasohonBrigade]

héhéhéh you can dream for ever(not for long time when we kill prabass nearly hihi)

we never give OUR ONLY ONE contry to south indians invanders !

we NEVER ACCEPT A SECONDE TAMIL CONTRY IN OUR SOIL !

we , NEVER accept a seconde tamil nadu IN SL

we never accept the humiliation ....

so , WE CAN DO the war for 1000000000000000years if we must do that , we do that with plessure ....BUT we never give ONE MILIMETER of our GREAT and only littel beautufull ISLAND

[johnvdws]

Well we have to accept the truth. Which is Sinhalese are the majority. The very best solution is if Tamils (LTTE) supporters cannot live in SRi Lanka with majority Sinhalese even after making everything possible to live in sri lanka, then they can go aboard or to a Tamil Nadu by boats.

[johnvdws]

If we give a solution to Tamil Problem it should be passed by majority of Sinhalese. If majority don't like it then. It will be sorry story. International community can't force to a democratically elected government to do this do that. We are an independent country. I know most of peace loving Tamils living with major Sinhalese in Sri Lanka. And Sri Lanka do care about tamils too. That is why we are trying to give them some kind of power.

[ragukum]

What kind of power...??

[khilladie]

The best solution is to have two different states. That way the Tamils can live in peace, and the sinhalease can live in peace. I do not know why it is so hard for to have two different state.

[MahasohonBrigade]

TAMILS MUST GO BACK TO TAMIL NADU !!!

thats all !

all scientist are agree : tamils have any right to claim the homeland of singhaless ...

if not ! british invaders, portugess invanders , duth invanders ect ...have right to claim SL as their homelan ??????!!!!

tamils are south indians INVANDERS anybody cant deny that ................

[july0025]

Vijayan is from North India... he is the one funder of singalist... budisam is not Srilankan Rood its also From North India...

So Singalist Langue is Began From North Indian "Pali" (Oriyan) Langue.. So they have to go Back.. Is that is Right...??

[MahasohonBrigade]

singhala GREAT race are BORN IN CEYLON (WE are MIXED with local tribs)

singhala language ARE BORN IN CEYLON, Sighala great culture are BORN in ceylon ....

BUT tamil are still dravidian ,hindu , and they are south indians invanders ...

why the majorirty of these "race" live in south inda in a state called "tamil'S nadu"(its MEAN TAMIL'S CONTRY !!)

63 MILLIONS OF TAMILS IN TAMIL'S nadu

and only 2 MILLIONS IN SL ....

WHY ,???????????????

[maravan4u]

Singhala race was born after criminal Vijaya with 400 assistances were kicked out of the Indian state Orisa and landed in Eelam. Singhala language was formed form stealing words from Tamil, Pali and Sanskrit languages. Most of these Singhalese people don't even look light skinned, how can they claim to be Arian decedents? I don't understand.

[pvatham]

The only way to end the Srilankan conflict is to find the moderate Tamil voices and provide them complete diplomatic support and pressurize the Srilankan government to accept their demands. The Srilankan government by allowing the killing of moderate leaders by the terrorist LTTE is trying to equate all Srilankan Tamils to the LTTE.

[july0025]

As I am Tamil. My intention to Go separate from the Srilankan singalist... that's only solution can save Tamils Lifes. That is Tamil Eelam.

We don't wont pease talk. that will broke down any time, as it is now... We can't belive Singalist.

[MahasohonBrigade]

MOUhahahah you can dream .....

tamils have an homeland in south ins=dian called tamil nadu (its mean "tamils's contry")

63 MILLIONS OF TAMILS LIVE IN TAMILNADU

and only 2 MILLIONS IN SL !!!!

THEY COME TO SL BY INVASION ,COLONISATION they kiked out all singhaless who live during many century in noth east !!........

no homeland in sl for these invanders thats SURE !!!

and NO homeland for them to this world ! im against that !

[july0025]

You shout learn history... go back to school.

[johnvdws]

yes you can go sepearte and form a new country in TamilNadu NOT IN SRI LANKA.

BYE BYE>

[july0025]

We Will Add Tamil Eelam and Tamil Nadu togther..!

Then all will be Tamilnadu..

[johnvdws]

In your dreams....

[ragukum]

Then you got No plase to go... It will be sad.. i know..

[kakapi]

i wonder how very small Tamil Tigers got Military Aircraft, Tanks, missiles and manny latest military wepons? it must be provided bt India, in one side india gives wepons to Srilankan goverment to curb tamil tigers, another side india also secretly give wepons to tamil tighers. i dont know any solution, its a very complex matter, anyway this problem will be short out soon, srilankan gov has said they will catch tamil tighers leader verysoon.

[kakapi]

[kakapi]
