but u keep asking how we deal with sucide bombers who blow themselves up in middle of civilians. u people never mention how sinhala people feel after bus full of them blown up by tamil terrorists. u hypocrit!!

I feel deeply sorry for what happened to these innocent Tamils.they deserve freedom as anyone else in the world.But it doesn't mean that we should allow terrorists in the country.LTTE is the most ruthless terrorist organization.for media this is a great story to make money.for Tamil Diaspora is a big blow to their pride and ego.

i think you should shut the fuck up and help these people to return to normality.

@TamilDestiny so velu still runing? velu faild u all?..aiooooooooo

[prashanw]

@goodbyelonglive44 well british are only responsible for the problems here. they imposed divide and rule along with altering demographics here.

[prashanw]

@willesdon LTTE only created the humanitarian catastrophe by not allowing civilians to flee. LTTE forcefully took the civilians from the west coast to the east coast of sri lanka making them so exhausted that they became no longer interested in war.

[willesdon]

he horific , terrible , devastaion and loss of lives among us eelam tamils / exile eelam tamils(Tamildiasporas) can never be explained in any words WHY VELU DID ALL TO US?. That is why moths long Tamildiasporas held massive demonstrations/protest actions Worldwide to awaken the Western World Leaders to interviene and to Stop the LTTE BEING Genocide " Bloodbath on Beech of LTTE" lastphase of war. The same western countrys who accepted us as citizens with dignit

@prashanw They were both with him, I am not accusing anyone, but it was the nastiest thing ever to happen in the world for a millitary .if LTTE did it, they took 5 birds in one stone..if anyone inside did it, it is no wonder. When Rajasinghe II was fighting Portugese, most people were on Portugese side although Rajasinghe won..and it was sri lankans that carried british genoside of Kandyan youths...so it is possible it was done for jelousy...but had it not happaned none of this will chaos happen

@goodbyelonglive44

yes kobbakaduwa would have been capable of finishing the war. premadasa may be involved too. had gota stayed here rather than going to USA, premadasa would have killed him. i cant understand your last sentence. you mean SF and gotabhaya may be responsible for kobbakaduwa's death? sorry it is unclear

[prashanw]

@goodbyelonglive44 Yes British committed genocide of sinhalese. yes regarding world war 2, carpet bombing of dresden and rest of germany is genocide! so the allies must be punished by giving parts of UK, USA for germany to rule since they want to use war crimes in sri lanka to carve out eelam! not only that part of USA must be given for iraq, vietnam, panama to rule since those places were illegally invaded by americans unlike we who only wanted to take back what was duly ours

[goodbyelonglive44]

@prashanw Not LTTE...During British time, the British ordered the genoside of Kandyans...after Uva Reballion.. they only punished war crimes now because they wanted to use it to defeat Germany in ww2....

yet there was a man like Kobbakaduwa still alive in KAndy, he would have finished the war 10 years ago if he wasnt killed by jelousy..he was too competant to die in war..may be LTTE did it, but Premadasa and top millitary men also responsible in eequal chances...SF Gotabaya they all knew him
