Sri Lanka's Battle Against LTTE Terrorism | Part 1

This is an interview given by a retired us department of state employee who was a political specialist at the American embassy in Sri Lanka. He describes how Sri Lanka has been misunderstood by the international community in her struggle against Tamil tiger (LTTE) terrorism.
He brings forward facts using his broad experience as a political analyst and researcher in Sri Lankas American Embassy for 25 years
He says that all ethnic communities, Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and plantation Indian Tamils who were domiciled in the countrys 77% rural areas got a raw deal for many decades creating grievances among all communities. He contends that LTTE terrorism and Tamil grievances are two separate issues.

helptamils, That is exactly the problem. European Union only worry about human rights of terrorists, not the government and innocent civilians. This is why I mentioned world is looking at Sri Lanka upside down. Why no one talk about human rights when LTTE planes flew over to building in Colombo, that is not the only example, like attacked on Central Bank, Seems like LTTE have not done any grave violations of human right by sending suicide bombers and blew up in front of people.

TinTin, I totally agree. When dehiwala train blew up, central bank blew up, buses blew up, markets and public locations blew up, leaders like Lakshman Kadiragamar assasinated, when live videos shown of how suicide bombers blow themselves up in front of people, where is the so called "International Community" talking about human rights? Yes, like you said, the world is looking at Sri Lanka up side down, left side right and all that!
