Sidetracking The Government's Push Towards Eliminating The LTTE By So Called Socialist Rhetoric, Anti Social From A Sinhala Perspective!

November 5th 2007

It is important to highlight the item under the caption"Sri Lankan Military 'Assassinates' LTTE Political leader In Air Strike" recently presented as a news item on the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS)and to put the real truth of the matter into perspective so that the Global Community can truly understand the importance of targetting this individual who was a terrorist and a criminal and the term assassinate perhaps inapplicable as opposed to elimination which would seem more appropriate.

What is most disturbing and disconcerting about such news reports and particularly in this instance is that they are posted by Sinhalese who seem to have forgotten their loyalties to their motherland, their real heritage and allegiance towards patriotism and the inability to be able to differentiate between a terrorist and a true freedom fighter which title cannot be applied to anyone within the LTTE being condemned and procribed terrorists and the recent rumblings around the world about the Sri Lankan Government not pursuing a proper path towards resolving the Nation's woes are consequently to a greater extent projected by the concoctions and mythical presentations of such items which is a pity and a travesty of justice which also makes the Government's task arduous and more complicaticated towards closure and resolution.

The recently deposed LTTE terrorist leader S.P. Thamilchelvan, albeit portrayed as a top negotiator for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) also has a grisly track record inasmuch as his predecessor Anton Balasingham (now deceased also) who had free passage in and out of the UK, permission to live there with impunity and carte blanche to continue villifying the Sri Lankan nation due to the exact same conceptions as the subject under reference which is false presentation by many global media of these individuals as being legitimate law abiding human beings when they in reality were the Devil's Advocates, criminals and murderers at a conservative estimation and perhaped steeped in deeper evils.

While detracting from the real crimes linkable to the individuals concerned through the many false presentations as in the case of Thamilchelvan they simply cannot be swept under the carpet and need to be exposed.

It has to be acknowledged that this individual, a terrorist leader was killed in a legitimate air strike by the Sri Lankan Air Force near the northern LTTE stronghold of Kilinochchi early Friday morning and the Armed Forces should have no trepidations about carrying out such tasks vital towards the well being of the Nation while shrugging aside puerile criticisms and to attest to this there are many plaudits and accollades towards a task well done coming from around the world by many discerning sources while there also are the negative responses which are to be expected for obvious reasons from disgruntled Tamil diaspora beginning to see Eelam as an unattainable pipe dream.

In an overall perspective this action by the Air Force perhaps heralds the beginning of the end of the terrorists where Sri Lanka could well be on the verge of a New Era towards prosperity, development and terrorist free as the die seems to have been cast towards Governmental incentives that make a concerted forward push towards ridding the nation of the LTTE a mandatory effort.

The raid, which turned out to be a clinically accurate mission in the aftermath of the botched LTTE attempt to overrun an Airforce Base which also resulted in the deaths of five other senior LTTE officials and there are many discerning analysts who believe there may be other important names among those killed although the LTTE are not divulging them being reluctant to face the ignominy of it all but they should rest assured that worse may follow!

For any public newscasters to even suggest as the WSWS has "that the deliberate targetting of Thamilchelvan exposes the absurdity of the Sri Lankan Government’s claims to be abiding by the 2002 ceasefire agreement and its occasional calls for a negotiated end to the country’s long-running civil war is typical of the type of anti Governmental rhetoric this idealogical group seems to indulge in regularly through media hype as though they have a mission to continue throwing wrenches into the smooth functioning of the Sinhala Nation and the organisers of this setup if they consider themselves Sinhalese should hang their heads in shame!

They seem to have forgotten for their own conveniences perhaps that it was the LTTE who broke the conditions of the ceasefire and the hand of the Government was forced towards establishing all the necessary measures to ensure National Security and no matter who says what to the contrary the Government is indeed fully justified in the direction it has taken towards eliminating the LTTE who are internationally proscribed terrorists and the sooner they acheive the objective the better it will be for the Nation as well as the entire region of South Asia!
