The Wickremasinghe Administration Continues 'TigerDancing'

The Wickremasinghe Administration continues unabated with its flagrantn and rather comical attitude of TigerDancing! which pays little or no consideration to the core issues imperative towards the needs for survival of the Nation and its unitarity while prioritising the need for its own survival and those of the outlawed LTTE, at times depicted as feasible through the ignorance of certain mediators projecting the LTTE as an entity with a right to exist despite its criminal nature where all else screams out to the contrary, for their dismantling, apprehending and being brough to justice.

The LTTE have displayed on more than one occassion the nagging reality that they in an almost incomprehensible manner exist against all odds and lately have begun conniving brilliantly with the UNF which through its own blatant opposition to Presidential Accords indicate LTTE favouritism regardless of the concerns expressed by the Presidency.It is an affront to the Majority Sinhalese rather perceptibly represented by the major opposition Sinhala parties who have indicated their greatest displeasure where the time is probably at hand when a confrontation is bound to ensue to the detriment of the Nation and the great satisfaction of the LTTE although the blinkered Prime Minister and his cohorts may not realise it or in some nefarious manner are willing to bear the consquences.Perhaps even having their rear ends kicked ignominiously or sinking in a political quagmire!

Despite the exhortations by countries like Japan and Norway to the effect that there are rights and privileges the LTTE are entitled to by virtue of their presence in Sri Lanka and their falsified identity as representatives of the Tamil Community it is a meaningless dialogue based on logical interpretations and the norms of democracy in the free world and if this was the attitude adopted by the USA and the UK in how they confronted international terrorism there still would be an active presence of Al Quaeda and Saddam Hussein in the world of today together with the rest of the outlawed terror groups whose days are numbered being sought after by international law enforcement agencies !.

That the moves of the Wickremasinghe Administration in favouring, conceding and dancing to every LTTE request which now is more a form of bickering as the LTTE seem hesitant to resort to direct threats (the deterrents being obvious!) is a travesty of justice for the Sri Lankan people seems very apparent.They have created great anxieties in the hearts and minds of the Sinhalese whose inherant right towards being an uncontested majority and the privileges which go with it are being questioned by the apathetic direction of the Administration which continues to pull the wool over the eyes of the Nation and bend in favour of theLTTE at every turn!

Spineless and absolutely condescending as the Government appears to be in the manner it approaches the Peace Process now being used as a pawn by the LTTE to prevent the Government from taking the necessary steps in the right direction towards protecting the Sovereign and Territorial Integrity of Sri Lanka there seems to be a method in the madness of consorting and conceding to terrorist demands if one were to interpret the double standards being used by the Western and Asian Mediators involved purely for the sake of peace which pays no thought to constitutional principles and the long term integrity of Sri Lanka as a whole and taking into consideration the inroads gained by the LTTE thus far as something to be fearful of and rightly so! But such a negative perspective can only be envisioned in the eyes of a submissive few who are afraid to question the LTTE and stand up to their bluff which is probably of primarty importance in the game of they have been playing for sometime now as they appear to be more than convinced rather misguidedly that they have the upper hand which they categorically do not! If their vulnerabilities were exploited equitably and prudently they are more than likely to end up being a mere statistic and something the Wickremasinghe Administration probably needs to be educated about! One merely has to ask a certain Ambassador serving overseas who was denied the right to disband them completely for reasons best known to those who gave the order to desist!

The empasis of the LTTE's Terrorist status is important towards convincing the world at large promoting an unconditional peace dialogue with the constant reminder that they have been outlawed internationally, their leadership sought after for crimes against a Sovereign Nation and Humanity and that they have no right to be involved in proliferation of weapons and cadre which they continue to do in addition to their self imposed bogus administrations in the North and North east which the present Lame duck administrations does not have the nerve to outlaw, confront and discontinue as a constitutional violation and in this sense are better off handing the reins of Governance to an entity better equipped and more courageous to to call the LTTE bluff and stand upto them unlike the webfooted myopic visioned likes of the Marapones, Peirises, Moragodas, Fernandos and Wickremasinghes who seem to be ready to betray the Nation towards their own ends while creating a mantle of doubt and subterfuge which precedes their every administrative and military manouvre!
