The LTTE Command No Privileges
Nor Rights To Restitution And Need To Be Dealt With Appropriately!
As much as fortunes towards the Peace Process being eventually etched
in stone appear diminished towards effective realities notwithstanding
the handshakes, Cheshire cat grins, the perusing of firearms and contraband
through official and unofficial means it is a simple reflection upon
the reality that the Tamil tigers ably assisted by their proxies and
other supportives while prefering to remain an unrelenting group towards
their ambitions cannot be rehabilitated, democratised nor brought to
their senses where effecting due process seems the only alternative
remaining to the powers that be. No mean task but perhaps an essential
one!
It is gradually beginning to sink in to the more discerning that no
amount of dialogue or exchange of ideas seemingly beneficial to both
parties involved in the peace negotiations will bring absolute resolution
to the problem at hand, perhaps appreciably and temporarily at best.
It is really upto all the forces which denounce and decry the activities,
idealogies and mentalities of the LTTE to join hands to defeat them
and wipe them off the map totally which seems Hobson's choice given
the circumstances and all the related duplicitous factors the LTTE project
as sincere and well intentioned towards the necessary pluralities and
sensibilities while not forgetting that it is the only means towards
their survival and hence the glorified portrayal of surreal sincerities!.
Foremost towards promoting the cause is the importance of the USA's
recent hardline attitude of zero tolerance against the LTTE which it
is hoped is one of continuity and that the USA maintains their Tiger
berating stance where collective bans against the LTTE involving the
USA, in like manner of the EU and other nations opposed to the modus
operandi of the Tiger organization combined with imposing strict UN
sanctions should send a clear message to them.
Rather than dancing to their tunes which seemed to be the case at the
preliminary talks in Geneva where the tigers have returned to their
enclaves smacking their chops about their successes, a concerted effort
now has to be made by the powers that be to disillussion them that they
are going nowhere except towards the end of the road hopefully sooner
than later if their attitude does not change towards incorporating a
decommissioning of weapons, denouncing separatist objectives invalidating
de facto area acquisitions voluntarily rather than awaiting Governmental
coercion while continuing their mendacious means, as of late veiled,
on a journey which has never really digressed from the original one
they embarked upon towards secession!
In the simplest of terms the LTTE who seem to have weakened after the
Tsunami batterings to much of their resources need to be further weakened
and their ambitions run to ground based upon the arrogance they have
shown together with much disrespect towards the Sovereign Nation of
Sri Lanka and its current leadership where they have no right whatsoever
to demand restitution as long as they continue in the guise of fully
armed terrorists who aren't even fully representative of the Tamil populace
and simply believe so in pretense and through innuendo and their projected
charades to attract the world at large.
Reflecting further upon the need to justify the Administration's progress
towards this Fait Acompli it has to be acknowledged that the LTTE have
boldly proclaimed their (self imposed)authority in parts of the North
and East of Sri Lanka and as of late emphasized without legitimate means
their intentions to further assert this claim almost as a direct challenge
to the Rajapakse Leadership and appear headed for dire straits despite
all the factors which in reality should discourage them but then, as
such is LTTE arrogance despite the deck stacked heavily against them!
There is even this latest statistical report compiled by intelligence
sources that their real numbers are no more than a head count of 1900
+ - verifiable cadre and their purported child recruitment continuation
thereby relative to this reality.
The anti-LTTE forces within and without Sri Lanka now have a major role
to play where to every degree possible they must prioritise a means
to stress the importance of their presence and their strength towards
the cause increased through unity and complete intolerance of everything
linked to the LTTE. As an example of what they need to emphasize are
the accomplishments of the LTTE over decades of fighting which has amounted
to little or nothing beneficial to the Tamil Community per se other
than to compound their distresses and estrange them further from the
rest of the Nation earning a deep rooted hatred by some within their
own community over the futilities of LTTE modus operandi !
That the LTTE therefore are enemies of the State is an understatement
beyond all norms of rationality given the simple fact that they are
terrorists despite their rhetoric and have no entitlements to any negotiated
settlement which will simply augment their ego and continued aspirations
and there should be a relentless pursuit by all world powers which uphold
democracy and due process towards bringing these criminals to justice
rather than providing them with platforms and Carte Blanche to acheive
their objectives and augmenting global laughter which is bound to reverberate
through every global community demanding a peaceful world order and
awestruck at the leeway this particular group of proscribed terrorists
seem to be having in Sri Lanka!
