The LTTE & the Tamil Diaspora have fooled their own people

With every advance made by the military it was obvious that the Tamil Diaspora was getting more & more agitated. Thus the acid attacks, the vandalism to the Sri tLanka High Commissions, attacks on Sinhala businesses & even Buddhist temples were not spared.

Why is it that only POOR TAMILs – those poverty striken & low caste ended up the stooges of the LTTE. Why were these downtrodden Tamils made into suicide bombers & killer machines. Throughout the 3 decades of LTTE terror in Sri Lanka the LTTE was making USD300million annually (Janes Intelligence) Given the argument that the Sri Lankan Government was not looking afterƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ the Tamil people, instead of buying armsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ & ammunition why did the Tamil Diaspora not help their own Tamil people – the poor & low castes enjoy a better life, providing vocational training to those that lacked education instead of brainwashing them into killers.

Of the Tamil Diaspora & the LTTE supporters even in Colombo & even the Tamil politicians a very simple question is asked – Why fool your own people?

If the Tamil Diaspora who are so concerned about human rights abuses, genocide, discrimination etc….instead of holding placards in foreign climes & spendingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ a few hours on the road, why did not these Tamil Diaspora members come & take up arms against thet Sri Lankan state? Instead, the Tamil Diaspora continued to live their lives, gain permanent residency & through the LTTE they ensure impoverished Tamils are made into killers….! If at all human rights abuses are investigated all the pro-LTTE Tamil Diaspora must be tried for ruining the lives of over 50,000 LTTE combatants over a 3 decade period where almost all of them are now dead. There are over 230,000 people in IDP camps – from the initial numbers saved by Sri Lanka’s armed forces it was evident to all how poor these people actually were. Most of themƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ could not even remember when they had eaten 3 meals a day. It was alsoƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ evident ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ that the last lot of civilians who were also saved by Sri Lanka’s military that they were clothed better, they had gold & they certainly had no want of food – these were the Mahavir families who obviously were well looked after by the LTTE as they provided save haven for the LTTE.

Tragically, hiding behind a propaganda message that feigned Sinhala discrimination – it is more than evident that both the LTTE & the Tamil Diaspora were playing with the lives of the poorest of Tamils, taking their children & making them into killers. Eventually, Prabakaran himself came to be taken for a ride by the very Tamil DIaspora whose key men must now be wondering how to distribute the LTTE wealth having realized it is better to declare Prabakaran & his family all dead living them the opportunity to enjoy their looting.
