To Accommodate The LTTE In
The Present State Of Unrest In Sri Lanka Would Be Lunacy.

Responding to the lunatic repartee of SPThamilselvam who seems to have
over emphasized his laughter evoking rhetoric that the LTTE have claimed
sovereignty over the land, sea and air in that part of the Sri Lankan
North and East, which it controls de facto. and that"Nobody has
the right to pass judgement on the 'sovereign rights ' of our access
to the adjacent sea and airspace of our homelands" it can only
be said in through a somewhat grass roots Sinhala adage that dogs also
bark at the moon with little accomplishment ensuing!" The latest
cacaphony of the so called head of the LTTE's political wing, SP Tamilselvan
which has been spewed at a meeting with Maj Gen Ulf Ericsson, the head
of the Nordic truce monitors, when the latter met him in Kilinochchi
on Friday seems somewhat desperate and muddled and perhaps worth paying
attention to only for its entertainment value inasmuch as was the jester
in King Arthur's Court!
Lunacy almost always precedes violence when it happens to be demented
lunatics who lead the political as well as insurgent cadres of any terrorist
faction and the LTTE being a group associated with conscienceless terrorism
and Thamilselvams' outburts have been linked to their futile cause for
secession alone and have been closely followed up by the shameful LTTE
attacks on Sri Lankan Navy Transport Vessel where it is the LTTE who
have paid a heavier price despite the loss of some 17 Sailors and a
greater part of the attempt to overrun the Naval craft carrying close
to a 1000 personnel off the coast of Point Pedro in Northern Sri Lanka
thwarted where they have made it to safety due to prompt retaliatory
action by the Sri Lankan Armed Forces with air and ground support.
That the LTTE have brazenly challenged the Sri Lankan government's
sovereign rights over the sea around the Island Nation in the North
and North east of Sri Lanka, and attacked Sri Lankan Naval craft which
also had international truce monitors (thus far one being unaccounrted
for on a very serious note) on board, goes to prove the desperate nature
of their latest direction where consequently the truce monitors have
condemned the LTTE actions and have supported the Sri Lankan Government's
stand which simply relates to Sri Lanka's Sovereignity and Territorial
Integrity, within all the statutes of international law and Thamiselvam's
claims idiotic, baseless and needing to be trashed for good measure.
Perhaps it is fast becoming a contention that the Government of Sri
Lanka has no obligations towards the irresponsibilities of the likes
of Thamilselvam and his cronies who are internationally proscribed terrorists
tolerated only in Sri Lanka for some mind boggling reason where the
vapid rantings of Thamilselvam appear to have taken on an air of Dutch
Courage where despite all the propaganda of the LTTE claiming legalities
towards their existences -the fact of the matter is, they are close
to being Persona Non Grata internationally or this is if not the case
in a statutory sense in Sri Lanka this status should be bestowed on
them based on the international condemnations and proscriptions against
them and an official stance of proscription needing to be taken emphatically
against them within the confines of Sri Lanka in the face of all their
renewed attrocities and the blatant violations of the Peace Agreement
and Ceasefire Agreement!
Ever the dreamer as well as Thespian extraordinaire relative to ethnicity!
Tamilselvan is quoted as saying that "the LTTE did not enter the
peace process to be described as a "non-state actor" and the
Sri Lankan government as the "state actor"."The CFA (Ceasefire
Agreement) and the entire peace process is between two parties. It is
not based on LTTE as a non-state actor and GOSL (government of Sri Lanka)
as a state actor." To contradict this idealogy of Thamilselvam
it must be cited that the LTTE are not the representations of all the
Tamils in Sri Lanka and that the Peace Agreement and ceasefire which
was emphatically flawed at the time of signing was nailed down by a
previous administration thought to be overly conciliatory to the group
of terrorists Thamiilselvam factually represented and the new regime
of the Hon. Mahinda Rajapakse in no way obliged to dance to Thamilselvam's
or the LTTE tunes with this new insight into the LTTE as non representatives
of all Sri Lankan Tamils who have taken advantage of a meaningless agreement
merely to blatantly violate it in an attempt to make fools of the present
administration while continuing to take on all the attributes of fully
armed terrorists who in the best interests of the nation now need to
be confronted in their own terms !!!
If the logic of astute analysts prevails towards argument it can be
said thatThe CFA was entered into with the GOSL of another era and leadership
fast being proven wrong and flawed at the time of signing and with absolutely
no "military, Army, Navy or Air-wing which are concocted figures
of speech within the Sovereign Nation of Sri Lanka beyond the imagery
of terrorism and a mere figment of LTTE imagination!
To concur that the LTTE, have been' effectively' running a civil administration
in the 'liberated' areas consisting 60 to 70 per cent of the entire
homeland. is the boldest fabrication yet to be formulated in the puerile
mindset of Thamilselvam as part of his propaganda intended to attract
world attention but the purest of myths given the facts where the quoted
percentages no more than a pipe dream. However it must be said that
the previous Government of Ranil Wickremasinghe in his own quest fo
a selfish agenda based upon power hungry ambitions has indeed granted
a modicum of leeway to the LTTE in having tolerated their build up of
an insurgent force in small parts of the North and North East of Sri
Lanka which perhaps is now on the verge of being disbanded and overrun
where Thamilselvam and his cronies need to either be annihilated and
put down as Enemies of the State or apprehended and tried for their
crimes against humanity with rehabilitation a non option!
Bearing in mind that Terrorists have no entitlements toward ' necessary'
infrastructures for any administration, policing, or judiciary other
than in a world gone mad should they be given any further leeway on
any infered humanitarian basis, this alone would confirm the lunacy
of any administration should its response also accommodate a bunch of
murderous lunatics that the LTTE now represent!
Perhaps the Peace which has been grossly interrupted in recent times
could only be restored through the annihilation of the LTTE stringently
radical and extreme as it sounds!! but did not some wise old sage say
"All's Fair In Love and War"? and in this case no love lost!
