The LTTE have been vanquished due to the incredible efforts of the Sri Lankan Administration and the Armed Forces and the scourge which plagued the Nation for over 25 years is over. It is indeed a time for celebration while also being humble about the success as there has been much suffering which will take an extended healing process and reconciliation to heal completely and has affected both sides of the conflict.

It is nevertheless a history making unprecedented victory over terrorism and the next battle the Administration will face is one of mind over matter and has to do with the Tamil Diaspora overseas whose global cliques and groups of silent terror mongers never seem to want to admit defeat through a continued show of resentment that all their attempts to overrun the legitimately universally franchised, Sovereign Nation of Sri Lanka have failed. It is an attempt to discredit her through falsified information and innuendo which has also failed miserably and now their only resort is to create terror in global locales and attack unarmed peaceful citizens of Sri Lanka of the Sinhalese community domiciled overseas which indicates their worthless calibre and low mentality.

While all this goes on they have the nerve to call for embargoes and financial restrictions on the Nation’s Foreign Aid providers as well as tribunals for crimes against humanity where their echoes seem to have swayed the puny minds of a few foreign power representatives who in all probabilities need psychiatric evaluation!

This appears to be the next assignment facing the Sri Lankan Administration, to confront through legal negotiation with the respective administrations in foreign locations and once again the world needs to be made aware that the Tamil Diaspora Overseas have qualified themselves to be likened to the LTTE terrorists by their hateful and irresponsible conduct in countries such as Auatralia, the UK, Canada and very soon many other countries where these expatriate Tamils have found refuge and the various admninistrations will be faced with the daunting task of keeping them under check or reading the riot act to them as a result of their criminal activity!!

They have begun a call for war crimes probes and sanctions against the Sri Lankan Government and her Military while garnering support from sympathetic sources in the US, UN, the EU and UK citing conduct during the campaign to eliminate the LTTE as criminal and the Government has responded very justifiably that US, UN and British troops most ironically will have to be hauled before tribunals first if any charges are brought against Sri Lanka’s armed forces where other nations such as Israel, Burma, Zimbabwe to name some are also equally culpable of crimes against humanity to add to the list already mentioned and it could mean roping a whole slew of globally liable criminal nations who have shamefully suppressed their own people where Sri lanka appears to be an epitome of non liability by comparison.

In this respect Sri Lanka almost seems sanctimonious and honorable in how the oppressed Tamil minority has been treated humanely and compassionately where their very liberation to freedom from the LTTE terrorists was indicative of this beyond a doubt! That they showed scant respect to the terrorists who tried to destroy Sri Lanka hardly needs evaluation as anything beyond utmost and imperative justification!

The world has seen the attrocities committed by the Tamil terrorists not only against the majority Sinhala
Nation but also against their own kin and the only reason for the extended and painful anti terror war to eliminate them contrary to the tales cooked up by the Diaspora.

Amidst calls for war crimes probes against its military for its conduct during the campaign to eliminate the LTTE, the Sri Lankan Administration has responded unequivocally that US and British troops will have to be hauled before tribunals first if any charges are brought against her Armed forces who have conducted a clinically precise and honorable anti terrorist campaign where no amount of rhetoric to the contrary can be proven based on the simplest of arguments that the Terrorists had no justifications towards their actions and those who supported them are equally liable and part of the real culprits against whom charges of Crimes Against Humanity need to be laid!

That there are vast numbers of Tamil Civilians who escaped the clutches and attrocities of the Tamil terrorists and are being confined in a secured encampment while their surrounds are checked for any terrorists who may have infiltrated into their midst surreptitiously should bear no consequence to the falsified definitions of Governmental attrocities laid by anti Government sources as the people confined to these camps will be released to pursue their future in a free and unimpeded environment with facilities towards a fresh start as the Adminiastration has indicated.

ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa already a hero in the minds of many Sri Lankans has accused unnamed foreign elements of trying to discredit the military offensive “by threatening to haul the administration before war crimes tribunals” and declared that he was even ready “to go to the gallows” for defeating the Tamil rebels which speaks much for his resolve and the confidence he has of his self esteem and honour reflected by the mood of the Nation presently in how the war against the LTTE terrorists was conducted.

Many analysts have pointed out that Sri Lankan Forces have done a darnsight better job as Fait Accompli than all the forces anywhere in the world when it comes to civilian casualties where every possible precautions were taken to prevent a major civilian catastrophe which came close to manifestation by the LTTE terrorists who pursued them relentlessly attacking them while fleeing until they themselves were gunned down by the meticulous Sri Lankan Army eventually so what are the Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspra backed foreign powers talking about?
