In France between 1914 and 2014, some 150 people were killed in bombings, targeted assassinations, and plane hijackings. In January 2015 twenty three died from attacks as a result of Charlie Hebdo cartoon. 130 people died the same year in November in Central Paris. The latest has been the 84 deaths on Bastille Day. From January 2015 to July 2016, 230 people have died from terror attacks. <strong>The Tunisian the lorry driver shouted Allahu akbar!\u201d before carrying out the attack.<\/strong> <strong>The LTTE shouts throughout 30 years while carrying out over 300 suicide attacks were for \u2018<em>Eelam<\/em>\u2019 separate state the same which the Tamil National Alliance is now seeking. Can the West at least now understand LTTE terrorism, that West still entertains elements of LTTE and why all terrorists and their supporters must now be dealt with?

Its as simple as that.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a case of a monster being created and unleashed and thereafter claiming to run after the monster but bombing others! The most flogged argument is \u2018some Muslims attack the West in retaliation for Western violence aimed at Muslims\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>What arises from this is the question of how innocent lives have become victims of a group of maniacs with guns that have been supported by very powerful nations for their own political games. Who has gained? The arms industries fund both the terrorists and the countries which have been targeted. The counter terrorism experts end up securing plum jobs and telling us how to cure problems conveniently omitting to name the roots of the problem. The UN and its bodies and experts join in pulling out their book of rules that are only applicable to non-Western nations. The illegalities, interferences into Sri Lanka\u2019s internal affairs by the entire UN system is testimony as is a report by some 55 organizations that claim UN bias against Syria <a href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.com\/20160616-55-organisations-accuse-the-un-of-bias-in-its-humanitarian-operations-in-syria\/\">https:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.com\/20160616-55-organisations-accuse-the-un-of-bias-in-its-humanitarian-operations-in-syria\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If all this is true what is worrying is that innocent armed forces personnel from the West are being sent to destroy the very people that their governments created and die in battle while the Islamic terrorists also end up dead though the supply continues. This is quite a frightening yet realistic scenario.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is LTTE and now TNA a geopolitical ploy of West-India nexus?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is the LTTE story the same? India stands guilty of first taking unemployed Sri Lankan Tamil youth and training them clandestinely in various camps throughout India and returning under tutelage of Indian intelligence with the explicit orders to destabalize Sri Lanka. That various LTTE fronts were operating from the West fundraising, providing material support and even having open offices to which Western politicians have no qualms about attending or even speaking atop their stages, some of these LTTE front leaders are VIP and regular visitors to even the UN and UNHRC and pushing for every word the LTTE had been demanding. These are no coincidence demands. The people of the West are only now beginning to realize the true nature of terrorism. Everyone stood silent with a simply sympathetic statement when LTTE were killing innocent children, women, men, clergy, intentionally destroying ancient Sinhala Buddhist cultural property, killing unarmed soldiers, injured and sick soldiers and people of all ethnic groups were killed which is why the world and Sri Lanka\u2019s leaders and the Sri Lankan public must correct that <strong>Sri Lanka had\/has a TERRORIST PROBLEM AND NOT AN ETHNIC PROBLEM.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To add to the injury the West has inducted westernized Indians to do their bidding thus we see a host of Indian-Americans entering the diplomatic scene and dictating how Sri Lanka should run its country. Surely, they can\u2019t take all the people for fools. Brexit was a fine example of how the real Brits stood up against the systems that prevail to deliver an unexpected blow to how the establishments had been running.<\/p>\n<p>With a very unusual shift in Indian foreign policy tagging to West it is anyone\u2019s guess whether LTTE too has been used to fulfil West &amp; India\u2019s geopolitical goals. The recent announcement of the US plans to build a New Office Building, U.S. Marine Residence, Compound Access Control facilities, Maintenance Building, Utility Building, and a Warehouse, a US$ 155 million contract given to Caddell Construction Company immediately calls to mind the Kosovo independence and Camp Bondsteel built immediately after Kosovo was given independence. <a href=\"http:\/\/sputniknews.com\/europe\/20160328\/1037105115\/camp-bondsteel-serbia-kosovo-military-camp.html\">http:\/\/sputniknews.com\/europe\/20160328\/1037105115\/camp-bondsteel-serbia-kosovo-military-camp.html<\/a> US is steadily using the Ranil Government to create a satellite state out of Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<p>Islamic terrorist mauled over 80 people riding on a truck in Nice, France. What makes this terror attack any different from the scales of attack Sri Lanka went through under LTTE and what did the world do about ending terrorism in Sri Lanka. Now after the former Government ended terrorism or at least the ground force of the LTTE including its leader the Western powers are bringing resolutions to punish the soldiers that sacrificed their lives to rid the nation of terrorism and Sri Lanka became the only country to do so. Is there any point in bringing these hometruths into the open when obviously the duplicitous agendas and motives continues with scant regard to the hypocrisies that prevail?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The West &amp; UN ignored LTTE attacks throughout 30 years<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>January 31, 1996<\/strong><strong> \u2013 Central Bank LTTE bombing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Killed at least 91 people and injured 1,400 others.
