There is nothing really to be surprised by these events unfolding but it does make a laughing stock out of their own statements issued on peaceful coexistence, reconciliation &amp; accountability. Such wrong signals are doing nothing to achieve anything but return us to square one following the discovery of arms &amp; ammunition while trial runs with new gangsters roaming the country is now scaring people who fear a return to part two of another 30 years of terror. So in the eyes of this Govt &amp; the West &amp; UN, LTTE terrorists are the heroes while National Army &amp; the innocent unarmed civilians who were killed are the Terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>LTTE are heroes in the eyes of those who are commemorating them &amp; those who are allowing the commemorations. The spineless government is not taking action because it thinks that this is what the West wants! While the West &amp; India are happy because it serves as the perfect background to again divide people further. For the LTTE diaspora funding these stunts it is a perfect way to hide their illegal businesses and fool the world once more.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the handiwork of those who are being commemorated and ask yourselves how right is this? <strong>When the world will not tolerate Nazi\u2019s being commemorated why are they allowing mass murderers LTTE to be mourned? Name any country who has suffered over 300 attacks by LTTE in 3 decades and after militarily defeating LTTE, a state university is mourning the dead terrorists and not the victims? Where in the world would such absurdities happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Were there people to count these innocent civilian dead? There are however plenty of people counting LTTE dead and even mourning the mass murderers son \u2013 just look at the many babies and children LTTE have killed. Why have there been no tears or posters for them by the big shot diplomatic community and bogus human rights organizations.<\/p>\n<p>All that needs to be said is that if any international entity project themselves as serving the good of the world then they must be fair but they cannot be fair and unbiased when it comes to a terrorist movement. <strong>They simply cannot put terrorist deaths on par with innocent unarmed civilian deaths. <\/strong>These terrorists and mass murderers had a choice and they chose to take the gun and kill people. Those who live by the sword, die by the sword.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-72122\"
