THIS “COMMENT” IS RELEASED WITHOUT EDITING TO ILLUSTRATE THE RACIST ATTITUDE OF CERTAIN PEOPLE – DBSJ

I do not want to drag on this discussion. But can we agree not to see this NFZ as a NFZ anymore? The NFZ was declared by the GOSL for the safety of the civilians. But the moment the LTTE cadres encroached on to it, it is no more a NFZ though we continue to call it that.

One can compare the current situation to a hijacked plane with hostages taken. When one sees it in that context ,then the rules of the game change accordingly. You know what I mean.

Thank you for your time to address some of the points that I’ve raised. I’m looking forward to meet you again soon, on your website with a new article of yours.

DBSJ RESPONDS:

That’s not correct too. There is really no basis to this so called No Fire Zone. It was after the LTTE started moving people to the coastal strip to prevent 55 and 59 divisions from moving south and north respectively that the GOVT simply “Declared ” this as NFF. If you are really keen to know then please read my piece on the tpic on this site. Otherwise dont waste my time with responses like this

You are right, Srilanka is a sovereign state,

But you failed to mentioned that Eelam is another sovereign state in the same Island call Ceylon.

Quote : Forget the opinions of western countries, so far all they have done is provided arms, technologies to LTTE. To name the countries Norway, Chezckolslavakia, UK, Germany, Canada, these countries have a heavy responsibility for the plight of innocent people in Sri Lanka

Which planet are you living ?

I would like to know who these ‘doctors’ are that you quote so often. since they are working in the area is it not possible that they are also spreading LTTE propoganda.

Also I would like to ask you, since there is a lot being written of the humanitarian issue and the lives being lost, what are the alternatives.

I will not dispute that there are deaths caused by most sides, but what in your opinion are the alternatives. I think you wil have to agree that the LTTE must be brought to justice, they have commited countless crimes against people of all ethnicities. As such there should be no room for negotiations with them, they should play no part in political negotiations. Any sort of political settlement should include Moderate tamils. I hope you will accept that there is no way to protect all the civilians and defeat the LTTE with zero casualties. Do you think that you are demeaning the sacrifices of the GOSL by highlighting the ‘alleged’ killing of civilians.

I would also like to ask you why you think there are so many pro LTTE bloggers posting on this site. WHy do so many defend the LTTE when they have caused more suffering to the tamil people that anyone else.

Another point, I fully understand your concerns regd the GOSL and Mahinda and CO. alot of share that view, but would it not be in the true spirit of unbiased journalism to state that MR has done what no leader has been able to do, I think this has not been appreciated enough by journalists all around the world.

DBSJ RESPONDS: Please go and read my earlier articles and responses to some comments. Please google and read all my articles available.These will answer most of your questions. How many times do I have to answer repeated ill – informed queries?

I think you ought to write the life and times of some Tamils in the South.

The registration, re registration and double ID, mid night parades, White van abductions and arbitrary arrest are these consider normal life and live with peace and dignity of any human any where?- Some thing is not right here, either the thinking of some Sinhalese people or ……

How on the earth any one can claim when they were uprooted due to war, high security zone, denial of farming and fishing left with no other place to go other than to move to south in order to stay in touch with their kins abroad who support the family consider they are living in peace in the south.

Have anyone see the living conditions where in a 10 x 10 room crowded with 3-4 people paying Rs 20000.00- 50000.00 rent yet have the they have no future.

This is call Peaceful living ?

Since many comments here try to re-instate the same facts when it is in fact a concocted fact, I thing DBS you have a topic to write.

Even if they live in peace, let those pundits read what Kusal Perera Wrote…

The SLFP was purely elected by the Sinhala mass and Tamils did not give mandate to war.

By the way DBS, in a war, we can call some unavoidable damage as Collateral Damage, but deliberate shelling on Hospitals and No fire Zone whether or not a retaliation is amount to GENOCIDE.

This is what I am trying say in my many posts.

I agree one thing and I have tried to get my message to some influential that the current protest by many spontaneous and good hearted people have been hijacked by a different cause Tamil Vs LTTE. ( Only thing is this may be an indication that each Western Government may have to worry in the future, an unwavering support base for the LTTE)

They have one point that I should accept that changed the equation. ” The TERROOR listing”

Srilanka was able to subdue all the norms of Humanity, Human rights and rules of engagements only , I said only because LTTE was listed as Foreign terrorist group.

I have lived in the middle of war, slept days in side the trench to avoid SLAF’s random Aerial Bombing ( my neighbors house was flattened and my house’s roof was collapsed from the bombing), narrowly escaped from Shelling ( 10 sec. delay of passing a location where it was hit by an artillery by the IPKF and killed a man in front of me), the experience is unique.

I consider I am lucky to be alive to this date.

Besides all these did I tell you that just being a Tamil spending time with my father’s work area in the west ( Puttalam), I have been taken to fourth floor locked up, beaten up?

I guess, DBS you have been there once, I may be wrong.

DBSJ RESPONDS: Yes I was held on the 4th floor for investigations to see whether I had committed any offence. This was the reason given by the CID. the real reason was to prevent me from writing about the Indian army killing and injuring civilians in Jaffna. I had to leave Sri Lanka after I was released

I have also escaped being killed or injured by aerial bombardment and strafing miraculously in Jaffna.

But in Canada Tamil goons supporting the LTTE assaulted me in front of my wife with baseball bats and rods and broke my head and leg. Later the WTM goons terrorised Tamil shopkeepers into not selling the weekly I was editing. They prevented the advertisers from giving advertisements. I had to stop the paper. Even now I get threatening calls and dirty emails regularly from so called tiger sympathisers.

Yes I have been there but I have also been here. And to me both sides are tweedledum and tweedledee. Neither side can claim moral superiority. Nor can we argue that victimisation is from one side alone.

Yes there are many problems facing Tamils living in the South. Yet many see life there as lesser of two evils. The haranguing acccounts of how LTTE treated Tamil civilians is terrible. The people in Jaffna have many problems but they do not want the LTTE to come back

There is no point in attacking one side and arguing for another side. The Tamil people need a durable peace and freedom from all gun toting groups. They need proper rule of law and a life where the Police and Armed forces will not suppress or curtail them. For that?

It is time that we start thinking as sri lankans, otherwise tamils and sinhalese will keep fitighing for few more generations. Other communities can join as well. For whose benefit ? Your guess is as good as mine.
