    Ok for the people who is saying the Rajapakse Government is doing a proper war..one question.. Where are we heading to? when will they finish the war? everyday so many innocent soldiers from poor families dies and get injured.. almost atleast once a week a bomb goes of kills innocent people in colombo and other places.. so what 's the point? where will this killing end? do you guys seriously think the war can completely finish off LTTE without harming more and more innocent civilians both sinhalese and tamils? Havent we all been looking forward to the day the war ends for the last 30 years? who are we kidding here? its just a game of politics where innocent people are victimized.

    So what exactly is your solution? Should we hand them the entire north because now their only option is carrying out suicide attacks on civilian targets being unable to resist the advancing security forces to the wanni heartland? If some Muslim group start demanding for East and carries out few random attacks should we give them East too?

    Look at how much headway we have made in the last two years.Do you remember how things were in 2001? We were continuously losing large amount of area everyday and our bases were being overrun very easily. Our causalities each day were sky high and We even lost a whole division overnight after the Elephant pass debacle. Causalities I'm talking about here are many times greater than all the soldiers we lost in largely exaggerated Muhumalai debacle. Add to all these our Kfirs were falling from the sky and naval movements were largely restricted. Therefore Jaffna was on the verge of falling to the terrorists with over 30000 personnels trapped.

    Take a look at the situation today. We have liberated the entire East and now the terrorists are confined to just two districts in the north. Their leaders live in constant fear and recruitment of new cadres has been harder than ever. Under this their only option now is to target innocent civilians in the south to force the government into a another ceasefire agreement or to create a ethnic backslash so external forces can intervene. So should we fall for their trap and leave this menace for our next generation??

    Whatever some people say this is the only government that has something to show for the 2 years they have fought and the amount of money spent. That's why this government is still popular with the masses.

    What the hell? Why you don't care about the lives of thousands of innocent civilians killed by these terrorists? Are their blood cheap? Shouldn't those criminals be punished?

    And what guarantee you have that LTTE will stop thier terror once we give them their Ealam? If they ask for whole Sri lanka after that should we give that too and live like slaves?

    Are you kidding me?

    Consider this!

    There is a 'negotiated solution' and there is an 'autonomous North-eastern province (Note: NOT separate Northern and Eastern provinces which Tamils don't like)...Are you telling me that a Sinhalese or a Muslim will be welcome in those areas to live and work freely?

    Despite the war and allegations of 'discrimination' both Tamils and Muslims live with the Sinhalese in relative peace and harmony (considering there is a Full-blown war happening at the same time)!

    I think there is not ONE solution to the LTTE problem..there are THREE in this order:

    1. Sort out a reasonable devolution package with the moderate Tamil parties and the Muslims!

    2. The Foreign service has to get up and cut-off any and all support elements of the LTTE abroad!

    3. THEN...the Military drive and destroy any and ALL LTTE members...and take no prisoners to prevent the re-emergence of a capable militancy!

    i agree to to the first 2 steps.. the 2nd step plays a big part in LTTE'S survival. In terms of a solution, when ever a government has tried to bring a suitable devolution solution the opposition always does not agree.. it was the same with the proposal brought late 1980's and then 2001 by the UNP government. now the same solution was brought after about 18 years by the APRC. but the problem here is the medicine for the small wound may not be enough to treat the cancer which is there after 18 years!! does this government atleast think of a political solution which address the root of the war? only the war will not be enough..it will just end up destroying everything. there should be a clear political aim first and then may be try to destroy the LTTE as you'll say. But the problem is how will we pin point tamil people as LTTE and not LTTE? especially in the North? and who says the east is libarated? every single day something happens there involving armed tamil groups. is this liberation? do you think anyone can travel to the east without any fear of getting caught in at least a cross fire ? And what gurentee do we have that people like Pillayan will not take arms one day and demand the east as another country too?
    IMO this war is also just a big political propaganda. The main aim of this is that people will forget the other problems in the country such as the extra high cost of living.
    For this war to end both sides will have to sacrifice.. we as singhalese cannot be extremist and wait to see everything happen to the liking for us all the time. we should also be ready to give away something. In terms of LTTE they should also drop the idea of complete Ealam and be ready to accept may be to a fedaral system where they can be the rulers of north but under the SL government.

    calmdown dude. lol.
    LTTE or any other tamil group here because of a reason.
    you should give a answer to that problem otherwise solutions are temporary.
    war is not the solution for that.
    by saying we give solution after winning against LTTE or any group is the biggest joke. after winning against any group it will be a forcefull solution to north east that never be satisfied by tamils although majority sinhalese like it.

    Ok past governments have tried to negotiate with the tigers. Did they stick to the terms? No they didn't. Do you really expect to negotiate with LTTE and expect them to stick with the terms and that will be it? I dont think so. Every time the tigers forces the government in to negotiations while there supplies and recruitment's are going bad. During the cease fie they resupply and forcefully recruit more innocent tamils and start the whole thin over. This process keep going over and over again. The Army has the tigers in the back foot in all fronts. LTTE military capabilities have reduced to 5%. There supplies and money coming in from abroad have gone down immensely. During the past 30 years no one except Kobbakaduwa have reduced the Tigers to this and after all of this u want to negotiate. Do u actually love your country u selfish bastard. People like u and Ranil are the reasons for this country been in a state like this. They only care about coming to power and they will use any means necessary like Hilal have pointed out earlier. For once think about the country rather than the party u support!!!

    You must be so naive to think that LTTE will accept any form of power devolution when they are militarily strong. As WPKD said succesive governments tried to negotiate with the tigers but they never gave up their demand for a mono-ethnic tamil homeland. So far can you tell me the slightest bit of thing tigers have done to say they are interested in a negotiated settlement??

    And your theory that it's wrong to force them a solution when they are militarily weak is rubbish. First thing you should realise is that LTTE are not sole representative of Tamil people. They have systematically eliminated all other democratic Tamil voices who spoke for tamils. So if we can militarily weaken the tigers, more and more tamil voices like Anandasangarees, Devanandas and even Pillayans will be heard. Right now they are too scared to speak up for obvious reasons. So if we can come to a acceptable solution with the participation of leaders from all communities and blessing of of the IC specially India LTTE will not be in a position to reject it only if they are militarily weak. Even Tamil people will find it acceptable and not feel as if it being forced down on them because there was a good representation of tamil leaders.
