Sri Lanka's Military Gains Are
Indeed A Cause For Euphoria!
Here's Why!
February 13th, 2007
Time to debunk the LTTE propaganda laced myth being broadcast by pro
active LTTE supportives fighting a losing battle as much as their misguided
' tiger heroes' that " the huge military gains by the Sri Lankan
Armed Forces are no cause for euphoria!" To the contrary, it is
indeed a cause for great euphoria as well as jubilation that the miserable
directionless LTTE terrorists are being routed and rent assunder as
they have no place in Sri Lanka's run of the mill, day to day existences
of her populace and to see them scattered like a drove of wild jackals
running with their tails between their legs.
Obviously sufficient cause for the anguish and derision of their champions
around the world linked to this misleading repartee of- namely the pro
-Ltter Tamil diaspora whose funding for Sri Lankan terrorism has now
been effectively cut off and most of their platforms for the cause ignominiously
disrupted by a world more aware of their status as international terrorists
whose modus operandi is now being linked to that of Al Quaeda and not
freedom fighters fighting on behalf of freedom loving Tamils which is
also a myth. For a greater part the more rational and democratic minded
Tamils have denounced the criminalities of LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran
and have joined the ranks of those who want him apprehended and justice
meted out to him and his degenerate cohorts for their crimes against
humanity, so is this not cause for euphoria?
There is this concept by many pro LTTE propagandists that donor countries
have pledged vast amounts of financial aid to Sri Lanka, but have criticised
the Mahindra Rajapaksa Government's pursuit of a concerted military
strategy against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and its inadequate
focus on a negotiated political settlement which belittles the reality
of such a concept as there is no sane administration in the world (despite
the valiant yet furile attempts by this present Administration) which
would try to negotoaite with ruthless terrorists who prefer to continue
their killing sprees against unarmed innocent civilians and a wasted
effort. It can be safely concluded relative to any negotiated settlement
that might have been, that Scandinavian monitored attempts towards a
lasting peace starting with the botched Peace Process and Cease-fire
too has become farcial albeit still official on paper. The main reason
for this as investigations have revealed being the duplicity of the
Norwegians who continued to champion the cause of the terrorists rather
than the needs of the Sri Lankan Tamils and now that their secret agenda
has been exposed which is an incredible tale of subterfuge, selfish
motivation towards the spoils of natural resources and much more, the
Government seems very justified in the push towards eliminating the
tigers with a very forceful and well equiped thrust towards the cause
and exemplary military leadership where the eventual defeat will also
incorporate the viles of Norway and their supportives!
All this shop talk about the international community making it clear
to the Sri Lankan authorities that conversion of an astronomical amount
of aid pledges into hard cash will be dependent on the progress of the
peace process seems rhetorical as a greater majority of the International
Community now sees the LTTE in their true colours and the reason behind
many world powers coming forwards without presumption to ban them outright
although there are concerns for the civilian casualties that will undoubtedly
result in as the push towards eliminating them continues but an unfortunately
anomaly where the greater priority now appears to be ridding the nation
permanently of the LTTE vermin while protecting as much as possible
the civilians caught in a crossfire, evacuating them from harm's way
and eventually handing over devolved power to sane, compassionate and
rational minded Tamils under an assertive, intelligent, non megalomaniacal,
murderous leadership who do not carry weapons nor indulge in all the
criminalities the LTTE are hallmarked for! Something which does not
take rocket science to figure out so who are these pundits attempting
to disclaim Sri Lanka's euphoria which in reality is broadbased to incorporate
perhaps more than two thirds of the population that the LTTE must surely
be on their way out and there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel
for all oppressed Tamils and the exasperated rest of Sri lanka's population?
There must never be any confusion or doubt that the stage is set in
Sri Lanka for all her ethnicities to share power towards the future
and every aspect of posterity but power sharing and devolution involving
unrelenting, fully armed terrorists who are even at the present time
conniving to overrun the Sri Lankan Armed Forces despite its futile
and pipe dream nature seems a concept which goes from the sublime to
the ridiculous and if anyone in their right frame of mind truly believed
it would expand the development horizons for the country, with higher
aid and private capital inflows, and accelerate development of conflict
affected and other lagging regions they perhaps need psychiatric evaluation."
Accelerate a few things!" it would indeed and far removed from
development where the Nation would probably sink into a quagmire of
anarchy where what happened in the Balkans would seem pale by comparison
where mercifully sanity eventually prevailed as the greater proportion
of murderous criminal responsible for that tragedy were apprehended
and tried for crimes against humanity! There are positive signs that
what 's unfolding in Sri Lanka today bears a resemblance to the Anti
Balkanization of all of South Asia with the immeasurable successes of
the Sri Lankan Armed Forces where Sri Lanka's friendly giant to the
south in utter preponderance over whay seems visibly compelling has
precious nothing to add as compensation or support beyond lip service
for what Sri lanka is trying to accomplish for the entire region as
one which is completely terrorist free, though it is bound to join in
the celebrations and perhaps request Prabhakaran's head on a platter
once the Fait Accompli manifests itself as a huge success!
Hence there is much cause for jubilation and euphoria that the Sri Lankan
Armed Forces have made substantial gains with the use of its Air Force,
to capture most of the LTTE strongholds in the East and made it virtually
impossible for the Tigers to supply their bases in Batticoloa, Trincomalee,
and even their Northern strongholds bracing perhaps for that final assault.
Sri Lanka's Catch 22 situation next surfaces regretably where over 200,000
people have been displaced in the Northeast during the past six months
and the sooner the LTTE are driven out of these areas the quicker will
be that much needed restitution and recussitation for the oppressed
and long suffering people of these areas! A pledge which has been made
by the Commander of the Armed Forces Lieut.Gen. Sarath Fonseka a man
of his world and someone well equipped to carry out his promises!
To those who insist Sri Lanka has no claim to euphoria over the systematic
elimination of the LTTE which is becoming more and more tangible by
the day, a message needs to be sent out to change their trend of thought
together with their viewing apparatus which seems to contribute towards
myopic vision where they also need to view the magnanimity of the Sri
Lankan president who has certainly been fair and impartial ere the concerted
assaults on the LTTE commenced as a last resort towards breaking the
will of the mendacious terrorists they are with a single agenda of separation
in mind! One which now does not even have the backing of the majority
of Tamils whom they falsely claim to represent but in reality want no
part of Prabhakaran leadership!
The world at large which also incorporates the "International
Community" often alluded to falsely and reprehensibly as LTTE sympathetic
towards" the injured party" by many reactionary forces hell
bent on denigrating the Sri Lankan Administration has to be made aware
that Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa has never deviated from
his resolute attempts to be conciliatory to the LTTE perhaps wrongfully
so considering their terrorist guise and requested them to renounce
violence, lay down arms and negotiate to evolve a political solution.
A ridicule laden scorning of his offer being the only LTTE response
by spokespersons such as Illyanthiran and Thamilselvam, the President
quite naturally and mostly authoritatively being the Chief Executive
Officer of Sovereign Sri Lanka appears quite justified in having taken
the stance in the best interests of Sri Lanka in deciding to pursue
them relentlessly and put them down on the rationale that~They have
after all become an intolerable and unnecessary evil! It is a well known
fact that he had made a similar offer previously, where the LTTE had
also responded with ridicule and have now paid a heavy price for their
misgivings where the penalties will undoubtedlty be far greater in the
long run!
It is time perhaps to scoff at the pundits in return for their speculation
that the LTTE will somehow regroup towards a capacity similar to what
they were feared for in the past but a hard sell towards reality considering
the forces they are now up against yet conditional towards the Armed Forces
maintaining the advantages gained in recent times with no interference
from carrot dangling Aid donors, flybynight overseas educated politicos
with their' get rich quick' schemes or duplicitous Foreign Powers!
