While the world around us reverberates with the horrors of terrorism and the world super powers continue the drive against it globally, curiously in Sri Lanka, Terrorism LTTE Style is very much existent,tolerated with impunity and continues unabated despite a Peace Accord (presently in deliberate impasse created by the LTTE to suit their own ends) and a ceasefire which to all intents and purposes is fast becoming a joke! All the statutes of international law are violated and stretched to the limit from political assasinations, child conscriptions, illegal arms smuggling, an internecine war between two dissenting groups of the LTTE and bold wanton and indiscriminate murder of harmless civilians thought to be informers as the high handed illegal activity continues so where does an Administration draw the line towards the restitution of Constitutional Rights of a Nation gone awry and why has the International Community done little or nothing viably to correct it or at least provide sufficient agitation towards the much needed affirmative action?
Furthermore there have been recent unconfirmed reports even more curiously that despite the anti LTTE stance based on their terrorist status and all the so called isolation and condemnations of their activities by World Powers, the bannings of public presentation, freezing of assets and the criminalization of the LTTE etc. etc., entities such as the European Union and the World Bank are standing by almost in expectation that the LTTE might eventually come through as a recognized organization based on the hoopla and hype resulting from Government prevarication as well as the posturing of pro-LTTE Nations such as Norway amongst others trying their utmost to pin a badge of approval to a group of condemned criminals who really should be behind bars removed from propagating their evil within the free world and contained in order to realistically make Sri Lanka and the world a safer place ! Yet their condemnations as of late have been hard to come by and the perplexities of who or what what gives the LTTE special privileges towards continuity mind boggling!
While It is common knowledge that in Sri Lanka today, there exists a faction of Sri Lankan Tamils very much opposed to the autocratic mentality and modus operandi of the mainstream LTTE and the mendacious Prabhakaran (Pirapaharan) they seem to have no real champoin for their cause other than the EPDP of Douglas Devananda, a few anti LTTE splinter groups and probably that of the breakaway faction of Col. Karuna whose efforts to oppose and bring down the LTTE proper are indiscriminately ignored and swept under the carpet by all concerned rather than being given the fullest support and encouragement with no fear of mainstream LTTE fallout where the feasibility of supporting their cause is often circumvented by the excused importance of the Peace Process and the need to maintain the Ceasefire while the LTTE make merry and are permitted to continue in gay abandon fearlessly and arrogantly and if this is not apathy then it is a deliberately orchestrated agenda which could have ramifications for the Nation down the road and deplorable considering the duplicity involved! Any assumptions of the Government being in a catch 22 situation where appeasing the LTTE is on an even keel with National Security and inter dependance of the two a fallacy as the security of the Nation could more probably be compronised by permitting the LTTE any further concessions !
While there can be no further conciliations to the LTTE within a Sovereign Democratic Sri Lanka or even the semblance of acknowledging their ISGA which would be a stepping stone to secession a reality well recognized by the JVP wing of the UPFA, even the minimal tolerance granted the LTTE considering the degree to which it has been taken advantage of could imperil the existence of a free and Democratic Sri Lanka.The LTTE who seem to have drawn the conclusion that they now have a license and a mandate to further perpetrate their attrocities when the sources that matter look aside, have begun indicating early warning signs of their intentions which must never go unnoticed by the powers that be in Sri Lanka while every effort is made to maintain the present peace and tranquility which has prevailed which needs to be further augmented towards greater success of the existence of a peaceful Sovereign Sri Lanka perhaps completely rid of the LTTE in their present image whose Hitlerian dictates orchestrated by their megalomaniac leader have no place nor right to exist in any free society.
Also advantageous to this concept would be the uniting of all peaceloving Tamils behind a more astute non terrorist leader than the one who assumes leadership with no real mandate other than through threats, intimidation and coercion to be their sole representation where unfettered, undivided, one voiced condemnation towards their isolation could set the stage for their ultimate elimination!
