"Ofc not! That's why I support bombing the crap out of terrorists like the LTTE"

Okay thanks for showing us either ur not a human or ur a human with no soul...

"Dying for their ethnic enclave didn't win the war, did it?"

Nope it did not. but fighting for a just cause is better than living as a slave. Theres a thing called human dignity. And as the SLA "won" the war, they are taking away any little bit of human dignity. They put the tamils who were displaced by the war in refugee camps. there they throw food in the sand and expect the tamils to go run like animals and fight for it. The same kind of ppl who watched over abu ghraib are at the refugee camps in sri lanka. Go lookup the documentary by the british journalist who was detained in sri lanka for taking footage of these things.

I don't know about you but suicide seems like a lot better option than to lose all human dignity to another group of humans. Humiliation is simply not an option for the tamil people.

"Yes the libraries are full of 14 year olds in hornrims doing research on their options before they commit to a suicide bombing for the LTTE.  It's an informed choice we can respect."

Are u saying that u go to the library before u make any decision in ur life? So say they did not have a library, they are not allowed to do anything? What about the "terrorists" who joined washingtons army? Did they go look up the history of great britain before they joined?Your arguments are worse than a 5 year old LOL. The only few decent arguments have already been squashed...

I just hope there are trials and the remainder of the LTTE that had surrendered is put in front of firing squads. I wonder... Could we pay... you know... sorta a ''economic recovery" payment... to be on one of the firing squads?

I would like to put a nail in the last non-islamic suicide bomber group in the world.

I will take that on.

In Washingtons days a line of soldiers would face another line of soldiers, load, fire, and take fire in return. It was quite obvious who was in a military unit and who was just some farmer.

A man in a military unit traveled in a formation with many men in formation, I believe the smallest unit was of 20 men. They would be armed with musket, would form a formation to engage, and were always identifiable by their actions.

I already posted how you can do a revolution, and not harm to many innocents, and not target them directly.

Suicide bombers is an anethema to us, and will always be, we will always side with the opposing faction or with neither faction, we will never side with suicide bombers or the factions supporting them. When will this be clear to you?

"You know no matter how many times i tell you, u dont seem to understand or u just ignore it... The young orphans of the tamil population do what they do because of human nature. People in the sri lankan army also do what they do because of human nature. You are right, if i was a sri lankan boy and my parents were killed in the marketplace by LTTE, i wud have the same anger as the tamil boy. This does not get rid of the fact that the separate country the LTTE fights for is a just cause."

Rape is human nature too, should I approve that?

"You have to keep in mind this cycle of violence will NEVER end unless the tamils are given a separate state and aloud to rebuild their communities. "

Guess not, they gave up last week.

"You simply cannot hope to hold on to and suppress a population for more than 70 years and not expect to have a backlash. "

Sure. And then the backlash should have the most severe repression unless it subsides.

'If the ends justify the means, then suicide bombing is absolutely jusified. Am i happy that innocents get killed on both sides? Absolutely not. I myself would hope that they can settle this peacefully but after 30 years of protests there was only more sadness and grief."

And so, kill some innocent people who want to buy food.  "Enough of this innocents being killed blah blah blah".

"The oppression is absolutely apparent. In 1949, as soon as the british left sri lanka, the sri lankan government brought into law a disenfranchisement of roughly 40% of the tamil population. The law specifically stated that if you spoke TAMIL and you were a plantation worker you would not be aloud to vote. ofc the tamil population protested but all in vain. Next the government owned universities discriminated tamils from joining. Ofc they protested but all useless. Before the british left, tamils had approximately 50% of the government jobs. After they left, they had only 10% of the gov jobs. Ofc they protested, but it was all useless. Governmetn funds to tamil populated areas were so severely cut that they simply had to close down POST OFFICES! The national language was changed from tamil and singhalese to only singalese. So you had to learn singalese or you had no economic opportunity in the country. So in 1985, the LTTE formed by a group of young tamils who decided that enough was enough. They were going to stop paying taxes to sri lanka and declare themselves a separate state.

All this why? Because the tamils were favored by the british and they held a lot of power in the local communities. After the british left, sri lankan government started propogating that the tamils are no good and are not fit to be at the same level of citizenship as the singhalese. "

So, this is about 18% of a population losing 50% of civil service jobs?  WTF should 18% have 50% of the jobs? That's a reason to send kids to blow the legs off old ladies?

You're a babbling terrorist Red Rooster.

whaddya want, quotas? shall 18% of the population get 36% of the jobs and not have to learn the lingo of the other 82%?  you want civil servants that don't speak the language of 82% of the people?  (phony argument, if they had 50% of civil service jobs they couldn't possibly speak ONLY Tamil. more ethnic separatism.)

I am sorry I am not learning Sioux or Cheyenne, I just wont do it.

I am part of the majority, tho (mostly) I am a a Caucasian male from Europe.

If they offered enough money I would say let the tamils maybe have their own jurisdiction, but still be a part of our nation, but with suicide bombers... NEVER IN YOUR FRIGGIN LIFE.

He utterly crushed you Red_Rooster.

The point remains, if 50% of the government is one race which makes up a sliver of the population, they are over-powered. There is going to be a whiplash against that. The Baathists in Iraq knew it was coming, they were abusive also, like the Tamils. Fortunately that has mostly petered out now.

Your weak, your bitter, and you wont see why we would never support the Tamils, nay we would even gladly go forth to help AGAINST the Tamils.

If they ever get a nation via force, I will push for an invasion and destruction of that nation, as well as the death of every soldier and politician of that nation, and the returning of it to Sri Lanka.

All this because the Tamils used suicide bombers.

Actually I do hold an office, and I am running for a higher office. I am in talks right now to assist some candidates also, who like my moxy.

I showed, and I swear you are avoiding it like the plague, more so than you ever accused Chris of avoiding something, how you can do asymmetrical warfare and not directly target innocents.

Please do go away terrorist supporter. I do not want to see you in this game again, cause you make me want to choke a tamil just talking with you.

i TOLD YOU... the LTTE way of violence against civilians is a REACTION not an offensive ACTION. It is a REACTION to SLA bombing civilians. It certainly is frustrating speaking with a state terrorism supporter.

"I showed, and I swear you are avoiding it like the plague, more so than you ever accused Chris of avoiding something, how you can do asymmetrical warfare and not directly target innocents. "

ok it was hard to take u seriously when u said u cud single handedly pull $1 trillion of damage using ur methods. But assuming its realistic, which it is not, you are still missing the point of putting bombs in marketplaces... LTTE wants the people to put pressure on their government to just end the war by giving tamils a separate state. If you destroy railroads it means nothing to the ordinary citizen. So what? He is not going to be able to see uncle Jadsfeafsdnkjsdr that summer... If he fears for his life when he goes to buy vegetables, THEN thats a whole different story.

Sorry but war is awful and i support fully what the LTTE does because of waht has been done to the tamil population and because they deserve a separate state.

You cannot prove why they should not have a separate state and you cannot prove that it is OKAY for state terrorism to take place unchallenged.

Nope... it worked for them for 30 years until all the countries including india and china started supporting SLA with high tech airplanes and ships.

Learn please...

Freedom is never given, it has to be fought for and won. If LTTE fought like washingtons army they would have been wiped out in a couple months. They fight a guerrilla warfare and they use suicide vests just to terrorize the people a little bit. Who are you to tell me this is wrong? The U.S. and great britain carpet bombed whole cities day and night. Do you mean to say they were not targetting civilians? Oh right... they were just targetting the factories where civilians work.

a bit random mebbe, but i was reading this book and the terrorists in question used cyanide bullits o_O
there werent any wounded to tend to afterwards, even ppl with fleshwounds died

i believe that s illegal irl as well
