Hi Folks,

Heard on CNN Headline News this morning:

Vice Admiral Clarence Fernando was killed by a suicide bomber on a motor-cycle
in Colombo today. The motor-cyclist rammed into Vice. Adm. Fernando's motorcade
killing him and two aids. LTTE is suspected, of course.

Vice Admiral Fernando was the second-in-command of the Navy. 

Sanjiva.

Well....wait a minute. What about the scientific method? We must make sure that
the Wijeweera solution yields the desired results. So, you have to
conduct tests
to validate this process. Why don't we apply the 'solution' on you as a
forerunner for other tests? What d'ya say?

The last time (1962 +/- std. dev of 1 decade) there was an attempt of a coup 
in Sri Lanka, it fell along party lines of a different nature:  most of 
the burgers, english speaking, and christian military personal ganged up
and tried to overthrow the government i.e., there's no such thing as a neutral
military in SL!  If there's an attempt at a coup, it would be the "other"
idealogical party brass who would try it.  And guess what ?  They want
more government control on everyday life and with respect to Tamil autonomy
things wouldn't be any different or may even get worse.  So the situation
would be (if there's a coup): there'd be a coup, but political idealogies
would be still prevail.  Now what is surprising about that in SL ?

The best way is to disarm everyone and have a peace keeping entity something 
akin to Costa Rica.  That SL gets invaded from external forces is a farce 
through and through.  This stupid shit about spending a big chunk of money
when there's not enough food to feed people is an outrage.  I can think of 
people dying of diseases, but because of political human "insects" ?  That's 
un "imaginable".

Which reminds me ...

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired 
signifies in the finals sense, a theft from those who hunger and are 
not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.  This world in arms 
is not spending money alone.  It is spending the sweat of its laboreres, 
the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.  This is not 
a way of life at all in any true sense.  Under the clouds of war, it is
humanity hanging on a cross of iron.

Can you recommend a better method of government?  Okay, I *vote* for
anarchy.  (but we already have that.)

Democracy may suck big time;  but it is the best mechanism we know
so far.  However, there is nothing to indicate that one couldn't come up
with a better mechanism.  It is fairly obvious that we are not
going to get anything like a lasting solution under the framework
we have now (or the ones that have been proposed and discussed).

If one is truly interested in finding a solution, one should be
willing to consider and sue for radically different frameworks:
like a confederation of highly independent small units in
south Asia,  like a constitutional mechanism to address
disgruntled minority groups (instead of hedging long enough
till the blood starts flowing).

Our eggheads should perhaps start being prescriptive instead
of trying to play catch-up and explain.

Of course one realises the pitfalls involved.  But to hope, is
human.

It does seem attractive to get external factors involved.  But from
Kotte to IPKF, the lesson that we have learned again and again is
that external players are never altruistic.  There is always a
price to pay.

I was reading the news reports on the Clancy Fernando killing.
Certain journalists even when producing straight forward factual reports always
seem to "sign off" with particular biases.

In the case of Associated Press, Dexter Cruez, always finishes his reports
with,

     " Tamils, mostly Hindus, account for 18 percent of Sri Lanka's 17
   million people. Many complain of economic and cultural discrimination by
   Sinhalese, who are mostly Buddhist and make up 75 percent of the
   population. "


The current conflict is hardly as simple as a Buddhist vs. Hindu problem, but
repeated drilling-in of this type statement surely does have an effect on
shaping the views of the un-informed.

	We can all gripe about the short comings of
democracy but that's the best we got so far.Of course
a dictatorship would be nice and dandy as long as you are on

	Agreed on this one.Perhaps a more genuine
democracy would have helped on the way.Of course
we still have the 5 STAR democracy the old fox
used to blabber about.
>A military coup might be the way to go.
	To be frank every time one of the big
generals are bumped off I hold my breath thinking
ok here it comes.So far no signs of any of the
big ones thinking about doing a 'la Chile or a
Thailand'.I guess they are not realy interested
since they have all the power they can ever imagine
while the civilian leaders are having the "carnivals"
etc..
	Shucks it would be great if we had one for
a change so that we don't have to go and see the MP's
any more for jobs  etc..We'd have our privates

political booty!

Well the approach may actually be necessary,  but is it possible for

I don't believe that I wrote anything indicating only Jaffna peninsula as
the economic entity to be in Eelam. No. As far as the economy is concerned
it is from Mannar to Trincomalee and to the rice fields of Batticaloa.

As in the past, Jaffna peninsula will once again be vibrant economic unit, may
not be the most productive region(can't predict the future that clearly) but
certainly will play a crucial role in the economic future of Eelam.
How did you come up with a correlation between the laws of thermodynamcis
and the economic viability of Jaffna regions? Can you provide some insight
to your findings?
