	  He got the wrong forum. I suggest sc.sri-lanka.

		For your information mister the internet or the Usenet is NOT
		financed by money  from NARCO-TERRORISM or RANSOM money
		 or by drug pushers!
		It is a free forum where every one has a right to speak,
		write, or whatever within the bounds of civil decency.
		This is not a pipe for LTTE propaganda nor is it a 
		place for TAMIL,SINHALA or BRAHMIN bashing.As long
		as we keep within these bounds I will  write what
		I want and certainly encourage others to do so too.
			Now getting back to the original posting
		instead of contemplating on the issues I raised on 
		it you are just plastering us all with a bunch of
		quoted words such as "peace,brotherhood etc..".It
		was not my original intention and neither is it now
		to defend the government of Sri Lanka. They have qualified/un-
		qualified people to do that job. Besides it is the least
		of my worries.
			My intention was to expose the LTTE for it's
		double talk and hypocracy.Also the unfairness of painting
		the whole SINHALA community as a racist community
		which  does not have any concern for our Tamil brethern 
		in the north.INSTEAD OF ANSWERING OR COMMENTING ON THE
		POINTS I RAISED YOU JUST WANT ME TO GO AWAY.(To SCSL)
		Well I have no intention of oblighing you or any of
		the terminal terrorists for that matter.As for you
		if you are not happy with what I write you 
		can point out to me and the other readers where	I
		am wrong or just ignore me.(Hey it is pretty easy.
		Just put me in your kill file!!)
			I would still go ahead and expose the lies
		and the half truths the propagandists like you 
		are unloading on my friends across the palk strait. 


       |> I can a smell a rat a mile away.
			Well this confirms my original post.Those
		who have the balls to fight for their Elam are
		already doing their job in Sri-Lanka.Only the 
		paper tigers are left here to wag their tails.
		My dear sir if you can smell a rat the only conclusion
		I can come to is that you are a CAT ( or a pussy ).
		Or may be a crazy pussy since none of the others on
		SCT can smell a rat!!!

            ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^  

		 	First before expressing (or exposing) your self
		 to the
		whole net use your brain (without sitting on it if I
		may say so!!) and get your Math straight.83 to present
		is NOT seven years since this is 1992!!
		Wheew I would
		shudder to think about getting CIVIL ENGINEERS from 
		CMU who cant ADD!!
			See it is pretty simple
			1992-1983=9 years
		Perhaps may I suggest MATH101?
			Any way now that we got the years straitened
		out lets talk about those 9 years.Here is the score 
		card just to show that we were not sleeping as you 
		alledge.
		1984
			  Dollor and Kent Farms.
				Tiger death squad massacred 300 men
		          women and children.They were all tied up
			  and made to lie down before being urinated
			  over by our brave Freedom Fighters.

			  led by the LTTE murderer VICTOR FUSELESS.
		1985      Assasination of the two TULF mp's in Jaffna
			  ( Yes I know I know they were traitors since
			   they din't prostrate in front of HERR PRABHA)
		
		1986     450 blown up to pieces in the heart of Colombo
			 by a car bomb.
		1986	 40 killed by a hidden time bomb at the Colombo
			  overseas telecommunications exchange.
		1986     Blowing up of the AIR-LANKA tristar jet with 
		         350 passengers.Fortunately for the passengers the
			 flight was delayed and the bomb exploded while on
			 the ground.Nevertheless 30 people including 
			 airline personnel and japanese tourists killed.
                1987     Bomb explosion by the freedom fighters at Maradana
			 in the heart of Colombo.150 dead and 450 injured.
                1987     Cowardly murder of a Japanese monk on his way to
			 Jaffna on a one man plea for peace.Stabbed and shot
			 to death.
		1987      waylaying of 2 buses on the KAntalai-Kandy road
			 by the LTTE .300 men women and chldren butchered.
		 1987     Butchering 40 buddhist monks including some even
			 young as 9 years at Arantalawa on the Ampara road.
		1987     murder and plunder at Trincomalee and Baticaloe 
			 soon after the breakdown of the INDO-LANKA peace
			 pact.More than 400 men women and children killed
			 and in some cases burnt alive in their own houses.
		1987     	The killing of the 5 crew members of the
			television crew who were in Jaffna to report on 
			the  progress of the INDO LANKA peace pact.Victims
			including the engineer Mr.Athanayake were tied up
			on lamp posts and rubber tires filled with gasoline
			placed around their necks and burnt alive.
		1987     	Killing 18 soldiers who were prisnors of the
			LTTE and dumping their bodies on the Jaffna bus stand
			eventhough they were Prisnors of war.
		1987         Necklacing (i.e. placing rubber tires around the 
			neck and setting fire) 32 Indian paratroopers who 
			surrendered to the LTTE after an abortive attack on the
			Jaffna campus area.
		1987?    Murder of Dr.Rajini Thirangama of the faculty of 
			medicine.At a time when all the academics were leaving
			the Jaffna campus due to security concerns she single
			handedly managed the Department of Physiology at the
			med school.Her crime for being shot while riding home
			in  her bicycle
				1.Writing a book called "The Broken Palmyrah"
			 which narrated the life in Jaffna under bothe the LTTE 
			and the IPKF.
				2.Having the misfortune of being married to a
				  Sinhalese!
  
              1989    	Unprovoked killing of more than 600 policemen in the north
		  	and East after they were ordered to surrender to the LTTE
			by the government in Colombo in the hope that they
			would be treated as POW's under internatinal law.
			In fact when the order to surrender was received non
			of these policemen had any qualms about it since they
			were in real friendly terms with the LTTE cardre with 
			whom they were carrying joint patrols.Such was the 
			trechary of the freedom fighters that they even promised
			the prisoners that their lives would be spared if they
			were shown the keys to the armory.Needless to say all
			except  40 of these policemen were lined up against
			the jungle and shot.The accounts of this trechary 	
			have been disclosed by two of the prisoners who managed
			to fake dead.
	      1991
	                 Kalawanchikudy massacre of the moslem prayer goers by 
			freedom fighters.Total death was around 400.Small boys
			who ran away from the killers were rounded up and shot
			placing the guns in their mouths.
				
	    
				This is just a list of some of the major abuses
			the LTTE were responsible and in no way is a complete
			list.However this does'nt in any way absolve the security
			forces for their abuses in this time period.As I said 
			earlier it is not my intention to defend the Sri Lankan 
			government nor it's security forces.
                               I hope that this	will not be construed as an
                        attempt to generalise that all tamils in jaffna are LTTE
                         tigers.As a matter of fact nothing can be further 
                        from the truth.The tamils I have known during my life
                        have always been the best I could ever hope for from 
                        any decent human being.The fact of the matter is that
			the LTTE has created a system that is so repressive
			that there is hardly any oppositon for their facsist
			progrmmes in the north of Sri Lanka.They in their heart
			have serious doubts about their own viabilty as a 
			democratic alternative for the hearts and minds of the
			Jaffna man.Hence the continous war like state and a 
			prolonged military stalemate .In fact when the peace
			negotiations were going on with the Government of 
			Sri Lanka they were offered a package of power 
			devolution that was nothing but an Elam under a 
			different name.When the talks were progressing
			with every adavantage towards them they simply
			panicked since their cadre were leaving them in droves
			thus exposing HERR PRABHA.
				This was why  the war was restarted and the
			 massacres of the policemen.
				As I see it there are vested interests who
			are keen on the continuation of this stupid war
			which is not going anywhere.There are the bogus refugees
			who have every thing to loose if peace breaks out in
			Sri-lanka since that will force the Western governments
			repatriate them to SriLanka.Hence we get these postings
			encouraging the continuation of the war appearing on
			SCT.The other culprit of the problem is the Sri-lankan
			government which tends to thrive on the enimity rather
			than the unity among the different communities in Sri
			Lanka


|> After all, who would get offended when someone calls the SL government repressive?
				Sir If you stop sitting on your brain and start
			using it for a change you will realise that I was not
			offended by any attack on the government but by your
			utter stupidity for trying to generalise things be it 
			on the side of the LTTE or the Sinhalese.
 
|> A minister's son?
			Sorry to disappoint you but the answer to your question
			is in the negative.I do regret that I cannot provide you
			the oppturinity to paint me as some ministers son or some
			one connected to the government.I know it would have
			 provided you with an easy way out of the argument but
		        sorry NO CAN DO.
				The only relatinship I have with a minister is to
			a christian minister and that is also by marriage!!(:-)
|> Or someone with 'ties' to the government. Many possiblitie.
 		
				and next time try to understand the message 
			rather than trying to kill the meesenger by all these
			silly remarks about being a ministers son.
			
				so long thambi

p.s.:==
  	
			My original qurey still stands.What the hell are you
			 doing here while your comrades in arms are dying
		       for YOUR Elam?
