		Readers also should be aware of the concern the  
		"terminal tigers" have for their own brethern 
		engulfed in a mindless war back in Jaffna.While
		not agreeing with their methods I do have some
		respect for all those kids who are dying for a
		cause in Jaffna.They( at least the ones who
		opted to join the tigers on their own) have the
		 "balls" to be with their own people and fight it out 
		come what may.This obviously is not true in the 
		case of these "key board whacking tiger nerds"
		who given a chance would gladly accept a green
		card and stay over here in the states 
		or Canada.My request is plain and simple.If
		you believe in  your cause please go back to
		your Elam and join in the struggle and see
		what a time you can have in the shrubs of
		Mulativ.
			Yeah Yeah I know you'd ask me why
		I don't go back and fight on the other side.
		It is simply because I do not believe in this 
		crazy war and and I still belive that  Sri Lanka
		is big enough for all communities to live
		by in peace.
	
|>  And village folks supply their sons for the war.
		That is exactly what I am trying to express.
		Why does any body, be they sinhalese or tamil
		have to die in this crazy war.As far as the village
		folks supplying their children to the war, is'nt it
		the same over there in the north?Most of the well to
		do families who could afford to send their children 
		out of Jaffna have already done so.Only the poor 
		and the wrecthed are left back to fight YOUR glorious
		liberation war.While complaining about the lack of
		concern on the part of the sinhalese  they are the
		first to send their kids down to Colombo for safe
		keeping.
			At least on the part of those soldiers
		getting themselves blown up every day on the side
		of the government we should'nt forget that their 
		presence is  volunterly.This cannot
		be said of some of the kids who are fighting in 
		Jaffna.They are simply there because their parents
		could'nt cough up the gold soverigns demanded by
		the LTTE in lieu of military service in the "boys
		brigade".

		Yeah right you do have a vibrant democracy in place in 
		the north!!When will your Herr Prabha attend the next session
	 	of parliment?Oh perhaps he would be more at home with the
		goons beating the foreigners in Germany.

			Aw come on buddy if you want to be the 
		propagandist use your brains and do a good job.Do'nt
		just drivel on whtever your masters ask you to repeat!
		I thought you guys were smarter than that!! Ranjan
		was bumped of at HAvelock road in the city of Colombo
		and not on his way to Vavuniya as you say.(For those
		of my friends across the Palk strait who dont
		know about Sri Lanka ,Havelock road 
		and Vavuniya are different  as Himalacyas and 
		Sriperumbadur!!).
			While not being a fan of Ranjan  let me
		remind you a couple of things about him.
			Ranjan Wijeratne was the same defence  minister
		who gave you the Mitzubhzi jeeps rifles and bullets
		to shoot at the Indians(IPKF) when Herr Prabha and
		his minions were dilly dallying with the Sinhala 
		government.He is the same man who defended the LTTE
		when the opposition in Parliment wanted to know why
		the Sri lankan government was allowing the LTTE to 
		collect taxes in the North and East.(This was the
		time when the government was having "peace talks")
		This is the same man with whom your Johnny Walker 
		theoriticion Balasingham had "chit chats" over 
		at the Lanka Oberoi Hotel ! And finally this
		is the same Ranjan Wijeratne who ordered the Sri
		Lankan police to surrender without fighting the 
		Tigers believing the normal decorms of warfare
                expecting them to be treated as prisnors of war
                when the Peace talks broke down.(Incidently
		out of the more than 600 police personnel who
		surrendered to the LTTE only 40 are alive according
		to the International Red Cross others being 
		executed by the "Freedom fighters")

			Well thambi it is high time you join your
		"other thambi" back in Jaffna and  get a better 
		propagandist to serve the northern americas.We are
		eagerly waiting for the day when you are decorated
		IN BATTLE.Hah that would be the day when we in SCT
		can all proudly  we knew this "thambi guy"!!
