Sri Lankan President finds echoes of own policy in new US 
President's stance

Source:  Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation 

	President  Ranasinghe  Premadasa  has  sent  a message of
felicitation  on the  inauguration  of Bill Clinton  as the  42nd
president of the USA. In his  message, the  President stated that
democratic  freedom has  been  strengthened not  only in the poli-
tical terms, but  also in terms of  providing equal opportunities
for all to share the fruits of economic initiative and enterprise...
The  President pointed out  that the new US President's vision of
putting people first  reflects his  own commitment  of empowering
the citizens  to be all  shareholders  in the  national endeavour.
Sri Lanka's  programme in  this direction  receives the  valuable
support of the United States.  He added  that  Sri Lanka  and the
United  States are bound by an abiding  commitment  to democratic
norms.  He expressed  the confidence  that the  warm and friendly
relations between the two countries would be further strengthened
during the term of office of the President, Bill Clinton.

	So they almost pulled it off this time too ? I mean who 
	can convince the good bishop of Colombo to call Mr.Pirbhakaran
	"Humane"!!
		Mr. Pirabhakaran Humane????
	The good bishop must have been sleeping for the last 15 years.
	Or perhaps a misplaced sense of humour!!!
	Hah ..Calling Mr Pirabhakaran "humane" would be akin to calling
	Jeffrey Dhammer a vegetarian! Or perhaps  Mr Milosovic
	of Serbia a mother Theresa.
		Grow up boys.Be real.All this "humane" facade was just
	to get those guns Kittu was bringing over right on time for
	the next offensive.Releasing 2 cops out of the hundreds taken
	was such a noble gesture.Of course the idiots in Colombo would
	have fallen for it hook, line and stinker if not for our 
	departed friend Kittu's little adventure at sea.
		Of course Kittu was bringing a peace proposal.The 
	proposal must have weighed tons since he needed a 600ton
	ship to carry the "peace proposal".Or was it just a final
	proposal to break off some more "pieces" from the island?
	Perhaps the stuff that was thrown overboard may have been
	part of the peace proposal too!! 
		And quit whinning about the "act of Piracy on
	international waters ".Since when did the LTTE start to
	abide by International law?Did you get permission from
	Interpol to murder our Rajiv?Or perhaps they were acting
	in accordance with international law when they massacred
	those countless Moslem, Sinnaleese women and Children
	few months back.Or maybe just maybe they were acting 
	under international law when they wiped out Padmanabha
	right here in Madras?
		Get a grip you terroists.The fat lady has started
        singing.Kittu got what he deserved .No more No less.
	The same awaits the others too. And then my friends we will
	start looking at your fund raising efforts to an International
	terroists organization and I am sure the INS and the FBI 
	would be very much interested in you persoanly.(Of course
	for the Canadian patrons the RCMP has already started doing
	it's job!!) 
		As for you Sinnaleese get off your butts and get a
	government that can govern  and an Army that can fight.

Isn't that Zen Buddhism?  Not quite the favorite flavor in Sri Lanka.

Are Scum like RRSuresh and Meenan Vishnu paid to sit at
school never graduate and keep posting JUNK. 

The Only Objective of the LTTE and these idiots is to
control the populace by terror and kill anyone who comes
in thier way. Remember the TELO leader and the shootout
in Madras.

Do these LTTE criminals have the support of the SriLankan
tamils, maybe only the ones who financially benefit from
Jaffna being ruled by the LTTE.

Where do they get the money and arms to fight the Sri-Lankan
Govt ?

They are trying to cause problems with the Indian Tamils in
N.America by quoting Periyar (The Biggest Racist Pig in Tamil
Nadu's history) and other unwanted junk.

I hope thier sys.admins take a look at the filth they post and
cancell thier accounts (Veiled Threats to other posters)

I dont like the Sri-Lankan Army but I HOPE THEY BUY A LOT OF
BOMBS, NAPALM AND SEND THE REST OF THE LTTE SCUM TO JOIN THIER
FRIEND KITU.

Subject: Consequences

This information is coming from reliable sources.

Kittu(a Central Committe member), a major and two captains of rank(LTTE)
committed suicide to avoid being tortured and questened by the Indian
navy. 
India assumes sole resbonsibility for their death. After all, IN
'pirated' the ship, MV Ahat, in international waters. It is simply an
illegal act.

It is of my view that an edgy naval officer was responsible for this tragedy.
Rao, having enough at hand already, must be regretting this affair.
Unless, this action was authorized from higher-ups in Delhi.

I must point out abother similar incident of serious consequences. It
was a crucial factor in triggering the all-out war between IPKF and
LTTE. The incident took place few days before the war began. At that
time, under the agreements between India and SL, LTTE was officials and
cadres had the freedom of movement(not armed). All was well. Then, a
boat close to northern shores of Jaffna with many top officials was
halted by the SR navy. All were arrested by the navy(13). LTTE made
protests to IPKF officers, reminding them of their obligations. The
officers involved didn't force the SL authorities to release the Tiger
leaders.
At the time of arrest, Tiger officials didn't make any resistanc for
they didn't brake any rules IPKF and LTTE had agreed upon. So much for
placinng trust with IPKF. En route to Colombo from Palaly(SR air-army
base in Jaffna), all 11 high ranking members of LTTE(of the 13)committed
suicide. Other breaches of trust committed by IPKF and their failure to
stop further Sinhalase made war unavoidable. It didn't take long at all
for Tamils to uncover India's true intentions. 

As before, India has courted the ire of Eelam Tamils again. Just as
before, India will feel the wrath.

sri lankan businessmen urged to study japanese

	a high ranking sri lankan state official urged local business-
men to learn the japanese language in  order to acquire higher manage-
ment skills.  industries, science  and technology  ministry secretary
a.s. jayawardene who addressed a management seminar was quoted by the
ministry  sources today  as saying that communication  problem has be-
come  a major  hindrance  blocking  the  flow  of technology transfer.
though the japanese expertise will be of immense value to sri lankans,
many small and middle japanese entrepreneurs are not able to  communi-
cate with sri lankans, the sources said. the best way out of the prob-
lem will be the  study of japanese language by sri lankans, they said.
the sri lankan official who made the keynote address on friday at the
seminar jointly  sponsored by the  overseas  technical scholarship of
japan and the japan - sri lanka  technical  and cultural  association
also valued the assistance sri lanka is receiving from japan to raise
the quality and productivity of sri lankan industries.

work. it currently needs more than  500 specialist  doctors parti-

experts have warned that surgical services in the country were on

Please note, however that this is not legal (Shri Lanka). The Constitution
