“Now that we have the LTTE on the ropes, this is the best time to talk peace. We can win the hearts and minds of the Tamil population in the Wanni. Even if we take the Wanni (which we will), I fear we will become like Iraq (2 bombs per day somewhere in the country). This would be a disaster to us (‘us’ meaning those who still live in SL–you people who live outside don’t have to worry about this).”

I feel your pain, especially for someone runing a sucessful business. War is not good for the economy. You certainly have every right to demand how this war is conducted. Everyone knows what the LTTE wants (a seperate state) but do you think the violence will stop if this is granted to the LTTE. I go to India every year to see some relatives near the Bangladesh border. There is permanent unofficial warfare between the Indian Border Security Force and Bangladesh Riffles near the border areas of these countries. Mind you this is a country India created. The people are ethnically the same, the national anthem is composed by the same person. The same thing happed betweened India and Pakistan. After the British drew the borders between India and Pakistan, there has been permament warfare between these countries. Each country is intent on detabalizing the other. The LTTE claim to a seperate state will not end with VP getting eelam. There will no doubt be a pause like what happend after the CFA, and then the LTTE will no doubt attempt to destroy what would be remining of the Sri Lankan state.
