Eric Fernando A.C.M.A.., A,T,F,A., Kandy, Sri-Lanka : This is perhaps the easiest of FAQ’s to answer. Let me put it bluntly. He is playing Dr. Jekyl and Mr.Hyde or more appropriately “Dawal Migel Re Daniel. The sincerity of a person is manifested not so much in what he writes or says but in his actions.
Sadly, their statements and conduct are negatively or inversely correlated. Your FAQ is worded as “PIECE” but my fear is the WHOLE rather than the PIECE. The processing cycle started (and continues) with elimination of their own community people who stand on their way and once that is completed the next stage of increasing the market size will begin, a fine strategy which most of our sinhalese are yet to realise.
Saumi Weerawansa, Los Angeles (3 May 2002) - .In the heat of yet another about-to-fail peace agreement with the LTTE (the multi-faced, not-to- be -trusted terrorist organization) it is definitely 'piece' and not 'peace' that Prabhakaran is after (I tried to put 'man' instead of the name but the software wouldn't accept it due to incompatibility!) Why else is the LTTE smuggling weapons under the loving care and scrutiny of the Norwegian peace delegation? They are just buying time till all the international ha-ho of 'fighting against terrorism dies off. (Too bad Israel started on Arafat on top of that!) Then back to dance! Boy, didn't the devil look uncomfortable in the white suit instead of his usual bloody guerilla kit at the 'hell of a joke' press conference in Vanni recently! Soak the white kit in all the blood of the people you killed so far, then wear it, you'll feel just fine !!!!!!!!!
Dharmasena R, Abu Dhabi. (21 Jan 2002) -
Thoughts of Moderates
- Some enthusiastic in our beloved country is in a mighty hurry to jump into the "peace mire" without seeing the consequences. The innocent
public face great danger at the helms of our shortsighted leadership and their unwarranted decision-makings.
The most unfortunate thing is this miserable Pirabhakaran does not know the difference between the good and
the bad. Thus as per our old saying, “the leech cannot be kept on a mattress” he is not happy to accept any
peace. He is afraid of peaceful living, which is alien to him and has no experience of. He is terrified to emerge
from the jungle hideouts to live with normal people, shelving his armour, and accept cultural norms. Many of
his enemies are in wait throughout the country, for vengeance of his inhuman atrocities and carnage brought
upon them, during the past two decades, so he cannot survive in civilized environment sans, his
long-accustomed arms.
In a pensive mood it came to my mind lately, some ideas which bothered me a lot, made very much inquisitive
to know whether it's my imagination or coincidence or any other phenomenon, behind these factual incidents.
1) During President J.R.Jayawardhane's time Indian P.M. Rajeev Gandhi, tried to bring this megalomaniac,
Pirabakaran to the negotiation table, but the process was tumbled down abruptly. The end result was Loss
o a Prime Minister to India.
2) Then our next President Mr. R.Premadasa, tried pampering and rearing the formidable terrorist outfit
without knowing the imminent perils, and tried to negotiate peace. The end result was Loss of a President to
Sri Lanka.
3) Third instance was by our lady President, following her dead- (murdered) husband's friendship with some
of these terror-mongers, and ensuing the idealism he nurtured, tried her best to come to some compromise
with this monster. But what he did? Surprise attacks and more devastation than any other govt. faced and the
humiliation and degradation the country and the govt. achieved, internally and internationally. The end result
was the Loss of an eye of the Lady and the country in deeper social and economic quagmire and misery.
4) Now the latest heroism, by our new Prime Minister with his church propagandists and so called "moderate
Tamil leaders" are now in fray with the moderate Singhalese, rather than the terrorists to uplift their living condition and pave way for their long waited "Elam".
Who knows the end result? We wish him all the success and hope no more loss of lives especially of "Political Elite Hierarchy".
Remember the Hon.P.M's message to the nation on the 47th annual convention of U.N.P at the town hall. "I will not allow anyone to set
the country on fire again in the guise of protesting against a solution to the war.”
My sincere appeal is, that even though we all crave for peaceful, comfortable and blissful living, we have to
remember with whom we are dealing with, through past experience and approach with utmost care and utter shrewdness.
