Just out of curiosity, what is it that you do? As in, to make money? Did your parents die and leave you a multi-billion dollar fortune? or do you work a 9 - 5 job? (perhaps at wallmart) Please do let me know. Thanxxxx Byee :) Hi sittingnut, been trying to read your comments and posts over the last few years. Just out of curiosity, what is it that you do?

"at the end of the day this war really was an ethnic conflict" - how many out there understand the basic of this?!?! Just cause weapons were taken to try and resolve a conflict, it doesnt change the casue for what it all started on. Until you understand / comprehend your past and mistakes, your never going to get to the future how you see it. Conflict-less & United SRI LANKA (so called).

lol . typical superficiality from you but just don’t presume to attribute your imperfect understanding on me .

there was/is terrorism and a war against terrorism. but i don’t narrow ‘everything’ to it (in fact it is ppl like electra who do that when they choose to see and believe that ethnic grievances cause terrorism when it is more complex.)

i am for addressing grievances separately from terrorism bc they are separate as any clear eyed rational examination will show .
bc they are separate, the answer to each is different .

terrorist violence, past or future, should not be tolerated and any one engaged in that should be treated as criminals and defeated with violence if needs be.

all grievances (not just of one ethnic group. in fact it is unjust and a grievance by itself to give priority to one group bc some criminals used them as excuse for violence) should be addressed through democratic process (imperfect and corrupt as it always is everywhere ). meaning resulting unsatisfying compromises will be arrived at through hard bargaining between various interest groups according to their political weight and tactical effectiveness. that is best that can be had .

if you are not satisfied that your group did not get what they want, too bad . life is a bitch (and btw not everyone gets to be rich either.). just don’t be violent bc if you do, you should be treated as criminal. same as ppl who, unsatisfied at their poverty, try to get rich through violence .

that is how i see it ( and saw it, bc i have said this before )
and it is the most realistic, rational, and ethical, way to see it.
in contrast peaceniks choose to follow the racist understanding of the issue, simplifying grievances as the cause of terrorism. they then working from that racist understanding of situation advocated and supported appeasement of terrorists for ‘peace’( one of the most unrealistic and unethical cause of actions possible; completely against all ‘decent’ principles as well as being unsustainable ) .

and since you bring me to it, i am proud to say i opposed peaceniks then as now while most of the ppl here did not .
unless one is sees reality, think rationally and judge ethically one will be wrong. i was right and i will be right.
