Bailaman : A high profile Tamil Tiger amongst Merak boat people?

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:28:44 +0000

Where is Kohona or GOSL mentioned in the above? Your comment is irrelevant. FYI as much as you find it hard to believe, no one but a few Tamils ever supported the Tigers. Sri Lanka does not consist of Singhalese and Tamils? It consists of Memons, Burghers, Sunni-Muslims, Boras, Malays, veddhas, kaffirs and other minorities. NONE supported your call for a separate state. I repeat none. So your enemy is all people of Sri Lanka barring extremist like you.

Hi Suthan, Thank you for the comments. But in order to keep the debate legitimate I ask you respectfully to comment under one user name and stop pretending. You are not in Jaffna. Your IP says that you are in the UK. I did realise the importance of the boat in Merak, but going by the intensity of these comments, I am more convinced now that there is someone, or several people on that boat that the sympathisers of the LTTE want to see on Australian soil.

Paying a Human Smuggler = Breaking the law. Those who break the law are called criminals.

You agree with the user ID 'Madugalle' because you are Madugalle. I know all your various aliases you use here to spread hate, they all match the same IP.

Bailaman : Fonseka for president? Rajapaksa will have the last laugh

Achala as I mentioned in a comment above, if people are disgusted with Rajapaksa, you won't need Fonseka running for president. No one will vote for Rajapaksa. The very reason Fonseka is running is because the opposition needed a popular man from within Rajapaksa's camp to win them an election.

Suresh, Everyone thinks that my opinions are biased in one way or the other. The Tigers think I'm biased, the UNP and JVP think I'm biased. Heck, even the Sinhalese nationalist come here and call me a NGO crook and traitor after reading one line I wrote somewhere. Banana Republic is a term the yuppies applied to any nation that according to their yard stick of measure is unstable. Under Fonseka, or under MR, even under Ranil, a third world country is what we will be. You can call it Coconut Republic if you like but none of it is going to change because Fonseka becomes president. Only 6 months has passed since the end of full scare war. You cant expect things on the island to change in 6 months. I am not fond of Military men giving up their fatigues to run for president. A regime change, or a change in the government must come from the people. If the people are truly not satisfied with Rajapaksa, you don't need Fonseka to win you an election?

Thank you for the comment. Did you mean the date when the post was published? I have a guy who helps me with the whole technical side of this blog. I will see if he can help.

Now I have no doubt he wants to run for president. The timing of his resignation can't be a coincidence. This is probably the worst career move he has ever made. I guess the move to "promote" the popular general to a non operational CDS position backfired for the Rajapaksa brothers. I read somewhere that they wanted to give him less control of the army because of his immense popularity after defeating the Tigers. I don't think he will win. He may think that the masses support him because he was instrumental in defeating the Tigers, but the masses also know that his military strategy would have been useless if not for the will and the backing from the president and the defence secretary.

Fonseka has handed in his resignation. No information if Rajapaksa has accepted. "An official says Sri Lanka's top general who led the battle to crush the Tamil Tiger rebels and ended the island's civil war has resigned from his post. An official from the president office says the president's secretary received Gen. Sarath Fonseka's resignation letter Thursday. The official asked not to be named due to sensitivity of the issue." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM...

Bailaman : Galle Fort and Rifqa (Rifka) Bary

Mon, 7 Sep 2009 21:40:14 +0000

Spot on! I know I would call the police if anyone is in trouble. The judge has asked the two to mediate and come to some resolution. How is that possible when Rifqa's lawyer has her convinced that she will be killed? These people have convinced the poor impressionable girl that she is in danger. So mediation is not an option. She needs therapy! Nothing will come out of mediation when Rifqa's lawyer is part of a group of extremists who care not for this girl, but care more for scoring points over Islam. Why else would his case turn from honour killings to accusing Mr. Bary of having ties to terrorist? John Stemberger's argument has highlighted his ignorance and lack of understanding of anything that happens outside of his church and his state.

Sri Lanka is pretty confident they have enough evidence against him. In fact so confident that they are sending the EU a report on the case. http://www.colombopage.com/archive_091/Sep1252039... Enough said. Hope you have a blessed weekend! Peace!

Actually negotiation with terrorist for peace and taking money to print their views is different.
