Dear Bishan, this issue is so sensitive that only few people like Lional can talk straight and call spade a spade. Normally, you will hardly find people express their views freely. It is not worth the risk. Therefore, any statistical method chosen to judge the population will not give us the correct indication. In other wards, any samples chosen will not represent the true standing of the thamil population.

Secondly, the point in question is time, circumstance, and territory dependant. It is subjective and people are confused and they lost themselves. In other wards, they lost their clear and conscious mind. People are starving without food and dying without medicine and hospitals. Please put yourself in their(people in vanny) position and ask the question again.

We must put the "Victory and defeat” in a proper context. Other wise, it doesn’t make sense. Winning the hearts and minds of the people trapped in the war is the real victory. I don't think that these people need a victory over their hearts and minds at this moment. Leave these people alone.

Some of the people caught in the wanny jungle at the moment are from the villages near Trincomalee district boarder, Madawachi district boarder, Mannar, and Jaffna boarders of wanny. These peolple have been displaced and became refugees many times. The people in the kokilai, and wali oya region has been made refugees for more than 20 years.

This will give some idea about the state of these people.

Wijayapala,.... the real "hard reality" is that there is no such thing called "offering political solution" within the frame work of democracy. Majority rules the country. It is simple as that. There shouldn't be any one to give and any one to take. If we are really interested in finding a solution, we must come out of the square which is the current political frame work. There is no way around it.

It is not correct to perceive the LTTE as an entity or a group. It can't stand alone and it is an illusive force. We may not see the LTTE today as it is in 25 years time. Because the world is evolving and changing, therefore, the nature of the conflict will also change with it. The only way to get rid of the LTTE is to get rid of the reason for the existence of LTTE.
