[b]Will Solheim let Prabhakaran abduct his children?[/b]
By H.L.D. Mahindapala
President Mahinda Rajapakse's government is struggling, without the obligatory help from the Co-chairs and the "facilitator" Erik Solheim, to put an end either to (1) the escalating violence of the LTTE or (2) the increasing demands of the LTTE – both of which have undermined the peace process and any prospects of holding talks in Geneva. Even a blind man's dog can see that the LTTE exploits this twin-track tactics to consolidate its intransigent and belligerent politics.
Emboldened by the lack of meaningful intervention by the Co-chairs and Erik Solheim the LTTE thumbs its nose at the international community contemptuously. The situation has deteriorated to the point where the LTTE escalates violence even when their demands are granted. (Example: Transport to their commanders). Knowing that they can get away with violence they escalate demands backed by claymore mines.
As the situation deteriorates neither the Co-chairs nor Erik Solheim is prepared to say: "Enough is enough!". In his latest interview to AFP, Solheim has complained that he is frustrated with both sides for not showing any flexibility. This statement stretches the truth beyond sustainable limits. Presumably, the Royal Norwegian Foreign Ministry has not told him that the Chief Peace Monitor, Ulf Henricsson and his spokesperson, Helen Olafdottir had bluntly placed the blame on the LTTE for escalating the violence and piling demand after demand without compromising, blocking the road to Geneva.

Tigers ARE Against US Interests - despite recent claim
Since 9/11 the entire world knows the desire of terrorists all over the world to kill and hurt innocent civilians, claiming it is a statement against the government. Those who know about Tigers can attest that they are equal or worst than Al Quida - plus they have infiltrated the western media and many governments. Look at the sham they are helping perpetrate against the people of Sri Lanka by conniving with the arms dealing nation of Norway. On the surface Norway appears to be peace making but it is their ultimate goal to help carve out a Tiger nest in northern Sri Lanka. Recent reprts by BBC indicate that they to have been infiltrated by Tiger supporters.
Former citizens of Sri Lanka now residing in other countries continue to send money to help Tigers kill and pillage poor villagers. It is clearly an ego trip for these fools. Some are also blackmailed by Tigers into giving their cash - see the recent Human Rights Watch report on this topic.
Is it not funny that the Tiger leadership have sent their kin to other countries to study for peaceful careers while they kidnap the kids of poor villagers and force them to join their Tiger baby brigades that carry guns and knives with cyanide pellets around their necks. The hypocrisy of this band of international thugs is amazing and they are getting away with it mostly due to coverups by nations like Norway.
Those of us who can see this fraud must act NOW to expose Tigers as a major threat to international peace - not unlike AL Quida. We need to help expose the links between Tigers and illegal drugs trade, extortion, prostitution, arms trading among terrorist groups etc. Those of us who want to see peace return to Sri Lanka will be guilty if we keep quiet and do nothing. Every Tiger supporter is helping perpetrate crimes against Sri Lanka through their money contributions - that is blood money that I hope will revisit their loved ones some day.
If the US is truly against international terrorists then they must see Tigers for who they are and take steps to eliminate them. Seems like the Indians want to just watch until it becomes a disaster and then step in to take over the entire northern Sri Lanka. The US must not let that happen.

As per government statistics,
1971- There were 21,000 Sinhalese living in Jaffna
Today- none
Today there are 400,000 Tamils living in South of Sri Lanaka under the rule of the GOSL than in 1983.
How do you plan to free these people?
Do they prefer to live under the GOSL rather than live under the Tamil regime of LTTE?

I can't agree more.
Question is will the tigers allow GOSL to free them without a conforntation?
Remember they are the Sole/soul representatives of tamils.[/quote]
I don't agree.

If I agree to this, it's like saying I see no evil, everything is rosy over here.
It is unfortunate to say tamils are not free even outside SL, where so called the dream world exist. They are not allowed to follow the American, Canadian, Norwegian, British dreams... etc.
It is not the GOSL, it is the sole rep doing that.
Only thing I agree is, it will be immpossible for the GOSL to free tamils because of the hatred between the two ethnic groups.
There is no Utopia yet in this world. Corruption exists at every level in every country.
What they need in SL is the fair treatment and the equal opportunity.
SriLankans are divided along the ethnic lines and nationalists of both ethnic groups are responsible for that.
But terrorism is not the answer.

Confrontation has been Prabhakaran's ultimate goal always to carve out a seperate kingdom for himself and slowly and surely he is dragging everybody towards a bloodbath.We have tried peaceful options in many ways and many times since 1985 but to no avail.These people simply doesn't want to find a solution by discussion.
It seems like violence,bloodbaths and destruction is something they need without fail day in day out for them to rejuvanate themselves.Can a country go on like this forever?
How long can a nation continue with day to day butcherings,part of the country in anarchy and without democracy and without a solution and a non existant ceasefire agreement?
Peace talks and discussions were mere illusions to regroup and rearm his movement and the way he is going I think his wish for a war is going to be granted soon by whatever divine power he is worshipping and people of Sri Lanka will oblige with his request and will destroy the menace forever.Sri Lankans have the resources,international goodwill at present and the strength to do it and the only thing lacking is the political will and ultimately and very soon LTTE will force the vascilating politicians to take a firm stand for the sake of the country.
Unfortunately it looks like confrontation is the only way now considering LTTE's phobia of a lasting solution and peace by dialogue.
Prabhakaran leaves people of Sri Lanka no other option than a militarily offensive to vanquish him to save the soul of just not the Tamils but all communities.

Solheim and Prabhakaran are not interested in the welfare of Tamils at all.From Solheim's point of view this is a good opportunity to gain publicity and all Tamil votes in Norway to his party and if possible to drill oil wells in the North and East to take our wealth away.
Solheim's and Prabhakaran's children are doing just fine.They don't even know the colour of a bullet and are unable to differentiate between an elephant and a battle tank.They are experincing the real innocence of childhood,youth and proper education in far away lands well away from child soldiers,claymores and suicide bombs exploding everyday and everywhere.This is like a fairy tale.
Prabhakaran doesn't want his chidren to join the outfit, instead his son is in England doing business studies and the daughter in Ireland doing medicine using the money meant for the liberation of Tamils and all LTTE big wigs in England and Norway are babysitting for his and other LTTE leaders children.
There is not even a whimper regarding this corruption from the pro LTTE writers preaching day and night 24/7 about justice and fairness.May be because they are exempt from paying taxes when they arrive in SL for the services rendered.Not a bad brgain considering how much others have to pay to cross Omanthai.
How come something not good enough for his children is good enough for the chidren of Tamils in SL?
When he starts the next war it would be chidren of the poor Tamils that would be used as cannon fodder to die in battle as human wave guniea pigs and it's time for the Tamils worldwide to stop funding them and support other Tamil leaders capable of finding a lasting democratic solution.
In the name of the liberation of Tamils,Tamil people of Sri Lanka and overseas have suffered enormously at the hands of LTTE than at the hands of the GOSL and well and truly they have become mere slaves without any human rights under their rule and influence.
Freeing Tamils from the brutal and corrupt LTTE clutches would be the priority and the humane thing to do even before thinking about other solutions.

High time Mr. Solheim realize that [i][b]baby sitting with the LTTE [/b][/i]is not going to work any more in the future. This has been the scenario for the past few peace talks. When the peace [i]talks are near[/i], [b]LTTE will step up its terror campaign and start attacking the government forces[/b]. Especially this time they have decided to mainly attack the Navy. When they started the Elam War 3, it was the air force. Due to the eagerness to get the LTTE to peace talk, [i][b]GOSL and the Norwegians will go begging to the LTTE to come to the peace talks[/b][/i]. This conveniently let go of the terror they have done in the recent past. After much convincing, the LTTE will attend the peace talks on the demand that the government will not talk of their acts. If the government starts to bring up them, Mr. Balasingham would ask Mr. Solheim to stop that. He to would be very pleased to do so. This is what exactly happened during the peace talks at Geneva. When the [i][b]IGP brought up the issue with the killing of Mr. Kadiragama with the proof of finger prints, this was swept under the carpet by Mr. Solheim. [u]If you question why he did it, he would say that this was done in the best interest of taking the peace process forward. [/u][/b][/i]
If you ask Mr. Solheim to send his children to join the LTTE, [b]he might even let them go[/b]. He would still prefer to remain as the peace facilitator than to hang on to four kids from his previous marriage. If he is so interested in the well being of the Tamil kids taken away from their parents to join the LTTE, he had so much of time in the past to protest against it. He is not that stupid not to read the comments and reports forwarded by the UNICEF and other agencies regarding child recruitment of the LTTE. If the Norwegians are so serious about it, would they have let the LTTE to operate their offices and other activities on their soil for all the years?

I don' think RanilW's approach work now with LTTE or it should be used.
Insted, GOSL should stop dancing to the tune of LTTE.
