I think this is the work of JVP/JHU. They are looking regain the ground they lost recently at the local govt elections by inciting communal violence.

I agree with Ms Anonymous.

First of all, the army commander didn't die. Only some insignificant soldier boys did.

Secondly, the LTTE is committed to the ceasefire and doesn't benefit from wounding (important: not killing) the army commander.

Heck, I would even say the army commander himself is behind the attack.

hmmm...quite an interesting not to mention plausible conspiracy:), also why hasn't anyone questioned the fact that the media was not allowed on to the site of the blast...don't you find that quite strange?

Or may be, the Army Commander himself was carrying a bomb in his car and it blew up accidently. It was just plain coincidence that the pregnant woman just walked towards the car to say hello to the Commander and she got caught in the explosion. Poor girl feel sorry for her. She shouldnt have died.....

I think the army commander's wife planted the bomb in the car. Everyone knows she's sleeping with the navy chief.

I stumbled on to this blog, so please don't misunderstand my intentions.

I agree with Ashanthi's post, but why is that it is always the other party that has to change to achieve peace?

We can't do much about others hatred, specially of those who are born in to it, and then not know who to believe because of the way things stand.

But what about stoping hatred at home?

I am not sure Ashanthi comes across as someone who would try 'peace' if the roles were reversed.

If it is just to win an argument that's fine, but at what cost to oneself?

So why not lose hatred yourself, even when you are *certain* they are the one's full of hate?

Then maybe, maybe.

I still hope against hope.
