We're Better!

The JVP has gone back to saying that we should only negotiate with the LTTE if they lay down their weapons. Very '80s. Not really progressive. And what's even worse is that those warmongers might take up posts in the Government soon.

So we know the LTTE is a bad lot. The abduct children and put them in the battlefield. They kill Tamil and Sinhala civilians just because. They blow important people up, or snipe them.

But really, can the Government and it's supporters adopt this holier than thou attitude? We'll go to sittingnut, one who believe's in the present's Government's peace-with-honor policy.
to accuse the government of same oppressions is besides the point. rest of sri lanka enjoy most fundamental rights and when they are taken away citizens have recourse to courts, there is an active political opposition, a large proportion of population belong to various minorities and are politically influential, children's rights are legally protected, and political leadership is democratically elected. atrocities committed are investigated and as practically possible under limitation imposed by law of evidence and proper procedure perpetrators convicted. all this is not perfect but vastly better than anything under ltte


Try telling that to all the dead (sometimes decapitated) Tamil people showing up in various locations in Colombo and the suburbs, to all the people arbitrarily executed by the Army and the Navy in the Jaffna peninsula over the past 20 years, to all the people in Mannar, Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Ampara districts who have vansihed because they stood up to Army and Police brutality.

Anyways, the Government is better than the LTTE, a terrorist organization. Wow. Big Deal.

Great article Morq. I get so annoyed when people say SL govt is good when compared to LTTE. like u said big deal!

Here is another article that talks about state terror and the lack of will on GoSL to punish the perpertrators.

again, it is typical of morquendi not give the link to my post(same one too).as in previous post and to make the same point he made two days ago in my blog which i answered.
i will ask what i asked in the previous post.
is he afraid of others reading what i wrote in full, and my answers to his pathetic arguments(if one can call them that) already made there?here is the link - morality of peace

and as usual (one has to use this word a lot with morquendi ), he who was so concerned about military who fight and die for sl in in the previous post, have no regret in believing ltte propaganda and unsubtantiated evidence and convicting army and navy.

as i said
atrocities committed are investigated and as practically possible under limitation imposed by law of evidence and proper procedure perpetrators convicted.
does he want innocents convicted regardless of evidence and procedure ?

thanks for referring to dbs jeyaraj's site here. lol
morquendi and friends loves to quote him in their peacenik reports word for word without admitting the fact.

lack of will on GoSL to punish the perpertrators.
do you then agree that gosl should do its best to punish ltte leadership responsible for thousands of civilian deaths?
 
How can a claymore mine be laid in the Colombo district, especially in the vicinity of a navy camp? The situation is unbelievable! What is the level of security? How much can people watch their backs???!

For those of you who're wondering what I'm on about, the story is on my blog.
 
No post for 18 days... very unlike you! It is up to us to question when something's wrong with the system!:) - so Morq, where are you??
 
and the opposition while condoning every action of the government. I spoke to my friend who is reading for his psychology masters and he told me the people who sling mud at Ranil and the UNP are people who have undergone economical and cultural hardships and this is the way to let their frustration out. I’m not angry with you people but feel very sorry for you rural and suburban folk. a piece of advice; spend time reading a book on improving your English than slinging mud at the UNP.
