Support War for Greater Good

Only thing we can do after a bomb attack

For the past 30 years we were trying relentlessly to come to an agreement with the worlds most dangerous terrorists group Tamil Tigers (LTTE). It may have started as a freedom struggle. But with time, it has become an organization which prevents itself from coming to an agreeable solution. For the past years its leaders never even wanted to consider an alternate solution other than creating a separate land for minority Tamil population. All the time they were spreading revenge and hatred towards Sinhalese among their own people. It has been 30 years; those who were born during the time the problem started may never even have the chance to be with a Sinhalese. Their only option is to believe what their leaders have to say and to die the way they decide. Most of them are kids, less than 18 years, who doesn’t have any knowledge of the world outside the battlefield.

The organization has developed into a large business machine of international weapons trade, drugs, money and mafia. The people around them are so brain washed, willing to blow themselves-up, just to be born as a tree in a Tamil land while their leader’s kids can study safely in a European country to return and take up the business from dad. The leaders flee with their families to other countries when threatened, and leave 14 year kids on the frontline, or order women to blow themselves up for them to return (If the news of Piribahiran fleeing to India is true).

Can we ever come to an agreement and leave Tamil people with the hands of an organization like that? Take a look at LTTE killings so far this year, close to 10 bombs targeting innocent civilians, mostly buses. They have proved that they are capable of doing any inhuman act to achieve what they want. Lets assume that we agreed to offer nearly half of our country to them, aren’t we leaving those people with a group who doesn’t even respect basic human rights, like not using kids for war, not using suicide bombers, not targeting innocent people to achieve their goals, not stealing people money for their own benefits. If we do, it will definitely be the start of another problem far greater than the current situation.

I don’t see any other way to stop them from planning attacks, training terrorists and amassing weapons non other than by disorganizing their commanding structure. To achieve that, our army must capture their strongholds; it’s the only option that we have left with. Their recent attacks designed to create fear & panic among people, hoping to stop the army from reaching Vanni. I’m totally fed-up with this mayhem, to see people dead and blown to pieces everyday on the TV. Its time to decide, are we going to drag this war for another 10 or so years, spending billions of dollars which could have used to develop this country ,or end it now. If there was someone in our country 10 years before committed to thwart terrorists once and for all, what ever the cost, we would have been free by now.
