Wow..!! Sexy accent the "commentator" of this "movie" has got, Chanaka..LOL...!! The same guy with a 20% robotic voice mixed with an Antarctican English accent. Is it again from the "World Web News" who "reported" the "chemical and nuclear" weapons of Sri Lankan government?

Genocide does not mean ridding a country of a terrorist organizational and reestablishment of local government in an area ruled by a bunch of cold blooded killers and criminals under a dirty political flag of lies.

The Tamil people still exist they will. go back to their homes and hopefully will lead a normal life of peace. They will have the freedom to vote for Tamil politicians.

Stop the propaganda its all over and now its time the proper steps are taken to get self autonomy and thats a political process not a process of use of guns and bombs and killing innocent citizens in an acts of cold blooded terrorism.

Tamils are suppressed long before LTTE came into picture. LTTE came in the past 30 years only. But the systematic genocide on tamils is existing for the past 60 years. LTTE is the outcome of what happened to Tamils. If tamils get their self autonomy and their aspirations are respected it will be good. But there is no such symtoms seen so far. The motives of sinhalese governemts are different. It is very unlikely that all tamils kept under the concentration camps go alive to their home.

"Stop the propaganda its all over and now..."

No, they won't. That is the advantage you can have with professionals. They won't rest till the job in hand is completed. Even if they are convinced that it is an impossible job.

This is what the british did – they favored minority tamils to make the majority Sinhalese weak and silent. They seeded the theory of ‘divide and rule’.

This collaboration tries to do the same today !

Tamil politicians demanded these privileges over Sinhalese majority even after the british left. Then they demanded 50-50 power distribution in a country where 75% is Sinhalese and rest 25% includes tamils,muslims,Indian tamils,bergers,malays etc out of the tot population.

The tamils could not bare the power hand over to majority Sinhalese. This is the reason for tamil terrorism. The greediness!!!

Now the terrorism is wiped out; the east (former terrorist controlled area) has been given a political solution with the ex ltte’r (who had given up arms) in charge.

North will follow soon.

If British favoured tamils then why did they gave their combined country to sinhalese ?? Tamils are never given their rights and treated equally. Discrimination and supression of tamils in all possible ways ..

"As the Sinhalese took on control of the state, they introduced standardization for university admissions in 1970, i.e., adding 28 marks to every Sinhalese candidate, effectively giving Tamils lower grades for the same marks."

LOL..! Yeah..this is recession and downturn time - especially for KTTEs. KP is not being generous as before.Rather than recommendation I think KTTEs are in need of $ IMHO. They should put a $ icon next to their NP user IDs.

But don't feel sad. With every comment they will get NP points.

I hope that around 17 anons will recommend this "story" within an hour or so. Classical example for crowd power...!
