Speak for yourself. How many Lankan Tamils have met and talked with ? Ofcourse they do not want to go back to violence, but their wish was the armed conflict ended and a political solution replaced the armed conflict with a counter force to the Lankan Army still in place, to fall back on if anything changes in the future. Just like what happened during the 2002-2005 ceasefire.Sir, speak for yourself.
I am pretty damn sure Sri Lankan Tamils have no intention to go back to violence. For you, it is a salamander measuring contest, while for them, it is about getting their lives back together. For Amit, it is a strategic blunder. Indian Tamils will eat, sleep, and live happily. Rest of India will also eat, sleep, and live happily. It is the hapless Sri Lankan Tamils who will die and get maimed, in thousands, if this civil war continues; or if India tries to recreate another LTTE, for the sake of 'strategic depth' against SL.
I'm repeating for the 'n'th time that for the Lankan Tamils the LTTE were a necessary evil - to afford them a degree a relative protection from the devil incarnate.
Fine, the LTTE is the big bad guy...the Govt in New Delhi supported the destruction of LTTE [along with an indiscriminate killing of civilians] only because the Rajapksa Govt gave a commitment to India to immediately implement a political solution to the Tamil problem - what he called !3the Amendment and plus - .This I'm not saying, but said by SM Krishna. But now Rajapaksa has even denied that he said any such thing. Now who is the joker here ? Undoubtedly New Delhi. What is the guarentee that he will not do any such 'U-Turns' in the future also regarding other strategic commitment like not letting China set a naval base etc. ? As I said, New Delhi got played for a fool in Lanka - as it was in Nepal - and it will pay the price for it in future. The 'I-told-you-so' moment is not that far away.
