That your argument 65 years later? As I said, the Muslims who stayed chose to, you on the other hand are complaining that you weren't given a choice. Why should your feeling be put on a higher pedestal?
Why not ? After all it was your stated position that all of us started from the same post. Im simply reminding you that it was not the case.
...and if you know it was the LTTE that caused Ranil to lose the election. Tough luck.
Dont know why you keep coming to the LTTE. This is the point I have been alluding to. The concerns of the Lankan tamils goes beyond LTTE. That LTTE cannot be used as a stick to perpetually beat them with and whitewash crimes against them.
Nope. Any intervention would only have helped the LTTE. It was Indian government's stated policy to treat the LTTE as a terrorist organisation and its elimination was always going to be welcomed. Unlike what you say, there was no way to separate the civilians & kill only the LTTE.
First of all, no I dont believe the story that somehow saving the civilian non-combatants would have helped the LTTE. That is a perverse, heartless justification of the killing of the Tamil civilians by treating them as terrorists when in fact they were not.
As for no ways existing, then it was the duty of the so-called sovereign govt to find one. If not, they have lost the moral authority to rule the Tamilians then and there.
For what purpose? What national interest is served (not your sentiments) by doing what you say? Gambling for no reason is not good policy.
Gambling is the only alternative left. We have a 50-50 chance there instead of the 100% hostile, pro-Chinese mindset the current status-quo is breeding.
A 50% chance is anyday better than a 0% chance.
No, we are not but your version seems to be that we are "kow-towing" if we don't beat them on their head with a hammer.
Kow-towing is when we give into their concerns, repeatedly, when they are hostile to our interests and are in bed with our rivals.
Truth is not in the repository of "Tamils" alone.
Well in this case. It is. ASk any random non-Tamil why he supports the Lankan govt and you will invariably receive the "oh these madrasis, always crying Tamil , Tamil. Fack them" answer.
Nothing stopping you from looking at it from outside your box either.
I will, when the issue is emotionally concerned with them. In this case, however, we are the aggrieved party.
