You ignorant Madrasis have gone mad. Its Sri Lanka, its not our country. They have the right to clean their country. How would we feel if Pakistan tells us not to kill Lashkar -e-Taiba militants ??Be realistic, get a life and stop being so insanely Madrasi. Good job SL Govt, kill them all.
Since Our central Government is not supporting Tamils, I propose that nest Prime Minister be A Tamil from TamilNadu.Next Congress Leader be A Tamil from TamilNadu.
Advocates, law coolege and other students fom Tamil nadu knows well that LTTE is a terrorists outfit and need to be demolished. They need not support LTTE. They should only support the innocent tamilians who are butchered by LTTE after making those innocents as shield to protect themselves. If these people are so concern about innocent tamilians they should offer their whole hearted help to the innocent tamilians. They need to be protected by all means. By doing all these nasty things at Tamil nadu, they are not going to help anyone. They must decide a corrected step forward.
Human shield? Have you been blinded by you hatred towards Tamils? The Singhala government declared a 'safe zone' and bombed the Tamils who went there for safety. You people are blinded by the term 'Terrorist' and the Sri Lankan government knows that. Terrorists are the people who bombard innocent civilians day and night by air and artillery. Not the ones who fight for a cause like self determination and self rule. What has LTTE done to you fools that you hate them so much? They have been fighting for same cause of achieving liberation for Tamils for decades. Unlike your Indian politicians who change their 'cause' as they wish. By the way before you start calling me a Tiger terrorist.... I am a Malaysian Tamil who is guilty of not being able to help our brothers in Eelam in the war against genocide.
