Well as we Say ,…. “NO SH*T SHERLOCK!”

Do we need a PhD to tell us this? War will inevitably lead to a deterioration in Human Rights…. What Fool thinks otherwise? Just Look at the USA and the deterioration of Human Rights in Iraq and Afghanistan – in the country that the rest of the World looks up to for being the Moral Standard in these things we see just how bad the USA can slip into the chaos of War.

But can we avoid it? Can a war be fought without people dying, or being deprived of Life and liberty? Only Liars will tell you otherwise…. though the question should be what else can be done? This is a War that is necessary because 25 years of Negotiations with the LTTE have been fruitless… So the fact that thousands will die as a result fo War is Tragic, and our people will suffer but the hope is that it will not be long lasting. Prolonged warfare will help no one. The hope is that this war ends soon. Anyone who seeks to drag this out by harping on about Human rights has a Hidden Agenda or is clueless as to the reality of War.

India carries out state terror against Kashmir freedom fighters. Therefore, it backs up the state terrorism of Sri Lanka. Pakistan also carries out state Terror. This is an ignored regional problem remaining to be addressed by other western states advocating human rights and the UN.

What Robert O Blake Jr. fails to address is that retaliatory violence, and violence from the originator have different purposes. In Sri Lanka, the violence from the originator, which is carried out by the armed forces, is purely the abuse of authority by the state, with the purpose to harm and decimate the Tamil people.

Retaliatory violence by the LTTE has a resistive purpose.

The use of the term “terrorism” for retaliatory violence is misuse of the word. If retaliatory violence is called “terrorism” originator violence should be called “initiative terror”. When initiated by the state, it should be called “state terror”

The 9/11 incident was “initiative terror”.

The GOSL is involved in state terror since 1958, which is softly termed as “human rights violations” by the International Community. They refrain from using the correct term of “state terror”. Therefore, the appropriate solution to the problem is not yet achieved.

Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee recently said that every country has a right to protect terrorism. Agreed. By the same arguments every citizen has a right to resist any state military terror with retaliatory military action because it is the citizens who elected the government. And any government derives its powers from the people. They have a right to protect themselves against state terror.

Every one knows that Mahinda Rajapakse speaks like a Sinhalese soldier than the president of his country.

Therefore, the Tamils of North East even have a right to the extreme of retaliatory terror, to protect themselves from the onslaught of state terror.
