My point is that if the GOSL delays in supplying these things as is obviously happening, then there is a valid argument for considering that the areas form two separate states, by implication.

Anyone who is paid a salary had their taxes taken out after a certain limit is reached. Just like the rest of the country. The fact that the GOSL cant implement it is not the concern of the population but of the government just like the GOSL is not/ unwilling to collect it. People in SL will never willingly give money to a government doesnt matter if TAmil or Sinhalese.

My counter argument to your initial views were based on the statement “so what” that you seemed to enjoy stating. That shows a lack of concern for people just like you and me. It is the very same attitude that was prevalent during JR’s time when dealing with the Tamil problem that made it into a terrorist problem and it is the same attitude prevalent in the this government as well. It is the Tigers defeating the Army in previous encounters of Eelam War 2 & 3 and the somewhat humanitarian/liberal outlook of CBK and Ranil that attitudes in the South (read Sinhalese) changed towards the ethnic problem. Now that the Forces won a few battles the thought line I mentioned earlier has resurfaced. Dont think that this war is going to be over soon. Check todays news, how many people loose their lives? I despise the Tigers showing dead bodies in the news, but the GOSL does it was well. Who is going to tell a
little four year old girl that her father isnt coming home any more? Will you go and do it?

If the GOSL does not adopt a more humane attitude in dealing with the Tamils, even if they “liberate” the Wanni they will never liberate the hearts of the Tamils. And until that happens you will never restore order in the North or for that matter anywhere else in the Country? Do you by the way call what we have in the South order? Order of the wild ass more like it!
Where is the hearts and minds campaign of this government?
If you still have the attitude “so what” then we will never learn.
I think you should give the hearts and minds campaign portfolio to Champika Ranawake or Wimal Weerawansa dont you?

JeyP
GoSL does supply those things (check with the Ministry of the Interior if you don’t believe me) including the Medical Supplies. If we stopped supplying those things it would be Human Rights Violations under the UN charter…

Electricity and Water have been provided for Free… Do your Income Taxes in the South of Sri Lanka provide you with Free Electricity and Water? Obviously not…

How do you think places like Killinochchi hospital function? 24 hours a day Generators? LOL!

there is Electricity provided to the whole North (and East prior to its Liberation) for FREE!

Yes teachers pay taxes,… and whom ever is on the government payroll… but everyone else? They have been getting a Free ride on the South for so long.

But don’t worry, when we go in there and Gut out the LTTE and clean up the Cancer that has formed …this year we’ll restore order to the North once again. Sit tight.

Dont those in the N & E also pay taxes like the rest of us? Arn’t taxes deducted from the Teachers salaries like in the rest of the country? Dont they pay VAT which is automatically added on to the price of items? So if they pay taxes like this are’nt they also eligible for all the things that those in the rest of the country are?
Idiots who don’t understand anything except the law of the gun thats who you both # 1 & 2 are! I didn’t know that there was GOSL supplied electricity in the LTTE controlled areas. I think #2 just says things for fun. Check your facts man before talking BS on a website!
If as the GOSL says this is nothing but a terrorist problem then they have to give the same benefits to those in the so called uncleared areas as the rest of the country. Otherwise dont give any aid and they let the GOSL say that there are indeed two countries!

HAhahahahahah

Medical Supplies
Teachers Salaries
Newspaper Paper Print
Electricity
Water

ALL FOR FREE to LTTE controlled areas…ALL PAID FOR BY THE SRI LANKAN TAX PAYER – De facto state? Defacto WELFARE STATE of EELAM.

Comment # 1 is correct? SO WHAT!???
