 <description>author of the article seems to be arguing that as long as ltte is able to explode bombs it should be negotiated with. may be she should advocate that tactic with bombers, terrorists and criminals everywhere who want to blackmail others through violence. ltte should only be negotiated with only if they give up violence not before. inability to understand this was electorally fatal to the previous prime minster&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;coming to the above comment;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;in fact the only ethnically cleansed parts of sri lanka are under the ltte, where long suffering 100% tamil population has to endure tiger oppression. more tamils live under the government controlled areas and whenever given the choice, as in east recently, they have chosen to live under government. the sites which the previous commenter wants to link are run by organizations that have been exposed as is terrorist fronts and engaged in arms buying, by fbi.</description>

 <description>Dear Editor,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Very well written article about the current volatile situation of Srilanka where the Srilanka behaving like a dog in the manger by not allowing Tamils to have a proper autonomy while unleasing slow genocide of Tamils with impunity which force the Tamils to proceed with Separation campaign violently against the Srilankan callous Military cowards who continue to starve the Tamils to death and bombing them daily in order to ethnically cleanse them from Srilanka and succeeded ethnic cleansing of tamils in the most parts of East where the Sinhala population grown to near 40% from just under 1% in 1948 while the Tamil population shrinked near 40% from 78% in 1948- thanks to Srilankan systematic Ethnic Cleansing of Tamils and Muslims since 1948 to date.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And i urge the openDemocracy to link to WWW.TAMINATION.ORG, http://www.troonline.org/&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://www.tchr.net/ to be neutral because open democracy only have the Srilankan link for malicious propaganda of so called Srilankan democracy forum whoch is one sided and biased against Tamils.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanking you and hope that openDemocracy will include those Tamils Human Rights organisations with the Srilankan democracy forum to be neutral.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;yours truly,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jesen</description>
