I am ela...Sam, Thanks for calling me a LTTE Stooge. I am elated to think that when you have no way of arguing you resort to name calling. <BR/><BR/>bodhi_dhana, the Dalai lama is a choosen position and not something which someone rises too. Hence I usually dont see merit in such appointments like Chandrika comming to where she is due only to her background.<BR/><BR/>Ranil its the same old Navindran but I am writting in certain ways to provoke an arugement. Look at Prabha hiding in his 30Ft deep down bunker and the Dalai Lama hiding in India. If the Dalai Lama dares to stay in China, he knows he is finished. Likewise Prabha to appear in public.<BR/><BR/>The Dalai Lama is calling for peace when he has stirred all the trouble in Tibet. This is what the chinese authorities are saying. Same way Prabha preaches for peace treaty and being within a united Sri lanka is bullshit.<BR/><BR/>The same view on the Tibet issue is held by Janaka Perera or do you think he also loves terrorist. The Dalai Lama has done nothing for the betterment of the Tibetians just like Prabha has done nothing for the betterment of the tamils. <BR/><BR/>China has invested alot of money into Tibet. Literacy rates are the highest its ever been. Siding with Tibet on purely religious grounds is unacceptable. Its akin to saying tamilnadu tamils have a right into Sri Lankan affairs just because the problem is with Sri Lankan tamils or Hindus. <BR/><BR/>China has been very helpful to Sri Lanka. Yes it could be to force India to be more foccused in her region then get involved in Tibet etc. However its only to Sri Lankas benifit. Hence its an issue since the Madhu church issue is brought to attention.<BR/><BR/>Its important to take Madhu but not at a cost where it will be a gift to Mrs Mahindha Rajapaske who could not go there thanks to LTTE not allowing armed escorts for the President and his wife. Religion should come second and the country should come first.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877388889244119062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-45697145834385185182008-04-04T10:23:00.000+05:302008-04-04T10:23:00.000+05:30SamI don't think Navindran meant to offend or diss...Sam<BR/><BR/>I don't think Navindran meant to offend or diss anyone. I have read his posts and I honestly don't think he is a LTTE stooge as you claim. <BR/><BR/>I feel the plight of the Tibetians, but if Sri Lanka were to side with the Dalai Lama on this issue, it would cost us a lot of Chinese help. Best for Lanka to remain neutral on this isseue if possible.<BR/><BR/>China is pretty much the only country willing to sell us advanced weaponry at a decent price without raising much ruckus over the human rights crap. We need them for both military and economic development.<BR/><BR/>The reason why India is so friendly to us these days is also indirectly linked to China. They fear that China and Pakistan could get bases in Lanka and that would pretty much mean the end of the Indian dream of a real sphere of Influence even before they got started as a super power. China will become an immovable presence in the Indian Ocean if we give them a base in the south of Lanka. That is the ultimate nightmare for India and its future ambitions.GoldenEaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097391147469779596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-39828013971446391592008-04-04T09:41:00.000+05:302008-04-04T09:41:00.000+05:30Rayappu is NOT a terrorist mate.show me where he h...Rayappu is NOT a terrorist mate.<BR/>show me where he has said anything to that affect on this issue. we don't know the exact ground situ and we don't know how exactly this moving of the statue took place. maybe he had no choice and without facts we shouldn't be name calling<BR/>we should also NOT shell the church even though the statue has been removed... we are much better than that mate...our forces are better than that.<BR/>that sorta shit we leave to the terrorists... they've always been good at it :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186351038561364738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-60746794402427851122008-04-04T09:31:00.000+05:302008-04-04T09:31:00.000+05:30""The LTTE has moved into the church and the SLA i...""The LTTE has moved into the church and the SLA is shelling them.

Rayappu and the catholic church are walking a fine line risking lives of many IMO.<BR/>This is exactly why Madhu battles will always be more surgical strikes...<BR/><BR/>And about moving the statue, i think that its for the best cos even if you are not a catholic...that statute is revered by many... i'm sure even the soldiers on the battlefield wouldn't want to be part of any action that will damage or destroy it by choice or by circumstances.<BR/>we are not terrorists to plan and strike sacred shrines and temples.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08186351038561364738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899907675904775235.post-43817171537788466952008-04-04T09:09:00.000+05:302008-04-04T09:09:00.000+05:30Hi bloggers, please look at the maphttp://www.geoc...Hi bloggers, please look at the map<BR/><BR/>http://www.geocities.com/place.names/<BR/>maps/mannarSLF.jpg<BR/><BR/>and you will see the battle area around Mannar with all the place names with their<BR/>original Sinhala names.<BR/><BR/>If you want more maps and more place names, more history, see<BR/><BR/>http://www.geocities.com/place.names/<BR/><BR/>The Madhu church is NOT 600 years old.<BR/>The write up on Madhu church, given at the above website is as follows:<BR/>(excluding various URL links)<BR/>------<BR/>Madhu Church (Mannarama [Mannar])<BR/>MADHU PALLIYA<BR/>This site had a Pattni temple till the 19th century.

(ii)The Dalai Lama has NOT supported separation from China, but supported remaining WITHIN china, as one of its states, and with the right to practice buddhism and Tibet's ancient culture. He has NOT gone around collecting money and buying arms. Instead he has preached nonviolence. His efforts to solve the problem peacefully should be accepted by China as it is to the benefit of China. But the Chinese leaders feel a bit insecure as they have little experience in dealing with dissenting opinions, or opinions other than those which come from the communist party.<BR/>The Dalai Lama has even stated that "non-violent sathyagrahas" are useless as they would be misused by the Chinese as an excuse to use force.<BR/><BR/>So those who attack the Dalai Lama, and even equate him to the Psycopathic Terrorist Prabakaran have really missed the boat or do so out of spite.<BR/><BR/>Sri Lanka's poltics of not getting involved in this battle is a sensible thing. You get involved in other people's fights only if you have the capacity to help.
