LTTE

Tamils might need more recognition in Sri Lanka, but LTTE, with its unwavering violence oriented responses on the whole, has never done any good to their cause. Examples in south and west Asia have clearly shown how violent techniques to demand even justifiable rights have resulted in stand-off positions spreading over decades. Democracy has always provided the most wonderful structures for minorities to reclaim rightful privileges, and in the shortest time. Sri Lanka is surely not an autocracy, and still runs on the very tenets that democracy stands for. LTTE has been repeatedly provided the opportunity to undertake collective bargaining and democratic negotiation; offers which have been repeatedly spurned due to extremely myopic fears of losing out on territories gained till now. LTTE, and of course the Sri Lankan government, should realise that the straightforward solution to resolving the current conflict is in a few magic words – literacy, healthcare support, employment opportunities, improvements in per capita income and standards of living. Pray tell us, how tough can that be, compared to the billions of dollars wasted by both sides on war?
