LTTE is trying to show that "they're running" is FALSE.....they do that by killing/injuring people. This is why they are called terrorists: they make statements by killing civillians.

Tragedy has struck and almost fortyfive are injured. But for people like Suresh from Panadura ther is no grief, they cast comments to ridicule me for their 'kalakanni sathuta' and these are the pseudo patriots whose hearts bleed for this nation. What a pathetic set of humbugs who emulate their political leaders of the MR Chinthanaya.

hey 2day 5 displaced people killed in SL Army shelling in Vanni. Now this..We ( Tamil, Sinhalease ) dont know the value of human lives..the western world going somewhere and devoloping a lot..Its time for Sinha people and the government to realize that tamil people in this country need self determination and more rights..And its time for Prabaharan to realize that this problem should be solved by peace talk ....But it will never happen in this narrow minded TAmil and sinhala generation.. The government and The LTTE becoming more rasist and becoming more narrow minded about their views
