'According to Army Commander Lt. General Sarath Fonseka, at least 9,000 rebels and 1,700 soldiers have been killed since early 2006,'

Same general said last year there are only 5000 rebels(previously 3000). Now he killed 9000 of them??!!!!

inflation is just another bi-product of the war against terrorism.
That's the reason why even the last week's general strike failed.

People do have hardships, but first they need peace and stability in the country, and they know they are paying the cost of it.

The president said he would go an extra mile for the peace. He offered to discuss with the terrorists. But the terrorists went on with their usual barberic acts. So what else can a civilized country can do other than neutralizing the evil?

Look at the eastern province. Now an ex-rebel has become the chief minister. Isn't this a wonderful news for all tamils that with mutual understanding and friendship they can achieve much more than with suicide bombers and child soldiers?

General Fonseka said there were about 3000 Tamil terrorists a year ago, because there were only so many at the time. The 6000 additional bodies are children and young men and women who have been forcibly conscripted by this monster called Prabhkaran who cares nothing for children. Just listen to the poor Tamil families that manage to escape the terrorists. Its sickening, what this Monster is doing.

Everyone knows that his gamble to create a mafia state for himself and his criminal cronies was not only impossible, but has now failed miserably. If he has any concern for the lives of the remaining 6000 innocents young Tamil youth, he should shoot himself and stop this madness.

Unfortunately, not only is he a psychopath, but he does not have the guts to commit suicide. Even Hitler, the other human monster committed suicide. This monster has no guts. The only hope is that someone else will kill him and release the remaining Tamil youth from captivity.

Tamils should think back to the happy life they led back in 1979 until this madman started this impossible carnage. What a shame.

My sister taken by LTTE and we not heard her for a year. We esacped, appa took us in the jungle to the army camp. we are now with relations in colombo.
Why cant Prabhakaran see that he cant never win his Ilam? It is too late now, it not happen. The only way is for a Tamil who is near him to kill him, maybe a sucide bomb. Otherwise the army will keep fighting and everyone will be killed.
I want my sister to come back.
