This war due to and other heroes dirct act on personal lives will take off to a higher dimension.The killing of Thamilchelvan has not killed nor aquashed the cry of the entire Tamil speaking people there will be more children joining the freedom fighters and more committment in the hearts of Tamils globally and in Sri Lanka.

This also clearly shows that GOSL is not willing to go to the negotiating table.The Tamils will bow their heads to a man who spent many years fighting for the rights of the Tamils.
May his soul rest in Peace.

This act for a contininuation of killings and war will now be tasken to a higher dimension.
This is clear that the GOSL does not want Peace but will continue to harrass and torture the Tamils.
The will not end but this act will make more committtments and the will by Tamils to fight this war to attain Peace to live in their homeland.

While mourning for the loss of these barve Tamil men and women we know that this war has now taken off to a higher dimension of will and committment.
Wa r for Freedom from the oppressors never ends,it continue still a peacefull agreement is reached.
In the past the deaths of many Tamil heroes did not bring this war to an end.It only made it more committed to find peace.
Killing Bridaier Thamilchelvan has not killed the visiion and mission of all Tamils to seek espect and dignity to live peacefully in their homeland.
While all Tamils aspire to find this Peace we as Tamils pay homage once again to Thmilchelvan and to the other heroes who died while in sleep.

What is so clever, victorious or heroic about attacking a political office/residence?
What if the LTTE attacks the GOSL parliament? Same kind of thing.
So now there is even less chance of peace and more bloodshed on the way.

Karuna said:

Gnanaratnam, I feel sorry about you. All political leaders kill their opponants when they find someone is opposing them. Thamilchelvan's death is a result of such a killing of our LTTE leader. He planted a bomb to kill him in the name of SLAF. Even a schoolboy can understand that except you.

A very sad news, all my respect to this man who spent his life between Eelam and European Peace Negotiation Tours !!!!!!!

Tamils unite yourself to the same cause ! Nobody want to be slaves of Sinhalas in Sri Lanka. We need a country for Tamils and Muslims.

I have seen enough of this statement from the LTTE suporters who want to seperate the country somehow at the end Can any of you guys tell, how the govenment should act to bring these terrorists to the negotiation Tables or talk about peace. Even if a beautiful flower bloomed in somewhere in the country they say " Oh now it is not possible to have any peace without the seperation". We have had enough of that stupid statement which clearly showed what these terrorists wanted for the last 25 years... Have they ever kept the idea of breaking the crountry in to two..???

Sure, this is not the only way to end the issues with the tamil people, but, LTTE doesn't have any thing else in their mind except breaking the country in to pieces which will never happen ever. It is clear to anyone whats the governments commitment to bring the lives back for the civilians liberated in the east. NIts not about the suffering Innocent civilians, Its all about the group of these LTTE suporters who are after a cheap war to achive thier targets. How many of those cardres are fighting for them willingly..? So they will talk about torturing better. LTTE has been torturing the whole population living under thier control. As a responsible govenment, It has all the rights to protect every citizen. anyone can't control a single inch in the land against the gonevrenment's law. Only terrorists can and should be fought against. I am not personally sad about Tamilselvans death as he and his fellows had put thousands of Tamils in risk and was killed. I am really sad about them...

So, he is gone! Reminder of how life has become so cheap in our country! Ironically it the cheapest thing in this country thanks to the warring factions. All this has been predicted centuries ago and we have yet to witness the worst. In a war 'it does not matter who is right, but who is left!'! Think of how many potential Thamilselvans or equavalents thereof have been dessimated by this egocentric war! A vee bit of 'give and take' with some foresight from the leaders of the majority would have saved a lot of remorse for both communities. The "CURSE" is, that was not to be! As a result of this, even children yet to be borne have to bear the brunt of this. The emerging pattern of elation by the factions concerned by a successful strike or two is very very unhealthy. This is what the thinktank of both factions fail to realize, which means none of the factions has even a slight feeling for the motherland - very saddening from a peace lover's point of view. Hinduism and Budhdhism advocate tolerance, forgiveness, right to live etc. etc. But the minds of the leaders of Budhdhism is wired to the Anuradhapura era while living in the 21st century, whereas the Tamil psyche is taken away from the religious frontier towards an aggressed stand. It does not help the President to seek a middle path to have JHU and JVP in his fold because of the political implications - to be in 'POWER'. Why not the President jettison all these destructive elements and trust his nose to find the correct source of the problem (which is very obvious) and seek a rightful place in history as a man who brought peace, amity and prosperity to Sri Lanka no matter what happens to the parliamentary majority?

This latest attack has clearly shown to the World that not only the Tamil Tigers were involved in killing political opponents but the Sri Lankan government as well.

I do condemn this brutal uncivilised attack on a residential or political demarcated area and urge the SLMM to investigate and publish a report on it
.
However this attack does not wipe out the legitimate political aspirations of the Tamil people. I do think this will only speed up the offensives planned by the security forces of the Tamil homeland to restart their mission to capture major territory in the North and some parts of the East which will lay the foundation for a separate state to be declared between 2008 en 2010

The Tamils have waited too long so did the Kurds, Taiwanese and Tibetans. I do challenge all those who say we should wait to declare an independent state as the Tamils do hold the de jure status over the North and East of the Indian ocean Island.

I think Tamils (Muslims, Catholics and Hindus) should join together and help to establish this independent Tamil Eelam to become a reality, so did Somaliland even as it is still not recognised.

You should always keep your dignity and never wait for others to recognise you because you have in fact the de jure status on the disputed area. Do never forget that the Tamils have a royal history which is the most important evidence that they can declare independence whether the Singhalese like this or not.

Once independence is achieved we can work towards development and democracy to ensure our future generation is free of discrimination and oppression. Even if we are not recognised we can become a prosperous country so did Taiwan.

Do not be afraid of the political establishment in Delhi. They will not be in the position to wage another war in its backyard. They will only provide some useless technologies to fight the Tamils which the Singhalese are unable to use in their campaign of war on the Tamils.

May Mr. S.P Thamilchelvan rest in peace and bring his death innovative opportunities to bring Tamil Eelam on the world map.

First of all this guy is a terrorist, not a political leader.
Next, any word on the other high ranking tiger that was killed in the raid? Some one else was taken to the hospital with heavy escort. Rumors are that this other guy is ranked higher then SPT.

"Death never destroys great men who lived to uphold truthful goals ." - Thamichelvan is the Man.

You Sinhalese,
Now the war is not between Sinhalese and Tamil, it is between Rajapaksha family and Tamils. I can't wait to kill those brothers. It is so clear that Rajapaksha does not like PEACE... That is why he killed the Man who negotiate peace.

Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams!
We have the power Within us to convert the dream to a reality!!
Just do it........

Till there are people like Fernando, no one in Sri Lanka will get peace.

Rajapaksha family, count your days. Death never stop Tigers. We have seen enough and we are strong enough!!!

Here is the crux of the matter that karuna has failed to grasp.
You cannot bring terrorists to the negotiating table.The Tamils did not think of themselves as Terrorist when they went to the N.Table.They as neglected opressed minority citizens of Sri Lanka went to the Table to negotiate only to be dissapointed.
We pay homage to a great person and his friends who died standong up for the rights of the Tamils.This will go on despite these killings.

Fernando,take a break and consider this.
Is your country a Budhist country?Are you a budhist.?
Does it teach you to kill.?

Looks like you are heading to Angoda.
