    Its true that the Tigers have done some terrible and stupid things. its true that the Tigers are an impediment to Tamil freedom. But many of the things written about the Tigers are also true of the SL government. Are the Singhala people willing to examine their own armed force’s actions with objective vision and not just buy the carefully scripted news that the state media presents?

    There were over 30 years of discrimination against Tamil before the Tigers even existed. Where were the LTTE when the 1961 Satiagrahi was crushed by mobs? It is not simply a one sided story of the LTTE victimisation of others. Tamils are angry because of the way they have been systematically disenfranchised from their rights to exist as equal citizens of sri lanka. This is the root of the problem and needs to be addressed.

    As a Tamil I apologise for the mis-directed work of the LTTE and all the hurt and pain they have caused!

    But are the Sinhalese people willing to come to the north and examine the suffering the SL armed forces have inflicted on the Tamil people? More to the point will the government let you? Recently 37 Sri lankan MP’s were denied access to the safe zone. Why? If the government are above disrepute - why won’t they let observers in to see for themselves? What have they got to hide?

    As much as many Tamils dislike the LTTE, they are more afraid of the SLA and in truth they have good reason to be. This terrible war has taken our most capable young people and turned them into killers. That in itself is a tragedy that we must mourn together!

    I won’t explain more. We Tamils need to be ready to see the damage Tamil militants have done to Singhalese families and communities, and ask for your forgiveness. It would refreshing if you were to do the same.

    Then just maybe we can move on as a country and leave this dark chapter of our history behind, at last.

    The actions of Velupillai Pirabaharan, the leader of Tamil Tigers prove he is real tiger. The only business he knows is killing. He killed Kalvian Kaadu Chetty, the person who named the group 'Tigers' and the original leader of the Tiger group

    Then Pirabaharan tried to kill the next leader of Tigers, Uma Maheswaran in a shoot out in India . He killed the founding members of the Tigers, Michael and Pat Kunam. Pirabaharan himself tipped off the Police about the then leaders of Tigers, Kuttimani and Thangathurai and their whereabouts. This incident led to Kuttimani and Thangathurai’s incarceration until their terrible deaths in the Welikade jail.

    Pirabaharan killed all the persons he worked with before he became the leader of the Tigers. He even killed the last surviving Tiger group founding member Sabalingam who was residing in France , because Sabalingam started writing about Pirabaharan’s power hungry killings

    After Pirabaharan became the leader of the Tigers, he started killing all Tamil political leaders, elected mayors, university professors and many innocent Tamils who had criticized Tigers. Pirabaharan banned all Tamil political organizations for the last twenty years and finally the international community including USA, Canada, European Union, India and Australia has banned the Tigers, mainly due to Tigers’ continuous use of child soldiers and their terror activities.

    Pirabaharan also killed hundreds of people who were members and supporters of Tamil political organizations. Pirabaharan killed the Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. He even killed the Sri Lankan President Premadasa who had provided helicopter loads of weapons and money to Tigers.

    Pirabaharan clearly knows that under any circumstances except at gunpoint, majority of Tamils won’t accept his leadership. That’s why he killed all other Tamil Political leaders, to become as the so-called 'Sole Leader of Tamils'.

    Ramachandran a.k.a MGR, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu gave Pirabaharan more than 1.25 billion rupees in 1985. Tamils provided their support to Tigers at gunpoint only and never helped Tigers to grow to this extent. Without MGR massive financial support and Premadasa’s supply of weapons and money, Tigers won’t exist today.

    Tigers are terror loving trigger-happy killers, created by MGR and Premadasa. Tigers’ killings are severely affecting the future of Tamils since the killings created a huge political vacuum.
    In 1990 Pirabaharan wanted 100,000 Muslims in the North of Sri Lanka to get out within 24 hours, leaving their belongings and treasured valuables - that was a text book example of ‘ethnic cleansing’. Prabhakaran made Idi Amin look like an angel as Idi Amin had a heart to give the Asians in Uganda three months to leave the country and not 24 hours.

    Most of the young people who are younger than 35 years, do not know the history of Tigers. They believe that, Tigers became so powerful, because of continuous outpouring support from majority of the Tamils,

    If Tamils like Tigers, why is Greater Colombo flooded with Tamils from Tiger controlled areas? If majority of Tamils like Tigers, Tiger controlled areas should be flooded with Tamils from other areas. Why are Tamils trying to escape Tiger controlled areas, rather than migrating to Tiger controlled area?

    If Tigers lift the exit pass system and allow free movement in the Tiger controlled areas, except the people on Tigers’ payroll, every body else will leave Tiger controlled area. The only supporters of Tigers are that they either do not know anything about Tigers or gain benefits from Tigers.

    Why are none of the Tamil business people investing in Tiger controlled areas? Why are even farmers leaving Tiger controlled areas? Why are Tamils living abroad trying to help their relatives to leave Tiger controlled areas? In Tiger controlled areas nobody can express any political opinions or different ideas.

    Only things allowed to say are those that support Tigers. No way can anyone criticize Tigers and live the next day in a Tiger controlled area. Tigers that do not care about human lives will never understand even the basics of human rights. Even the hardcore Tiger supporters are not willing to relocate to Tiger controlled areas.

    Majority of the Tamil refugees, who claimed asylum in western countries, told the authorities that they were running away from Tigers. If majority of Tamils who live abroad support Tigers, why do they have to be threatened to collect money for Tigers as reported by the Human Rights Watch?

    If majority of the Tamils who live abroad support Tigers, those Tamils would line up in front of the Tiger branch offices to drop off money. The major serious problem Tamils are facing right now is there are hundreds of very young terror loving trigger happy Tigers who know only one thing, which is killing another human. Last thirty years, Tigers killed more Tamils than any body else. Also more Tigers were killed by Pirabaharan than any body else.

    Majority of Sri Lankan Tamils are patiently hoping, praying and waiting for a new young democratic political visionary as a leader. Until then, gunpoint Tiger culture and never ending killing spree by Tigers will grow and continue.

    The Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka invented the modern suicide bomber and deployed it against political, military and civilian targets. Now Islamic groups including Al-Qaeda copy the Tamil Tigers with suicide attacks.

    The Tamil Tigers attacked shipping off the coast of Sri Lanka blowing ships or piracy. Then USS Cole off Yemen was attacked and piracy off the coast of Somalia - a strong hold for Al-Qaeda followers.

    Tamil Tigers attacked the World Trade Centre in Sri Lanka then Al-Qaeda attacked on the World Trade Centre in New York, USA.

    Tamil Tigers have a women’s section deployed into their ranks. Then Al-Qaeda and Chechen terrorist’s who took over the Russian theatre used black widow women suicide bombers.

    Tamil Tigers attacked on civilians in bus and trains in Sri Lanka where innocent passengers were killed, then Al-Qaeda in England bombed public transit in the 7/7 attack’s on London Transport.

    How long the world will tolerate the Masters and the Followers of terrorism?
