Unitary const is what the Tamils want changed to federal; an Indian model where a merged N&East, the historical habitat of the Tamils as recognised by the JR pact with India, are governed by its own people within a UNITED SLanka. All that the Tamils r asking is greater devolved power that include Police & Land. Why grudge this? If the Tamils dont feel 2nd class as they do now, together we can build a prosperous country. But what is on now - a family govt with 40 odd of their relations enjoying perks in Corporations & Govt Depts.
The editor is harping on the defunct LTTE. The govt is trying to stay in power that the LTTE will reemerge anytime. Sure it wil if the Govt continues with its genocidal path. Meanwhile SL continues to be branded a failed state.

Countries like the UK and USA should study the Geography, and Demography of countries like Sri Lanka, before they interfere in their internal affairs.
Sri Lanka is, and has been for many years a multi-ethnic Society. It has a majority of Sinhala Speaking citizens and a minority of Tamil speakers. One has only to look at the geography of neighbouring countries, to see that across a very narrow Strait there is an overhelmingly large population of Tamil Speaking people, in Tamilnadu in powerful South India. Whereas Sinhala speakers are only found in Sri Lanka. By encouraging the division of our small country, the Western Powers are guilty of encouraging the genocide of a small pocket of Sinhala speakers, native to Sri Lanka. We enjoin the Western Powers to study the Ground situation in Sri Lanka see how amicably all races live together in the Southern parts of the Island, and save a 'threatened species' the Sinhalese, from sure Extinction.

If the Tamils want a separate country, then let them all move to south India. End of story. Either stay in a United Sri Lanka or LEAVE.

Sampanthan is bankrupt in thinking that if he pushes the land and police powers idea they can live happily thereafter. this guy needs to retire before he makes a bigger problem than what it is now.
