but Govt brags that war victory is accepted without any differences...
You agree with part of what I say... and I say poor and lower middle class SLFP members also not interested in war any more...
Many were but a lot dropped after the fuel prce arrogance of the Govt. When the same arrogance the admired against LTTE received a disgusted response whe that admiration backfired on them. They clearly understood tha Govt is too proud with the trust they placed on them. They were just dissapointed.
Once you lose trust you have to face the doubts mount of every action...
Then Sirasa and Lasantha cases proved that they are right.
That's why Lincoln says that 'Once you forfeit the trust you can NEVER regain..."
I dont agree with any part of yours..
You say Govt. cannot be trusted now.. I say not a single govt. can be trusted 100% but this is the ONE AND ONLY Govt. at least seem to be doing one thing that it said it would do.. and people are seeing progress infront their own eyes... 1000's of Army Soldiers are at the fore front of the WAR you can lie to me... but you cannot lie to them they know what's happening!
Grant a wish for every Sri Lankan and I'm sure at least 8 out of 10 would say they want to see an end to the WAR..
take my challenge put a thread for that lets see which option scores high!!
We dont know who attacked Sirasa or Lasantha... you blind bashing here trying to put them all on the govt's account, well maybe govt. did it... maybe UNP did it.. maybe Sirasa haters did it... maybe CIA did it

So you can turn it to anyway you want to, whichever way it makes you happy.. I have no objection.. oyage sathutane!!

My point is majority is people is not with Govt.. And the truth is 99% of people (even Tamils) in south were not much trouble because of terrorism. Only an occassional bomb and the the barriers were the problems.. But most were in fear... That fear was converted into hatred and used to gain power. But any emotion has its own life... Unless it converted into another emotion it will be gone...
Your point proved to be wrong long time back when people them selves kept people who are incapable of running the country at bay and elected this govt... And lets wait and see in the next election whom would people vote.. then we can continue this discussion of yours whether it is right or wrong! If you are right then good for you.. if wrong then maybe you will have to realize that against the odds on your perspective people have actually approved what the govt. is doing!
But for now this is what people chose... so live with it!
If you say Govt. changed people mindset to vote for them.. then this Govt. must be having a lot of convincing power.. which also means govt. knows how to convince people.. because if you want to convince someone then you must talk about what they care... so Mr. Athula it proves they Govt. and people CARE ABOUT THE WAR!!! Which is not what you were saying I remember!

Actually Govt did well till Poonarin victory... then they lost timing and jeopadized the momentum they successfully gained over 3 years of propaganda.... Then they made the greatest mistake at the worst time... The arrogance against law showing the hidden wolf under the sheep skin... People got scared...
They played the best trumph card -Kilinochchi... and failed.
Now they got Mulativ city and some celebrate it as Muativ district...
If you say Poonaryn is a victory so does Kilinochchi and Mulativ

So your logic is very sick here
Again this is a phobia people like you have... I can't do anything about it... as far as I know none in my community my friends, my family or anyone have gotten so called *scared* of govt.

I feel that you also understand all this... But you have played in tune with the Govt... You can't change it now...
I don't play with anyone's tune... I am just witnessing... I am not ashamed if my assumptions are wrong.. I will see why they go wrong and go on with what I see. But I know that I will not make the mistake of bringing a wrong govt into power... Yes, I am sure of it.
Because I will not vote for any party. I have seen enough of politicians.
If I can sell it I might do that for
anyone who pays highest.
WRONG!! Since the day I was born I only had 1 tune in my head... GETTING RID OF LTTE.. I saw govts. come govts. go from JR to Chandrika all were the same...
finally came a govt. that played my tune.. (at least up to now
) and I fully support for them for the sake of my country, family and my future children!!
And Mr. Athula please remember that you and me gonna stay in this forum for a very very long time unless I die before you

so whatever you say will be valid for whoever comes into power next too!
