Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nash_Node" data-source="post: 2161888" data-attributes="member: 91200">A question I was pondering over the whole of last week.I am reading "Nelson Mandela - <a href="http://archives.obs-us.com/obs/english/books/Mandela/Mandela.html" target="_blank">Long walk to freedom</a>" these days and a statement which he made in this book took me by surprise yet ironically a situation  which we face on a daily basis  yet ignorant. In his book, under the chapter "<a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,870031,00.html" target="_blank">Black Pimpernel</a>" he was describing the Armed struggle(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umkhonto_we_Sizwe" target="_blank">Umkhonto we Sizwe</a> (MK) ) which was to be launched under his command through the <a href="http://www.anc.org.za/" target="_blank">ANC</a>. At one point, he extend his views on Guerrilla warfare ;  "A guerrilla warfare is acted on the sole point of an armed force 'in hiding" act on an agenda to Hinder the Suppressors Financial and Economical aspects of well-being and to win our demands."On that point, I pondered a great deal during the weekend... How does this statement is TRUE to Sri Lanka and ARE we looking at the correct picture of thing all along during this 2.5 decades ?LTTE is a guerrilla war machinery and at most Ruthless the world  has ever witnessed.  Yet, here we are in SL, fighting them on an open platform to rid them off the face of this country. In part of Economical and Social hinderence, LTTE has been over exceedingly triumphant. They have dragged as back in the development and made damn sure that we are at all time Financially "DEAD"In such part .. hasn't the LTTE already "won" their perspective target ? <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/confused.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" data-shortname=":confused:" /> and are we FIGHTING THE WRONG WAR ?<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/confused.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" data-shortname=":confused:" />Going back to history, we can take example from,1 Somalia Vs. French (where Somalia was a guerrilla force)2 SA Africaners Vs Imperial British (where the Africaners were the guerrilla force)3 Lenin Vs Imperial Saar (where Lenin was the communist Guerrilla )4 Che Guera and Fidel Casthro Vs Cuban Batista (sounds like a WWE tag team match <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> )5 Africaners Vs MK (as above, spear headed by Nelson Mandela)6 Osama vs USA - We all know thatand of same7 LTTE Vs SL ???as you may see, THEY all fought a loosing battle on an open platform with Guerrilla's and failed miserably. 1. French were massacred by the Zulu Warriors 2. British had to give Africaners a self ruling government body (note that Africaners mean present day "WHITE" South Africans - not the Blacks)3. Lenin overthrew Saar and killed them all in a rampage4. Fidel Casthro became the ruler of Cuba5. Africaners gave the Black's equal rights6. USA is shitting over this <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />7  ?????On taking these examples I am sure some of these 15K active people are deep in thought and rich in sense enough to "think what I am thinking"because I do not have a definite question to put through at the end, but a vague excuse of such in form ofAre we fighting the right war , right time in the right way ?Hopefully, this thread won't get abandoned <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />Ps. Please read the book i mentioned above if you have time <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" />, it's an autobiography of an astounding leader who sacrificed his entire life for the freedom of his people and a story of the triumph of dignity and hope over despair and hatred, of self-discipline and love  over persecution and evil.  Long Walk to Freedom embodies that spirit in a book for  all time.</blockquote>
