Do you think that holding peace talks is necessary when the LTTE is getting cornered?          A: Yes, only if they lay down arms and come for peace talks after totally stopping terror activities. In such an environment, the President's willingness to negotiate with the LTTE is absolutely a correct decision.          Q: If the LTTE accept the condition to commence          peace talks will the military be confined to the barracks?          A: That will never happen. They can continue with the Talks but we will clear the North. The President had never said that forward march of the Army to liberate the North will have to stop. Our troops will carry on.          Q: We can achieve military victories against LTTE terrorism. But do you agree that the national problem can be solved only through political means?          A: Yes, I think the whole country needs some political changes to solve certain problems. So these political solutions have to come not only for Tamils but for all the communities.  Some Tamil political, especially the couple of TNA MPs who say some thing here and utter differently when in the LTTE controlled areas may have some serious political problems which no one can address as their aspirations are totally different.          In those war torn areas the people are facing          tremendous hardships. The damage due to war is huge and they do not have better infrastructure like roads and bridges like in other areas. People are uneducated and children are suffering from malnutrition. These problems cannot be solved by making R. Sampanthan or somebody else the Prime Minister of the so-called Eelam. These people need solution for these problems.         Courtesy : Sunday Observer</blockquote>
