1.When one is well-off enough not to be affected by discriminatory governments, we cannot say if that person is really nationalistic or not. What about the poor among the discriminated?
2.Gosh, nothing about the rulers and the voters who determine the hell the ‘other’ are forced to live in.
If the Rajapakses know the virtues of good governance, no UN reports/resolutions, no Channel4 videos, no Diaspora, ……
By the way, is Kadirgamar’s case over? where is the report?
LTTE were given arms to fight the IPKF
LTTE were given money to stop Tamils voting in 2004 Presidential Elections.
LTTE were given money to kill Kadirgamar.

These will churn the society and help us move forward.
One thing I completely agree with you is , if Kadirgamar was alive , he would have done much better to cover up the regime in the issues like channel 4 videos and UN panel report.Your statement clearly answers the following
1) Who you are?
2) Who Kadirgamar was?
3) Why he was killed?
1) Who you are?
2) Who Kadirgamar was?
3) Why he was killed?

Given the shrillness of the nature of public debate in recent times, especially postwar, most Sri Lankans I know have avoided getting involved in them. The latter have resorted to ‘quiet discussion’ with fellow citizens who are not uncomfortable with points of view that are not in harmony with their own and who indeed are looking for such carefully articulated alternatives. The late Lakshman Kadirgamar was one such Sri Lankan with whom I could trade ideas and opinions with utmost ease even when they did not necessarily mesh with his own. He had the emotional intelligence and the humility of the truly educated human being to be open to such give and take at all times. In an exchange similar to the ones I used to have with the late foreign minister that I now have with a few very close friends, we happened to discuss, among other issues, what Lakshman Kadirgamar would have done to extricate Sri Lankafrom the unfortunate predicament it is in had he yet been with us today. I thought it might be useful to reflect and expand on this particular theme as a tribute to the man whose seventh death anniversary falls on Friday the 12th of August.Read More
