Tamil Tigers
    #7586851 - 11/02/07 08:10 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Too much nastiness going on lately. Let's start a diff topic... Iran and Communism is driving me nuts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_tigers

My question is (and admit I'm indifferent to this topic, I don't know that much about the Tigers):

When you have a seperatist group that's trying to liberate part of their "mother" country for their own cause (IRA/Chech/PLO/etc included) and part of the way they rise to power is by executing hundreds of other competitors, how can you possibly justify your righteousness when you'd shown the same lack of mercy that you're trying to convince the world you're rebelling against).

If your group can't even keep from civil strife during the rebellion, is your cause really THAT noble? Can you really UNIFY a country under what is "right" or are certain groups really just doing it for power instead of a cause?

I don't think the Tamil Tigers have been so closely associated with Religion. I think PLO has managed to get so much reputation (a friggin nobel prize for Arafat?) because they managed to rally a Religious cause behind them selves... and I guess you don't get as much political backfire if those who you rebell against (Israel in this case) all get drafted into the military so you can try to argue that what you're doing isn't "terrorism" when everyone can possibly be a soldier. Even when disenting ranks amonst Palestinians spat and shoot each other they STILL do it in the name of religion so they can get away with it.

But look at the PLO now. They've been discredited a bit because of their disarray and splitting up into all these political groups.

It goes to show, at least I think, that any liberating cause incluiding communism, nationalism, ethnic, religious reasons... will never be any better than the gov't they're overthrowing, at least eventually they'll end up like this. I think because it's like growing up. You always think you're right as a right until you get into your 20's and realize that your parents were right about most things. You just do what you have to do to survive.

I guess it doesn't really matter who carries the stick or who has the conch. When the time comes to gain control of a population has 7 digits.. everyone has to grow up and comprimise their values.

So why bother? Is the killing really worth it to rebell against a gov't that kills?

Any thoughts? I'm not going to argue anyone here. I just want to see what people think. Enlighten me.

Tamils are fighting for a seperatist state in Sri Lanka, On the eastern side of Batticoala, they so far have lost all their regained territory in the 80's and 90's war, but it seems now the GOSL is on the tail of LTTE, they seized a good eastern portion of occupied Tamil territory...

This war has reached incredible depths of brutality, and the Tamils fighting by the Maoist doctrine of Assymetrical warfare is obsolete compared to the well funded and armed GOSL forces...

On top of this, other Tamil parties are splitting from the LTTE to get peace, or itleast broker a remend the norwegian deal for peace. If not this war could perhaps continue for a remarkable span of time.

Keep in mind that India is home to millions of ethnic tamil's, and it was the Black Tiger cadre that assassinated Rahiv Ghandhi with 5 pound belt full of RDX.
