Decisive factor on winning or loosing fight against terrorism

26 May 2008

The Sri Lankan nation has to decide on if we are going to fully defeat and eradicate terrorism from this emerald island or are we going to mere control terrorism and enter into another round of bargaining with terrorists. Now we have no doubt at all that our heroic military forces are well within the reach of defeating LTTE terrorists in their own den in Wanni jungle.

Unfortunately we are a sort of miserable nation that has let the development and progress of individual into various myths including horoscope, auspicious time (nakataha, rahu kalaya). We have let ruling and manipulating the national policies into the hand of feeble politicos, so called international community, media and INGO mafia. Finally we have let protecting our motherland into the hand of military forces alone and behaving like bunch of dumbs in the south. We are always expecting others to do our own duties.

This is the very reason why we are still witnessing bomb blasting in public transport. Its only one September11 th incident in USA and single London bomb blasting occurred in UK and there were no subsequent attacks or blasts thereafter. It is not only due to immense willpower of respective nations to fight against terrorism and win their civil right of life but also taking practical steps and dedication to prevent possible attacks which made this possible.

But as a nation we are still behaving like a bunch of Polio patients even after dozens of bomb blasting in public transport vehicles. All of those blasting were due to parcel bombs placed in the racks of busses or trains. After each and every blast the government is shouting at the people requesting more vigilance and the commuters are asking the government to tighten the security. But it is very clear that it is not possible to fully prevent this type of attacks as long as total ban on keeping parcels on the rack of public transport vehicles is imposed. On the other hand a single person can not keep track of each and every bag and those unknown bags will create fear/terror on the individual. You may prevent few, but terrorists always have a chance to succeed.

The target of every attack is not only killing those individual victims, but to create fear-psychosis in the society and force them to another cycle of negotiation with terrorists. Therefore, it is very important that terrorists are not given a slightest of opportunity to carry out their coward attacks. The important point is to prevent terrorists from placing bombs and not later finding them and subsequently defusing.

It will only take another couple of months for our valiant soldiers to march into the den of terrorists in Killinocchi kill the remaining goons who have never been in the front of the battle field. If Sri Lankan nation is not crippled with Polio, they should be able to curb the small inconvenience for this short time period and refrain from keeping their bags and parcels in racks. On the other hand minister and other officials should act proactively and temporally impose ban on keeping parcels on the racks.

If the nation is not physically crippled and the government is not mentally crippled we can certainly win over this operation against terrorism. Only history will decide if Sri Lankan nation is physically and mentally capable of it.
