A Gamble is a Gamble
Winning or losing is an afterthought
28 December 2006
"A gamble is a gamble..." PRESIDENT RAJAPAKSE thrives on
this phylosophy, while we Tamils are governed by the hardened reality that -
until God chooses to reveal the future to mankind - all our wisdom is based on
two words, wait and hope.
Beyond this moment is the rest of time, during which we are committed to prevent
the Sinhalese from boring into our rights and lands like weavils in a biscuit.
We cannot and will not forget the fact that they are like a giant cobra wrapped
around the island.
The grant of Independence to the Sinhalese by the British turned into an
attitude of insular arrogance. They developed the belief that they are the
bosses and we are their subordinates.. They assume this falacious idea that -
like the Pope - they are infallible and divine, when in fact they are a bunch of
virgins in the political wilderness. Like the mafia, they believe they have a
right to fill the power vacuum everywhere. They deliberately avoid the
realization that the suspicious are ungovernable.. They remain continually
ignorant of the fact that they have taken away any spark of faith we Tamils
could have had in them..
The Sinhalese have delberately muddied the historical waters to justify their
irrationality.and stick to this nonsense like granite. They are a perfect
example of a people riddled with contradictions, claiming with one voice that
they are an ideal democracy, while delighting in engaging in discrimination to
maintain their political superiority.
In short, their attitude toward us is nuclear. They are convinced that Buddhism
is in every pot and pan. They are convinced that they have opened up new
apostolic horizons. They will never cease to grasp at whisks of smoke to justify
their dreary determination that they are just and justified in whatever they do.
Their right to rule us is in tatters. We have to put an end to it.
