You should never negotiate with terrorists.

From the link:

Ideologically bound to the revolutionary theory and practice of Marxism and Leninism, our movement firmly believes that its commitment to armed struggle is not an alternative to mass movement.

Unless you are tricking them into a more vulnerable position...like attaching a tow line to their boat.

What did you say here that contradicts what I said? They are communists the same way al qaeda are capitalists!!! Socialism is unimportant to the goals of the movement. One line on their website does not change the fact that marxism is not an important part of their platform, so whether they are socialists or not really is irrelevant to the actions they are taking.

There is no true opposition between liberty as such and control as such, for every liberty rests on a corresponding act of control. The true opposition is between the control that cramps the personal life and the spiritual order, and the control that is aimed at securing the external and material conditions of their free and unimpeded development..

Sorry, I'm going to have to take THEIR WORD for what their "platform" is, and Lenin and Marx are the ONLY NAMES MENTIONED in ANY PROMINENCE.
Communists murder with abandon everywhere they have had an iota of power,throughout their bloodstained history.
The Tamils are no exception.

Point to me the part where I denied they used socialism as a means to their ends. I didn't. I said it is irrelevant whether they are socialists or not. Just like it is irrelevant that many other terrorist groups are not socialists.

Maybe if you put it in quotes as per forum rules, I wouldn't have read it as an angry statement by yourself. You have to admit, every one of your posts has bold and caps and a bunch of junk. It gives me a headache.

Do you care to reference something earlier than 83, and perhaps not from a site based in Virginia (that would just be a bonus though).

Considering I see this mentioned nowhere else, I'm sticking to the belief that this is just a random dude, or an outdated political reality.

Sorry, I was on the phone for forever.

Do I believe they are bad people? I believe all war and violence is bad

Do I believe they are an oppressed minority that deserves a homeland in spite of this? Yes

Blah,blah,blah. Just admit you were wrong,and avoid further embarassment,such as trying to pretend that the quote I clearly cited as such was "the problem".
Have some pride,Sir.
