Sri Lankan President threatens to ban LTTE
2007-12-18
(KUNA) -- Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa Monday asserted that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) will be banned if it launches terror attacks in future. "If one or two more incidents like the one that took place on November 28 happen in future, the government will have no option. We will have to ban the LTTE," Rajapaksa told foreign journalists at a Christmas party at his Colombo residence today, news agency Indo Asian News Service reported. The bomb attack on November 28 near Colombo killed at least 20 people. "There is a limit to government's patience and tolerance," Rajapaksa said. "There can be no peace in Sri Lanka until the LTTE is defeated militarily," the President stressed.
The Tigers have been trying to steal a part of Sri Lanka for years, killing bystanders innocent and otherwise with merry abandon. I think I'd be looking for a new president, myself -- one that would have banned them years ago, one that will ban them as his first official act. As his second official act he should hunt them down and kill them all.
