Bauer Paedophile may come, Bauer Paedophile may go ...

- Norwegian Peace Envoy Jon Hannsen Bauer is here again to kick-start
the stalled peace talks. He is expected to have talks with the
government and the LTTE. Before Mr. Bauer, Mr. Solheim had been
shuttling between Oslo and Colombo in an attempt to revive, if not
resurrect, the talks but in vain. It is strange why those who are
trying so frantically to revive the peace process haven't reflected
on why their attempts have come a cropper. It is high time they came to
terms with the fact that the peace process is no more. It died the day
the LTTE walked away from talks a few years ago under the UNF
government. The LTTE kept on driving nails into its coffin, the last
being the capture of the Mawilaru anicut. What we have today is only a
mummified peace process. Nothing is going to bring it back to life. The
cause of its untimely death was the flawed CFA, which turned out to be
nothing more than a license for the LTTE to continue its terror project
through a low intensity war with the government kept under pressure not
to retaliate. Had it stopped short of capturing the Mawilaru sluice
gates, the government would have been taking all atrocities lying down.
It is at Mawilaru that the Tigers cooked their goose, well and truly
