Extermination of the Tamils

Ski Lanka has the potential to be a stunning tourist destination...apart from the pools of blood and baby body parts.
The Sinhalese majority's use of fighter bombers, attack helicopters, modern warships, satellite imagery and technology, and of course...the support of interfering outside countries appears to be tipping the scales towards the destruction of the minority Tamil population. Tamil small arms and mortars are no match, and there is a limit to the effectiveness of suicide bombers.

It is hard to gauge the exact toll of dead, injured and displaced on both sides. Propaganda is an important weapon of war (just look at western media coverage of recent the Gaza massacre), and unfortunately it is played by both sides.

But as witnessed recently in Afghanistan and Iraq, give the boys bigger and smarter weapons and it is the civilians that will be blown to bits, as well as their houses, farms, infrastructure and livelihoods.

It is time for the international community to stop this madness. Even if Colombo completes it's ethnic cleansing, there is a massive Tamil diaspora ready to return armed and dangerous. It is time for a massive and lasting agreement between the Sinhalese, Tamils and the Buddhists. Weapon embargoes, disarmament, 'truth and reconciliation', in tandam with investment in education and health will heal the wounds.

For Colombo, losing land can be offset if they destroy the descrimination and hatred they have towards the Tamils. For the Tamils, becoming educated and assimilating will bridge the gap. Ski Lanka is a multicultural nation and its inhabitants have to live with that.
And the Buddhist have to stop interferring....
