That quote pretty much sums up why the Tamil Tigers exist, and will continue to exist, so long as no equitable solution is reached in Sri Lanka. Hostilities are flaring up in Sri Lanka. The BBC is reporting on this story now, though over the past several month Tamil Net has had pretty much daily reports on grenade attacks, not-so-random shootings, and other such violence in the East and North of of Sri Lanka.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
