The nearly 3 decade conflict in Sri Lanka appears to have come to an end. There has been huge hue and cry by hypocritical Western governments namely the US and UK (it is ok for them to violate human rights in the name of fighting terror!) but not other governments.
The LTTE is a terrorist organization as per the EU and US State Dept list of terrorists so then why are the Sri Lankans being condemened?!!
Hasn't the US committed war crimes by being the cause of the millions of Iraqi deaths and now slowly increasing Afghan casualties. Aren't civilian deaths just "collateral damage" in the fight against terror? What about Israel's recent War against Gaza? Not a whiff of protest from Western governments about War Crimes, maybe only from the EU.
Read my earlier post re. Western countries have no moral authority to protest about human rights violations. It is a case of pot calling the kettle black!
Sep 11 has been a god-send for governments and especially totalitarian regimes.
