Decades of nasty conflict are about to come to a close, in a brutal finale. Neither side has covered itself in glory.
But why no threads about this here?
As I said before the left only like nasty terrorists the great evil the US kills, truely innocent people they have no time for.

The Lefties don't care because the people doing the killing aren't Israeli or American.
The Righties don't care because they know that s**t happens all over the planet, and they're only concerned about the parts which are relevant to them.
Short answer: No one cares about Sri Lanka.
You don't suppose that the reason "lefties" care about America killing because it is relevant to them? Or do "righties" have a monopoly on relevance?
I'm sure in their own minds they can justify it.
US/Israeli/West killing = Bad
Non-West killing = No probs.
I think that about sums them up.
Erm, as a leftie I'd say its more passive support of the regime and that people really don't have any grave feelings or concerns about this issue. For me it's the latter, I really can't find much fault with the Sri Lankan government. If you want independence, do it peacefully, don't take to arms and engage in violent warfare, especially as your actions have actually forced the government to persecute your people even more. Well done Tamils. Oh and any group which uses people as human shields is despicable IMO (yes Qsaint that includes Hamas).
I think that it sums up your level of intellectual nous - that about all it sums up though.
I must of missed the Australian Civil War.What a ridiculous notion. Independance is won with war. Peace is a nothing concept and peaceful independance is for naught but show.
If you want real freedom you have to be prepared to fight and kill for it. that is a fact.

I imagine the reason why there aren't any threads on this is because it JUST happened.
I read about it in the paper today, and come on here to find a thread posted yesterday asking why this isn't an issue.
DR, this is a bizarre thread.
They financed a war against themselves?Lankan Govt.
That's weird. You were the one who just asserted it.Also suggestions, never proven to my satisfaction, that Israelis at points trained the Tigers.
So...you've got nothing?

I could go on all night... When was the last time The Right championed human rights in anywhere other than the Muslim world? Instances are few and far between.
