He said it was a difficult choice sincd they had to rescue some 300,000 civilians from the brutal clutches of LTTE. And looking at some of the leaked videos which contained extrajudicial killings and sexual abuses, I think this is a normal situation after a such prolonged brutal war. It is the true nature of a war. I believe the first casuality of a war is humanity. This has happened in Vietnam, Iraq, Ethiyopia, Uganda, Chechniya, you name it. USA, UK and all these super powers have blood in their hands. What else do you expect from soldiers who were trained to kill adding the emotional and psychalogical trauma they underwent seeing their collegues get killed before their eyes? The goverment of Sri Lanka should realize the true nature of International politics and to act accordingly. It is no doubt Sri Lanka is no super power compared to west and therefore the probability of International pressure on implementing International Law in the country is definitely high. I am proud of the way Dr. Rajiv Wijesingha responded to the Al Jazeera concluding "Sri Lanka will Absolutely not allow an International inquiry". We need more people like him in this critical time. What i believe is the best thing the government of Sri Lanka should do is to have their own inquiry into this matter with transparency and bring the perpetrators before law. The differnce between Sri Lanka and other countries is all the other countries atleast conducted inside inquiries and punished those who were found guilty irrespective of their nationality (Except for the World War II). Frogs in the well may not know, but there are millions of Americans who protest against the US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, and everywhere it is the same scenario. If you use internet other than porn you will find them. One thing some people here in Sri Lanka (I see many in Elakiri who are self proclaimed Patriots) should realize is that there can be people who decide not to support either LTTE or Sri Lankan Government. You dont need to have a name board hanging round your neck to be a patriot or actually to support the government because simply the country and the government are two different entities.  Open for Discussion <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
