A govt has to fight like terrorists to win a terrorist war. eg you can't kill children but LTTE uses child soldiers.You can't kill civilians but LTTE doesn't wear uniforms.the only sensible thing to do then is fnish a war as quick as possible and that results in civilian casualties.no government accuses its victorious soldiers of "war crimes"There are ways to take care of people if they inflict unneeded casualties on civilians and military takes care of that The other question is proven he commited it,This process normally has taken the lifetime of the accused. where he lives it in exile in a different country. So my answer is ideally in a world everybody practices this and sends their generals to courts and punish every wrongdoing regardless of position or status. yesIn a  practical world, In this current world NOThe other angle is that all the LTTE ers who are angry for losing the war want to see our officers get punishments We shouldn't sacrifice our officers for them achieve their aims.This most probably is gotabhaya's reason (You seem to fall something similar to this category . You frustrated over losing the election want to see somebody near MR get punished any way possible and you don't care who else gets harmed)The problem with you and SF is that you don't know to contain your domestic problems.gewal athule amma thathath ekka bana gaththa kiayalla rata wate egollonge waradi kiya kiya awidinne nane. eka charter eka thami umbata oya karanna ona wela thiyenne</blockquote>
