I am saddened by this happenings.. Again in war..I is always the innocent end up losing..

Both India and USA (under Pres Bush) have blood in their hands, providing advanced military aid and training to the Sri Lankan army.

Singapore along with the ASEAN Governments should apply preassure on the Government of Sri Lanka to immediately stop this brutal war against their own people and sight the example of Singapore's proven tract record of success based on meritocracy, multi-racial, multi-ethnic and multi-lingual harmony; which had overtaken Sri Lanka despite having suffered a set back of three and a half years of Japanese occupation as opposed to Sri Lanka being the HQ of Mountbatten's Southeast Asia command. The Internation Community jointly can impress upon the Majority Sinhalese public how much they had lost by this war. As a member of the UN; Singapore and its ASEAN partners should apply preassure on the UN to immediately intervene and stop the war. Much more could be done, the politicians should know better. Alternatively, we Singaporeans should turn out in large numbers at the Speakers' Corner to impress upon our Government that we as citizens of Singapore are concerned.

Ireland. That is why the IRA emerged. Both parties should come to a dialouge to resolve the ethnic conflict. What is UN doing I wonder ??
