We're certainly not going to win anything by touring the world, taking the blame for everything and apologizing to everyone like a nation of wimps. That's what we are becoming, by the way. Changing the names of everything out of fear that someone might take offense is nothing more than DoubleSpeak. Obama's message, by demonizing the "wealthy" in America, is that success is something to be ashamed of and that apathy should be rewarded by taking from the wealthy and giving to the poor. The Obama administration also seems to be ashamed of America's "wealth" and wants to apologize to the world. Whatever, guys.

There will NEVER, EVER be solutions to this problem until the masses understand that terrorist networks in Asia have been created, sponsored, trained, armed, protected by covert intelligence agencies with the full knowledge and support of US leaders and US CIA. This is established in numerous ways, but hard research is needed to piece the puzzle together. Top of the list: ISI, the Pakistani intelligence agency has been playing with fire at least since the late 1970s. The Islamic militant networks were championed with ISI personnel and US and Saudi money. The Saudis have long supported Taliban and Al Qaeda. This was perfectly acceptable to Washington who longed for a new international enemy to replace the collapsed "communist threat." It's like bashing one's head against the wall because so much ignorance and partial truth is printed in mainstream journals, and supposedly "alternative" journals regarding this BOGUS "war on terror." The "war on terror" was engineered with full US complicity to provide the "war that won't end in our lifetimes." Both major US parties are on board the farce. And the corpses continue to pile up. If one can never hold accountable the puppet masters in western intelligence who with treasonous intent support terrorism one can never even begin to solve the issue. It is as simple as that. Conspiracies exist, despite the mindless bleating of the dittoheaded press. Justice and accountability are the real myths. http://crimesofthestate.blogspot.com/ There is no “war on terror,” and this ridiculous phrase should never be used without quotation marks.

Until now for 30 years people from other parts of the island nation of Sri Lanka were not allowed to travel to the north, northeast or north west of the country. But the Tamils roamed around the country freely and had ghettos in Colombo and other parts of the island. The fault lies with the British colonial government of Ceylon, who propagated the divide and rule policy in the sub continent of India. They gave preferential treatment to the Tamils for their (British) own gain. The idea of a separate state is unthinkable because India would want to transfer some of the 60 odd million people in Tamil Nadu to the north of Sri Lanka. The land mass of the North, NE and NW is not sufficient to accommodate such a move. It will be a threat to the majority Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka and create genocide worse than the holocaust. A better solution is for the Tamils to migrate to Tamil Nadu because there is enough land there. Laksmansingh Sri Lanka must remain as a one nation, not divided into pieces like a cake.

They kill their own little children as child soldiers with cyanide pills tied round their necks. They kill their own members if they disagree to Prabakaran and his commanders. They are pathological liars who blame the Sri Lankan Government, when they the LTTE have committed mass murder by slaughtering their people the Tamils, Sinhalese and Muslims. Right now they keep thousands of civilians trapped in a small enclave in the north west of Sri Lanka, hiding behind them fighting for their lives. Why have the international media, the British and European governments, a British minister not spoken to the LTTE, to release the human shield they are hiding behind and lay down their weapons and surrender, to prevent further bloodshed. The LTTE does not represent the Tamil people, but the innocent civilians have been subjected to pay allegiance to the LTTE. The LTTE have killed Rajiv Gandhi, a Sri Lankan prime minister, numerous government ministers, army, navy personnel and thousands of innocent civilians by their suicide bombers. The war is NOT against the Tamil people of Sri Lanka but solely against the LTTE. The LTTE must be annihilated indiscriminately and wiped out of the face of the planet earth.
