JVP asks UN to help 'dismantle' LTTE
2005-01-12
The Sinhala nationalist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) has asked the United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan to "help dismantle the terrorist LTTE."
Yeah. Kofi's gonna jump right in and help dismantle a terrorist organization. That has guns. Right.
All they want him to do is talk about it, right?
Have you looked at a tiger recently, pal? Tigers don't do horizontal stripes. Sheesh.
In a letter to Annan last Saturday, the JVP's Supremo, Somawansa Amarasinghe, said that the international community had an obligation to stand up for what it had been advocating, namely democracy, free elections, free speech, the rule of law, accountability, transparency and the rights of children. The LTTE had no such attributes, the Amarasinghe said. The LTTE was preventing relief from reaching the Tamil victims of the tsunami, sometimes by firing in the air to scare away the Good Samaritans, he said. "Help dismantle the terrorist LTTE," he urged.

#5  Sticking your hands in your pockets is not very military, and that moustache looks like a stick-on:|)

#3  He looks like someone just poked him with a very sharp stick in a sensitive area. And those stripes are not his colour at all.

#2  Poor disallusioned Somawansa, with respect to the rights of children (UN in Congo), free elections (no UN in Iraqi free elections), etc., he may soon realize that Kofi and crew are the problem, not the solution.
