#1 Lanka: Army 'facing strong resistance' from Tamil rebels

Now that's got to be the stupidest headline ever, Lankans are trying to kill the Tamil Tigers, what do they expect,a parade with candy and roses as the Tamils march to the gallows?

#2 The International Red Cross and the UN have both warned that a humanitarian catastrophe was unfolding in the region

Thanks for the info. Any comments about the humanitarian catastrophe that's claimed tens of thousands of lives over the years? Hopefully the whole d@mned thing will come to an end shortly and everyone can get on with their lives.

#3 An ex-Tamil Tiger told me that before he
managed to escape, he always had an officer's gun
pointed at him and hardly a day passed without
a fellow "soldier" getting executed for some spurious reason or on general principles.

The Tigers always refused to join Al Qaeda despite numerous overtures and the underlying
reason was that the rags where too soft...

There wont be many survivors in that neck of the jungle!
