So yeah, I get on my trusty iBook once again (I'm not sure why I never went through with my plans to turn my desktop into a Windows box. I guess it was for the games), and I get to this article on the BBC News about the Tamil Tigers, the separatists in Sri Lanka, and how Canada has stuck them on their country's 'terror list', as it were.

Now, I'm all for denouncing groups that go about killing people, be they military casualties, civilians, et cetera. But, in that case, why don't we put the Sri Lankan army on there too? They certainly have no problems violating the same ceasefire that western countries are always tooting the horns about. Oh, wait, that's right, we won't put governments on that list unless they're from the Middle East.

What harm would it do to negotiate a sovereign region for the Tamils? Dravidians and Indians are different people, with different beliefs and customs, and they're not going to get along well if one feels like they're being subjected by the other. It works like this all around the world, and the Sri Lankan government's cock-swelling rhetoric isn't doing either side any good. If we could get off the fucking 'you're a terrorist' boat and actually try and solve a problem, the world might not be half so fucked up these days.

Just a shorty for now...
