be it as it may, inconvenience or not, it seems like what the protesters are doing is working and garnering the attention of government officials..

another interesting article on the whole issue:

Tamils get in staid old city's face

Public mobilization does work, sometimes: NATO, pressed by Washington, intervened militarily in Serbia following the widespread ethnic cleansing of Muslim Kosovars; the economic boycott and global shunning of apartheid South Africa.

Sometimes, it doesn't work, to the international community's shame: Rwanda and Darfur.

Canada may not be able to do much but it can certainly do more in advocating a ceasefire in Sri Lanka that would allow humanitarian aid to reach thousands of trapped civilians.

I think blocking a hiway to get notice for human rights abuses and warcrimes is a wake up call and not a desperate act. The police blocked off the road. I have the feeling this was a planned occurence.

I think people need to understand what the situation is like there, people arn't effected so they don't take notice, its just another part of the world that has a war going on.

It is very real to these people with the family being killed in this violence.

These people are not terrorists, those militants in the north are the remenants of a seperate state. The real terrorism is when they loose their land to an occupation, when subnational reality comes into being.

It is a civil war to a certain extent. If they would only have constructive peace talks, but it seems Colombo is intent on controlling the entire area. While this seems like a plausable outcome because the Tamils are outnumber 4 to 1 or greater. The resolution is a minority group in a country that has been traditionally treated like second class citizens.

This conflict is entering a new stage, but we should not abandon human rights or support war propaganda and lies to be spread. The truth, and human rights should be supported.

Why do soilders need to shell a hospital, why not just take it?


nicely done.

AND, there are more tamils still in Sri lanka than abroad. There are roughly 2 million in the country, as opposed to around 600,000 abroad(the majority of them in Canada).
Genocide might be a harsh word to use in this situation, but in no way are the victims "casualties of war" when the government is deliberately bombing the so-called free-zones that contain hospitals and camps.


EDIT: spelling, fail at engrish


so my typing skills are not at par with those of you who sit in an office all day long switching back and forth between what ever it might be that you are working on, and Tranceaddict.

Stop it with your sensationalizing already. You're acting as if they burned and smashed cars, broken into stores and stole things. All they did was shut down a highway and inconvenienced a couple hundred people. Boo-fucking-hoo Soccer matches in Europe are more dangerous than this "riot".

You're right about the moral of the story though: this does work. Maybe if more people were this passionate about certain issues we wouldn't have to deal with a lot of the crap we have to around here (nightlife, corruption...and just general government incompetence)
