Shakti, how are you friend?!
As usual you ask good questions and provide well-reasoned answers.
However I would like you to consider the fact that MR could not carry out this war without the support of the very same liberal democracies that you hold in high esteem.
The EU ban of the LTTE, the Canadian ban, the backdoor military support of India, the crackdown on the Tamil diaspora's fundrasising efforts by all the western states, are what makes it possible for MR to prosecute this war.
Without foreign aid, SL is bankrupt. No money for food and certainly no money for weapons. Despite the human rights noises made by the liberal democracies of the world they squarely side with the GOSL.
This is the international stage upon which the Kurrukan puppets dance. |
