I believe him, I have no sympathy for LTTE or Srilankan Govt..
My very close and dear friends were brutally killed by LTTE (female teenagers)during IPKF operation.[right][snapback]55756[/snapback][/right]
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->Don't know what to say. I've only heard horror stories of LTTE terror narrated to me by Sri Lankan Tamils settled here. To think how before that, I had allowed the media to convince me that the LTTE was in any way representative of the Lankan Tamil (Hindu) population. Shudder.
From what I can gather, the Lankan Hindus don't have a problem with the country's Buddhists. Don't really know much about the Sri Lankan government though, so I should not have mentioned them.

Majority of kids in camps have no clue about their parents. They are killing machine. Senseless killers. I don't think these kids will ever reach age 20.

Does your explanation relate to children victimised by the LTTE or those by Islam in Palestine? Either way, what's happening is despicable. And the media predictably devotes the usual deafening silence to both cases.
