This blogger appreciates the role taken by UN in Sri Lanka in providing details of atrocities in war zones, in particular on civilians. Any attack on hapless civilians need be condemned.
It need be noted that what is happening in Sri Lanka is culmination of long battle against terrorist group that claims to represent Tamil minority wherein in reality they have been a extremely violent and have even eliminated moderate Tamil leaders over the decades. While what happened in Iraq and Palestine is attack on a country. Sri Lanka is trying to bring peace in its country while US/Britain and Israel have encouraged violence by attacking and bombarding cities. So why is UN so keen on Sri Lanka and not on what happened in Baghdad or Palestine?.
To understand this we might have to think in terms of who stands to gain from what. If Sri Lanka is peaceful then what happens to arms dealers, where is the billion dollar profit? Whereas attacks on Iraq and Palestine will initiate more attacks, this will help arms dealers. Aha.
Clearly in last few years arms dealers in war zones of Iraq has made huge profit. When UN plays into the hands of powerful nations it is actually playing into the hands of interest groups. It is win-win for billion dollar arms industry if civil war is prolonged. Surely Sri Lanka is a golden goose.
