URGENT APPEAL!!!Please save Tsunami Tamil Children being recruited by LTTE Tamil Tiger Terrorists as "Child Soldiers"
....................."My parents refused to give me to the LTTE so about fifteen of them came to my house—it was both men and women, in uniforms, with rifles, and guns in holsters…. I was fast asleep when they came to get me at one in the morning.… These people dragged me out of the house. My father shouted at them, saying, “What is going on?”, but some of the LTTE soldiers took my father away towards the woods and beat him to death. They also pushed my mother onto the ground and and killed her when she tried to stop them". ---(girl recruited by the LTTE in 2003 at age sixteen)---

><"People here are facing a critical moment. In our view, it is time to move forward. It is time to reverse the negative momentum that’s being happening for the last months, even going back over a year. (Richard A. Boucher, Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asian Affairs

The purpose of this page is to spread awareness about the terrorism that is still taking place in Sri Lanka. Since Sri Lanka gained it's independence from the British, there has been ethnic conflict between the Tamils and the Sinhalese.
Since 1983, Sri Lanka has experienced terrorism by the LTTE (Tamil Tigers) in the Northern and Eastern provinces that has resulted in life-threatening and traumatic experiences for women; loss of life,rape and being searched by armed groups are daily occurrences. The LTTE has recruited and used children, some as young as nine, as soldiers throughout the Sri Lankan civil war. The average age of children at the time of recruitment into the LTTE is 15. According to latest estimates by UNICEF, 1,642 children, of which 667 are still under 18, have been recruited by the LTTE. The LTTE claim to be so-called "liberators" of the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka, and justify the violent acts as a response to the oppression the Tamils reportedly have experienced by the government. However, only a very small minority of Tamils in Sri Lanka support such extreme and violent measures. The vast majoirty of the Sinhalese and Tamil citizens simply wish to co-exist in peace. Although there has been many attempts for peace talks, all of them have failed miserably. It is unclear as to what the future wil hold. What is evident however, is that it is neither the corrupt politicians nor the LTTE terrorists who are suffering from this 24 year long war; it's the innocent civilians. Fear, Terror,violence, corruption, penury, hunger...you name it, these innocent people are living in it as a result of this meaningless bloodshed!

You are welcome too in the living light of Kalidasa's words, the antique great poet seer of India, known by the Indian Shakespeare by the scholars all over the world. But he is still quite unknown in the west...in fact i only know one indian poet as gifted as he is, and i'm sure you know him : Thiruvalluvar :)
I'm glad this page is still attended to. I haven't commented in awhile but I definitely support my mother country going in a positive direction soon. Hell after tonight, looks like America is too. Keep the peace!
credit crunch fuel and food wars - it's time to get real people
When the lights go out What you gonna do when the lights go out no one to listen to you scream and shout It’s coming/It’s here How you gonna feel when the lines go dead and your Third World life stretches out ahead
There’s only so much bio fuel to burn and maybe we’ve already used it There’s only so much Planet Earth can take and we’ve well and truly abused it There was always plenty of wealth to go round but never in the hands of the greedy few who possess it Only enough stuff left for 2 billion 6 billion plus gonna be around to contest it
Bullshit words and empty deeds feed the doubt and plant the seed New demand gives way to new war targeting resources where our enemies are Feed you till you’re fit to burst make you hunger make you thirst Expectation is the key keeps you thinking that you live free Faced with recession faced with loss it’s easier to ignore the cost More tacit consent more Third World horror keeps you feeling safe tomorrow But soon enough when the wind turns cold you’ll have to face the lie you’ve been told You’ll fuck your neighbours and fuck your friends and this is where your humanity ends
Burning bright We’re expected to embrace The Beijing flame Human rights Are denied So they can play their stupid games
But we couldn’t go to Moscow Because the Commies were bad guys But now they want to buy Nike And they can sell us cheap textiles And depress all dissent And that is the democracy we like
Sweat Shop labour To make the toys Stamped with Olympic pride Crimes of poverty In a rich nation Hidden from our eyes
But we don’t delve too deeply Because we need the market Don’t want to lose our profits Or even our position We’ve got to keep on creaming That is the democracy That is the democracy Keep our nation rich and free That is the democracy we like
