Island of insanity
So there. Now, noone can even pretend anymore that there is a ceasefire on Sri Lanka.
COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lankan troops began their first deliberate advance on Tamil Tiger rebels since a 2002 cease-fire on Sunday, moving to secure a rebel-held water supply and using air strikes to hold off rebel reinforcements.
More than 800 people have been killed so far this year, and the rebels’ closing of a water channel from an eastern rebel-held area to government-held farms prompted a surge in violence in recent days including air and artillery strikes.
There is probably just as much concentrated insanity on Sri Lanka as in the Middle East. The upside is that, unlike with the latter, noone else is affected. Even if Sri Lanka burned to the ground, it never could set half the world ablaze.
