If Rajapaska Is To Be Tried For War Crimes Then What Happens To Cheney, Condoeezza and G.W. Bush Jr.???
Dear readers, I pretty well know
that it has been quite some time since I last posted an article and I know that
I still have not completed the multi-part series on my father. You know what
they say, when there are more pressing matters on hand, why deal with the
trivial. The trivial series on my father shall be dealt with later on when more
pressing matters at hand are discussed first.
There is one particular issue
that has been nagging at me for a very long time. Forgive my ignorance, I sure
am dumb when it comes to law making and political decision but the political
scenario in India is one that needs to be scrutinized a lot.
As you may know, we are currently
ruled by the Congress party in alliance with many major parties from various
states and I suppose they are called the United Democratic Alliance aka UDA.
Now the issue started when the centre had an issue with various scams in the
telecom arena. Many members of the Parliament were indicted in the scam and
most of those members were from a party in Tamil Nadu.
The centre was quiet for a long
time on this issue but with much critical talking amounting, they were
bottle-necked to take action on this issue. Simultaneously the problems with
Mahinda Rajapaska started.
Mahinda Rajapaska is known to be
the president of Sri Lanka who took a stern stand and brought an end to the
LTTE regime in the North of Sri Lanka. Like all world leaders believe, such a
war did have its own collateral damage where Jafna took heavy shelling from the
Sri Lankan army. This war saw many lives, both civilian and armed forces, lost.
There was also talk that majority of the Tamil population in Sri Lanka was
actually exterminated.
I think that gives a gist of what
happened in Sri Lanka. Well, the end result was that the leading political party
that was caught up in the central scams was now diverting the attention it had
gained over one large scam to politically rally the centre to work with the American
government and bring Rajapaska to the stands and tried as a war criminal. This act
made many people question why the political parties were so interested in doing
so only when the scam had hit the roof.
The one point that the local rallying
political party did not think of was, Rajapaska actually put an end to LTTE;
The same radical group that took pride and the responsibility for killing one
of India’s finest leaders in a suicide bombing attack. Thinking in retrospect,
the Congress party sighed in relief when they heard that justice had been
served for taking the life of their best leader and when the case was such, how
could the local party expect The Congress to bring Rajapaska to the stands?
That being one case, could we
ever forget the atrocities that the G. W. Bush Government had put the Iraqi
leader and its people in the year of 2003 when the Iraqi war was waged with
absolutely no proof to the weapons of mass destruction theory.
If Mahinda Rajapaska had to be
brought before the International Criminal Court to be tried for war crimes and
inhumane acts, then what the hell happens to the already scot-free George W.
Bush Jr. Cheney and Condoleezza Rice?
Cheney and Rice claimed that huge
consignments of aluminium tubes were shipped to Iraq which raised the theory
that Sadam was planning to create weapons of mass destruction. We the citizens
of the world solely believed what this useless office-bearers had to say and
supported the move to wage a war against a country that survived by itself for
a very long time – a country that basically just minded its own business.
Well, the war was waged and the
search for weapons of mass destruction made Cheny, Rice and Bush Jr. look like
absolute idiots. They had turned up with shit and just could not prove the
existence of the rubes. Well, even if the tubes where bought for weapons of
mass destruction, then what happened to the bloody nuclear element that would
form the core of such weapons. This useless Bush Jr. govt. claimed to have
found large aluminium tubes being shipped into Iraq, but what happened to the
part where the nuclear element was sourced?
If the local Tamil Nadu party
rallying for justice to the dead Tamil people in Sri Lanka need to be heard,
then the same Tamil party should grow a pair of BALLS and trying standing up to
the American Government. If you wish to take up Rajapaska to the ICC, then let’s
do it chronologically.
The war of Iraq took place in
2002-2003 after which the Sri Lankan-LTTE war took place. So grow the above
mentioned scrotum, have Cheney, Rice and Bush Jr. prosecuted in the ICC before
turning your attention to Rajapaska.
If it is the language (Tamil)
that is bringing about the solidarity to have Rajapaska tried and not bother
about what happened in Iraq, then the justice doled out to Rajapaska would be a
winning point for all Tamil people and their parties but at the same time if
the Bush Jr. administrators are not brough to justice, then haven’t we all
failed as humans??
So what shall we take pride in
later? Long Live Tamil and Fuck Humanity???
Think before you act. You are our
political leaders who need to act with a conscience and lead us.
