Mahinda Rajapaska Vs. George W. Bush Jr. - War Crime Atrocities

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.

The Little Slaughtered Man

The latest picture of the war crimes in srikanka covered by channel 4 in the uk decidedly brought to mind just one old adage....fattened before the slaughter.

This particular set of pictures spoke volumes about the loss of humanity in our world. The first picture is one where this innocent child of 12 sat with a vacant expression, the next picture shows him eating something and the very next picture showed a lifeless body of the same child with five dark bullet entry wounds to the chest. The child was shirtless in all three pictures and is found wearing the same green shorts in all three.

Apparently, technologists state that all three pictures were shot from the same camera. But what is its point when such a picture shows a lifeless child lying in the middle of nowhere....dead.

Is the world really that thick-skinned to just stand by and witness such an atrocity? Wasn't such acts found in the pages of history which also talks about the downfall of large civilizations immediately after such acts? 

We in the twenty first century, are we senselessly bringing upon a destruction upon our own heads?

Technological advancements might claim various things with regards to the picture- when, where and how it was shot. But is all that going to bring back the child to life? Was he put to death just because he was the son of Prabakaran; leader of the LTTE group that was silenced.

If there is someone on this planet who wishes to speak for the voiceless or the dead at this point of time, then here is me challenging you....bring justice, make this child be heard.

Human lives are shed for various reasons but ain't it shameful to slaughter a human child after feeding it? Was such an act, really an act to prove somebody's sardonic and sarcastic way of looking at this child's life?

What was the Sri Lankan government thinking? Lets fatten this child and then slaughter it?

We are so very civilized that we now have PeTA to give voice to the four-legged voiceless, but do we have an agency that can give voice to the now-dead innocent children who were slaughtered for the "sins" of the fathers?
