The UN’s plan for making white people feel better
By Kath Noble
Last week I felt like I had been transported back in time. We were back in those awful first six months of 2009, when I was by turns horrified at the plight of the people caught up in the fighting in the Vanni and disgusted with the way in which the international community was responding.
Of course, we all wanted to stop the war. I hate violence. But as I argued then and continue to believe, at that point, the only way the war was going to stop was with the defeat of the LTTE. Prabhakaran would not give up on Eelam. He was going to continue his vicious campaign against the Sri Lankan state and all its communities until he was caught or killed. Our task, therefore, was to minimise the damage. We had to try to ensure that it was done with as little death and destruction as possible.

Miliband's campaign: Blind to the truth and bedding falsehoods
by Saratha RAJENDRAN
Historians give credit to the British for creating most of the internal conflicts in countries which were under British colonial rule (Ex: Rhodesia, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka).
A most apparent case study would be the British Labour Party's decision to move from the Tories' policy of humanitarian relief in Yugoslavia to threaten, then actual, aggression against the Serbs. By rewarding each separatist group in turn, it achieved NATO's covert objective of Balkan fragmentation.
Having said that, why would the same Labour Party's David Miliband be interested in interfering with a national issue in Sri Lanka soil? The latest exhibition of impunity unfolds as the former British Foreign Minister appears in yet another Channel-4 outcry of "possible war crimes". "Incompetent neo-imperial meddler", is how Sri Lanka regards Miliband who has always fallen short of responsible statesmanship on his convictions, backed by purely biases lacking in facts.
