Re: Lankan forces photographed killing 12-yr-old son of LTTE leader in
Good nations admit to it, investigate but rouge states don't.
Do you even know what happened to the soldiers who were accused in the Abu Gharib incident? They were all let off, either discharged, demoted or simply reprimanded. You were saying, good nations...what?
Sri Lanka is not a rogue state.
Why not ? Mukti bahini would have done same to you if you would have supported West Pakistani crack down by sending your own army. But you did excatly opposite.
Please explain. I have no idea what you mean here.
Then Sri Lankan Tamil would have needed extra ordinary support because they do not have natural borders with us. Influx of refuges was absorbed within their own borders which then lead to massive atrocities committed against them by Sinhala army UNO is crying about.
No, we have no right or duty to help Sri Lanka. This is the UN's problem. India cannot simply send troops anywhere without prior permission from the UN, and they gave none. Same for refugees. If refugees manage to cross into India on their own, they can be helped. If they are standing on the Lankan shore expecting help, India cannot help.
Either you preach me lessons of Realpolitik or make it clear your will restrain your self not to preach me rationality based on morality. I understand both BTW.
Please make your stand clear. Do you want India to invade Sri Lanka for no reason or do you want India to do something else? Please keep in mind that the persecution of Sri Lankan Tamils have nothing to do with India.
Emotional issue are made out of no where, it is the govt. in power to endorse policies and actions bases on any issue they think is worth an excuse. For some nations refugee crisis is an excuse to go for the war, some nations just soak the same refugees for 10s of years, at times forever.
Yes, the govt is to blame. But not the central govt, the state govt. They are the ones inciting the masses.
There are a lot of Tibetans,
with citizenship, in India who have been begging India for help in freeing Tibet. But India has nothing to do with Tibet either.
So, if India does not go to war over Tibet, why would India go to war over Lankan Tamils. I repeat again, who are they to us?
Crack down of east Pakistanis was not our problem as well. UNO need mandate to hunt down and then support on the ground to do such action, not mere the lip service by some bureaucrat from a nation which would chicken out at acute need of tactical and logistical assistance.
The crackdown in Bangladesh was a direct problem for us. Apart from the massive problems of the exodus of refugees, East Pakistan's volatility was also affecting anti-India elements within India. The refugee and human rights violation was only an excuse, we invaded East Pakistan to secure our own borders. Otherwise, we don't give two hoots about them either.
Sri Lanka poses no threat to the Union of India.
India has always fought wars with a purpose, none had anything to do with human rights or protecting some ethnic tribe. India had no issues bringing down Assamese terrorists in the NE or Punjabis fighting for Khalistan.
Death of one solider is as complex as of many in one expedition. All you need is to investigate, which never happened.
I don't know what you are referring to. If you are talking about IPKF, then India currently cannot run any kind of investigations anywhere in Sri Lanka. Do you think the US ever tried investigations in Vietnam or Korea after their loss? Heck they didn't even touch Cuba after the Bay of Pigs incident.
Don't give clean Chit to SL, many stories are yet to come out only it is we Indian been deprived of the real information because of Congres-I blocking it or SL is yet to cooperate with independent agencies.
Nope. I am not supporting Sri Lanka in my posts. I obviously have no love for the LTTE either. I am neutral in this subject and would treat it the same way as I would with regard to Palestinians or Kurdish.
I am neither a Tamilian who would shout himself hoarse over war atrocities in Lanka nor am I a Muslim fanatic who would sit half the world away and shout about freeing Palestine. I am an Indian and a neutral. My most important worries are the Naxal issue, Kashmir issue and the NE issue in this order when it comes to our internal security. Since I am Indian, I have Indian issues to worry about. I know very well that these issues have the highest chance of getting me in a fix, not Sri Lanka or Palestine.
Invading SL is one option always at the bay, there can be no better opportunity than having USA and UNO lambasting them unanimously.
US has a lot of power and influence, they have invoked and slapped human right charges on Lanka. UN will follow through with diplomatic maneuvers once the fighting settles down. Let them handle it. We can follow up with humanitarian assistance as we are currently doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's when we can make our move, if we have planned any.
In today's world, Sri Lanka will have no kahoonies to start a new apartheid system. It may take at least 50 years but the Tamils will eventually be integrated with the Sinhalese. We can simply hope for the best.
USA? Israel?Britain? tell me..
you people never learn right?
