Reporters for the
Guardian have picked up on
the Sri Lankan dispute I touched upon
yesterday. Once again, it's almost as if they read this blog. They make the comparison with Gaza, just as I did, and they pick up on a key point:
The Tamil Tigers used suicide bombers and have been accused of using civilians as human shields.
Not only did the Tigers pioneer the act of suicide bombing, they are also accredited with being the first terrorist organization to recruit women and children, civilians, to strap bombs to themselves. Their treatment of the surrounding refugees is central to the issue, not necessarily the death toll.
