Sri Lanka Puts Obama to the Test — and He's Failing

My thoughts now.......For those that find themselves asking, what the international community can really do for the Tamils, here in this article are some answers. It's not about picking sides. Well, atleast it doesnt' have to be. Maybe Canada needs to understand this. But at the same time, maybe the Canadian government is confused. Maybe Canada thinks, if they were to talk for the Tamils they will be looked upon as sympathizers of Tamill Tigers, who are clearly declared terrorists in Canada. Can you blame them? Though the protests happening in Toronto, and around the world, have the best of intentions, the flying of the LTTE flags diminishes any strong support it might get..….it doesn't allow the outside world to distinguish between the Tamil people and the LTTE. Of course, some would claim, either proudly or accusingly, there is no difference, and it's one and the same. Yet I can't but wonder, if the flags were put aside, if we'd garner more support for a very legitimate cause….
Anyways...just some thoughts.....
