TiMe to get Political

Inevitable. I have no choice. No matter how much I ignore it it won't go away. Today a hospital has been bombed...tomorrow? I don't know where..
The best part??? The hospital HAS not been shelled! Yes thats what our govt is claiming now!

Confused? So am I. While watching news today there was a report of an attack on the Puthukkudiyiruppu hospital located in the northern Wanni region by three seperate artillary shell attacks. The ICRC (international Commitee of the Red Cross) initially claimed that at least two people were killed and at least 5 others wounded in the first two attacks and many more in the third. (The New York Times, Daily Mirror)

So there we have it. Now however the MCNS director is claiming that the said hospital was NOT attacked and all the reports were simply rumors (according to the Daily Mirror report today)

Wonderful ain't it??? Its ridiculous beyond words. And the worst part??? Its the INNOCENT civilians who are the casulities.

Politics has become the rising stench in our country. The rubbish that Politics has bought into the once clean waters of justice and equality is unfathomable. I don't know if maybe I could be repimanded for writing this but I must write what I feel.

The solution lies with God. There's never been any other answer. Everything that could be done was done, every trick played. Now there are no more cards left to play. The blood of the innocent bear witness to this.

But what do I know?? Me sitting confortably and safely here in my desk in Colombo. With all the security and comforts. Im merely a spectator. All I can say is that
I know:
Innocent lives are being taken
THe war is costing our economy
There are high casualties on the part of the combatents.
The rising cost of living is squeezing the poverty line. The gap betweenthe rich and the poor is rapidly increasing

And that PEACE will not be a reality until we learn to FORGIVE. and FORGET.
