    I almost posted something about that, Horp, but didn't know where to start.

    It's all about land. Singhalese vs. Tamils. My sister was the president of the Tamil Student's Union at her university, so she has been going to rallies and protests at Parliament. I think I will join them at the end of February, although I don't have a strong view about supporting one side or the other.

    My family is Tamil. The Tamil Tigers = terrorists to most countries, freedom fighters to others. Most Western countries support the Singhalese government in Sri Lanka right now. I don't think the Tigers kill as many people as the Singhalese do, but, the bottom line is that innocent lives are still lost.
