You may want to read his comments? <br /><br />Yes, neither the US nor anyone else is planning on any sanctions against SL. <br /><br />The state of Tamil Nadu - the ruling party ie. has requested the central government to impose sanctions on SL last week. Thats that. Nothing's gonna happen. <br /><br />Of course! I dont deny the 'selfish' motive.

I don't believe the USA or India or the UN is pushing for any kind of sanctions against Sri Lanka. No action is planned by any country or any organization. <br /><br />Again keep in mind, countries engage in this kind of situation if there is personal interest.

Here it is since you asked.
Mike Owens...Just FYI. Here it is since you asked.<br /><br />Mike Owens, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, warned Sri Lanka in May 2009 and I quote:<br /><br />"About consequences if the government of Sri Lanka does attack the safe zone and large numbers of civilians are killed: Certainly, there would be consequences, and we've made it very clear to the leadership of the government of Sri Lanka there would be strong consequences if that occurred. I would not want to sort of tie our hands in terms of specifying exactly what those consequences would be, but we would certainly hold the government of Sri Lanka responsible for the death of a lot of civilians, and we've made that very clear to the leadership.”<br /><br />Robert Blake, US Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia told a media briefing in Colombo on May 4, 2011 and I quote:<br /><br />“The United States has continually expressed to the Government of Sri Lanka the importance of implementing a credible and independent process to ensure accountability. Domestic authorities have responsibility to ensure that those responsible for violations of international humanitarian law are held accountable. International mechanisms can become appropriate in cases where states are either unable or unwilling to meet their obligations.”<br /><br />It took the mighty America 10 years to bring Osama Bin Laden to Justice. So, wait and see what is going to happen to Mahinda Rajapaksa and his fellow culprits.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-28604987821384118322011-06-15T15:38:44.285+05:302011-06-15T15:38:44.285+05:30very nicevery niceमहेन्द्र श्रीवास्तवhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549481835805681387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-7676529747621016592011-06-15T15:12:42.357+05:302011-06-15T15:12:42.357+05:30Makk,

Thats the dilemma. <br /><br /><b>Ramesh,</b><br /><br />These comments coming from an editor - thank you sir :) <br /><br /><b>Neha,</b><br /><br />Yes, Gaddafi is a dictator; amassed wealth and brought suffering to his people. Some say good things about him. But what is NATO doing now? What is right? What is wrong?<br /><br />Ultimately people suffer. <br /><br /><b>anil,</b><br /><br />Yeah I guess this is the first time I am writing directly relating to international politics. I just felt that I had to share my views, was sleepy last night; yet posted this. <br /><br />Its difficult to pin point who is a bigger threat. If the leader was plundering the country, the allies are trying nothing newer. Is it the oil? Seems so..We will never know the truth.<br /><br />We know who are all the crooks, dont we?<br /><br /><b>SG,</b><br /><br />Do they have to be set free from the dictator? Is that all the motive behind those cluster bombs and apaches?<br /><br />Why do you think I am bashing America? Is NATO ONLY America? Seems so...you said it. <br /><br />Well, there are fellow human beings suffering elsewhere in the hands of tyrant.<br /><br />We can make a huge list of it. Gadaffi is never an angel. But my only question - how can you liberate people while bombing them? <br /><br />What happened with Iraq, Afghanistan? <br /><br />The passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 called for a ceasefire, and authorized military action to protect civilians.<br /><br />Protect civilians by bombing them? <br /><br />Why are you bringing in Indians here for no reason? I dont think we Indians turn our way and do nothing! We deal with problems in a more sensible way. <br /><br /><i>America (NATO) bashing comes out of inferiority complex because we (Indians) have no guts to do an operation like taking out Osama Bin Laden.</i><br /><br />NATO is just not America,it has 28 countries as its members. so no one is bashing America here. We have no guts to do an operation like taking out Osama? It was a hush-hush operation, whatever it was, at the end of the day; breaking the sovereignty of a democratic country? Preach about democracy and dont follow it??<br /><br />They did not even care what would have happened if Pakistan took some steps thinking it as an Indian attack? What if they had responded with bombing on Indian cities? Would America have owned it up?<br /><br />That was wrong! very wrong! <br /><br />Dont any American wait for an India visa? <br /><br />You may want to watch this - http://visionvine.wordpress.com/2011/05/24/gaddafis-plan-to-convert-oil-sales-to-the-gold-dinar/<br /><br /><b>A,</b><br /><br />Yes.

One wonders why, in NO Islamic nation can we find democracy. How does Islam view democracy, human rights, equality and all other qualities that we usually assign under the nearest ideals for human society?<br /><br />To me, the political situation in Libya, in Egypt, Yemen and a host of other countries to follow, has cultural and religious roots. Unless the orthodox, extremist Islam learns to accept and tolerate other beliefs and cultures, peace will remain an dream for their people.Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050700084750309897.post-35685625783659079172011-06-14T01:43:25.542+05:302011-06-14T01:43:25.542+05:30Agree.
