1. And the imperialist nations watch because
Sri Lanka has no real natural resources for big corporations. What is the hell wrong with us and the world ? How can their own people
kill one another, how can there be so many ruthless animals in this world ? How many places this has gone on and is going on while
we only invade countries for oil ? What happened to the United States I grew up in ? The fat lady has sung for us. Stop fooling yourselves into
it getting better one day from some elected president. Those days are over, we are all owned, as is the president, both houses and the military.
They're killing us, however slowly by economic torture. How many millions of lives have they ruined for profit by the banks ? How many more
to come ? No jobs, cut everything needed by the unfortunate. But give more to the wealthy. How dumb have we become to allow this for so many years ?
We can flourish as a nation with corporate profits making stockholders wealthy at the same time helping it's people as a patriotic duty. But that's
been lost in translation. Somehow $6000 shower curtains became fashionable and since then the bar of decadence has to be raised for no other
reason than greed and, look what I can afford.
For this country to sit by asking where did $6 billion go missing in a war that Iraqi's didn't ask for, and the Billions more to contractors, while women
and children are being killed openly, and here at home, children going hungry, I can only wonder what has become of our senses, how have we become
worse than what we say is human rights atrocities around the world when we sit idly by. What happened to the USA ?

2. Justice?
I predict that few will watch this full video, and people will continue to travel to 'beautiful' Sri Lanka for vacations, oblivious to the horrific carnage promulgated by Mahinda Rajapaksa and his brother, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa.

3. Dammit to Hell!!!
This should be required viewing for ALL activists! Why are so few people viewing this clip?!?!

If you can't stomach it, what do you think it's like for the Sri Lankans who are struggling to survive these atrocities?!?

NO ONE should 'vacation' in Sri Lanka! NO ONE should buy ANYTHING from those murderous bastards!!

4. "International law" I just have to laugh every time i hear that.
What on earth do we know about international law and when has the US ever followed it?
