source : FASThe last few days saw the Claymore Mines taking their victims numbering over 50. Sounds like no point of De-mining as Re-minig seem to be happening at a faster rate. The Sri Lankan people have seen enough bloodshed due to the conflict. We've witnessed war for almost all of our short lifespan. We can coexist. Its the leaders who are greedy for power and a few brain washed maniacs who can't coexist. Why build fences around us when we all are human beings ? Are humans born to self destruct ? We would not face another tommorow if not for the brave souls who gave up theirs in the name of freedom. It'll take ages when we realize that "Front Towards Enemy" is actually "Front Towards Friend,Brother,Sister, ......"
"They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old,
age shall not wither them nor the years condemn;
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
we will remember them ..."

I like that poem. Its beautiful.
whats really sad is how people in Sri Lanka have learnt to co-exist with the war. I dont remember a time without it and it looks set to remain that way..now that peace talks are no -go
:(
hey Venus, It is an agony to live with war. Almost like co-nonexistence. The ppl of the North East were stripped off a chance to show their gratitude for peace efforts. (Not allowed to vote at the Presidential Election)Hope the leaders r pursuing the correct goal - peace in the hearts of the people.
