Non Sequitur

The Sri Lankan military has said today that it has stopped using aircraft / heavy weapons against the "Safe Zone". One naturally infers from this statement that they had been using aircraft / heavy weapons against the "Safe Zone", something that they have been denying doing so for the last two weeks. Everything the Tamils have been claiming is turning out to be true.

The contempt and arrogance shown by the Sri Lankan government / military shows the impotence of the "International Community". But in the past few days there have been signs that the "International Community" is waking up to the duplicity of the Sri Lankans. But it will come too late for the 50,000 civilians trapped in the "Safe Zone". The bloodbath that so many had predicted is now just a matter of when rather than if.
