Film accusing Sri Lanka of war crimes screened at UN

The Sri Lankan military committed numerous war crimes during the final months of the country’s 26-year civil war, according to a documentary aired for the first time, amid vigorous protests from Colombo.
Using graphic video and pictures taken both by retreating Tamil Tiger rebels, civilians and victorious Sri Lankan troops, “No Fire Zone – The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka” presents a chilling picture of the final 138 days of the conflict that ended in May 2009. (Trailer)

A Reflection

During his university lecture in Regensburg after being elected, the Pope quoted the words of Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus: “Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached”. That had created a furore in the Islamic world.
The Pope further said that violence is incompatible with the nature of God and the nature of soul. “God,” he said, “is not pleased by blood—and not acting reasonably is contrary to God’s nature.

Counter Evolution

The world at present is at the phase of counter evolution. Counter evolutionary phase is a painful phase in human history:
example of counter revolution is Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956, of Checkoslovakia in 1968 and military uprising of the fundamentalist against Bangladesh Govt. In 1975. Uprising of military junta led by C.I.A against peoples govt. in Central and South America.
