Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't support the war. It used to be a reasonable position but now, with all this
land. I don't know. On a pretty fundamental level, I think war is bad. Killing people is bad, no matter what they've done. I mean, as a Buddhist that's pretty much the first
precept. I guess you can't always do that, but I think we might at least feel bad about it. What I don't get is not the actions, but how desensitized everyone is. Like, I think it's bad that they [ ... ]

The Media War »
www.indi.ca16 hours ago
The main independent TV station (Sirasa) was just set on fire by an armed gang. A few days ago the President himself took over the media ministry. This tells you how important the media war is, and right now the Rajapaske regime is winning. They've marketed and packaged the war to perfection, covering the human suffering with a pancake of make-up. The fall of Kilinochchi was very important, but it was packaged as a 'Mission Accomplished' moment, which it's not. However, the fall was announced in advance and made official just in time for a 4 PM press [ ... ]

Apparently its government name is
Mimosa Pudica. This is a short video of Nidikumba on the side of the road in Unawatuna. [ ... ]
