their deaths and my helplessness

I did not want to write about this. but I now have to, because if I don't share my frustration, anger and helplessness, I will definitly go mad. even as I type this, I am unable to contain my feelings. I shake in anger, I am most disgusted. and ashamed that there is nothing more I can do.

Warning! images in below links are very graphic and distressing.

what did those children do? to be murdered, slaughtered like animals so cruelly, mercilessly? what would a girl of 10 know of rape and torture? a baby of only few months - how could he, when he cannot even sit by himself, be a threat? first incident is because the family refused to give up their family home to the army/navy to be used as a camp. the whole family tortured and killed because they stood their ground. @#^!&$* Hooray for human rights.

I am unaware of the reasons behind the second incident. to rape a wife in front of her husband, to rape a daughter, a loving sister before the very eyes of the family, to literally spill the guts of a son who would have made the family smile. WHY?? how are these troops so sick that they don't for a moment stop to think? for them any Tamil is a "terrorist". do they not have mothers, sisters and daughters? would they dare imagine of something like this happening to their loved ones? aren't the Tamil people just as human? just as loved by their own?

where is the media report or the interest of the international human rights organisations? not one bloody news agency, apart from the BBC which stated very briefly that there were people killed, uttered a word. are they all so wrapped up in believing the false propoganda of the government? where are the peace keepers now? do they think their job is to speak up only when something happens in the South or to the non-Tamils? why are these killing being hidden from the world? are they hoping that if they ignore it, it will go away? NEWSFLASH!!! it won't! ask them to come out of their hiding holes. these are not isolated incidents. everyday someone is being tortured and killed slaughtered. where is the justice?

even unheard, the curses will be uttered. may the bloodhounds perish!
