'1,000 civilians killed'.. In two Days!!

A doctor today said as many as 1,000 civilians had been killed in two nights of artillery attacks on a government-designated safe zone in Sri Lanka.
The doctor, V Shanmugarajah, reported that hundreds of bodies had been brought to a hospital as the UN said the bloodbath it had feared since the government launched its all-out campaign to destroy the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had now become a reality.

The United Nations has described the situation in northern Sri Lanka as a "bloodbath" after reports of heavy civilian casualties at the weekend.
UN spokesman in Colombo Gordon Weiss said more than 100 children died during the "large-scale killing of civilians".
Where is everyone? Where's US's great power when it's truly needed?
OW..i've almost forgot.. There's no OIL in Srilanka..that's why people there deserve to be killed without a single action..

... fuck... The UN seems so cool and collected about it, why aren't they angry?

"In far and away country, they gave acres of land away for free, to all able to claim it... Ships sailed across the great seas, fortunes were made and dreams shattered... Sometimes couples were torn apart, for all they could afford...was one ticket."
here in Brasil the media doesn't stop to talk about h1n1, but there's no much information about the slaughter on Sri Lanka....
sad....

The US already have their hands full with Iraq and Afghanistan. Available troops need to be sent to Afghanistan seeing as we're losing the war over there. We can't be sending them out to every crisis that happens to pop up.
If we sent soldiers to Sri Lanka all we'd accomplish is pushing the Tamil Tigers into guerrilla warfare. Then it would be another Iraq just with more casualties since the LTTE are much better equipped than the insurgents. Civil wars should be kept within respective countries. Outside war influence and action from first world countries on third world prove disastrous. Iraq and Afghanistan are perfect examples of that.
