How was the invasion of a private residence by military forces and the killing in cold blood of an unarmed man (bin Laden) any different than the Prabhakaran killing on the battlefield? I argue that the Prabhakaran killing is MORE justified than the bin Laden one because it was done on an actual battlefield and was not a home invasion by elite military assasins, who were sent there to kill the man rather than accept any surrender.<br /><br />that said, if Sri Lanka plays its cards right, they can be like any other country in Asia, with regards to human rights. They just need to learn to stay under the radar in that regard rather than making so much noise about things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
