Way to make yourself look stupid, Tamils.

[fickle]

Tamil Tigers wound US and Italian ambassadors.

Normally, I stay away from blogging about Sri Lanka politics but honestly, the Tamil Tigers just sounded like such idiots that I had to quote them here.

"I express our regret at this unfortunate incident," said Rasiah Ilanthirayan, the Tamil Tiger spokesman.

"We are shocked at how the Sri Lankan state childishly exposed very high-level diplomats," he said.

"Our people were not informed of the diplomatic movement...This is a criminal negligence on the part of the Sri Lankan military," Ilanthirayan said.

So, let's get this straight, the Tamil Tigers, a terrorist organization that is responsible for the civil war that's been raging in Sri Lanka for over twenty years, is blaming the Sri Lankann military for their assault on the diplomats? Does anyone else think this sounds incredibly stupid?

"Oh, yeah, we attacked the diplomats but it was YOUR FAULT for letting them be near us!"

Since, you know, it clearly wasn't the Tamils' fault for being idiot terrorists that attack helicopters without even checking to see if they're carrying civilians, military or in this case, foreign diplomats.

If Bush invades Sri Lanka to get rid of the Tamil Tigers, I am going to be pissed beyond belief.

I would say "why would he," but upon remembering it's Bush...

Sri Lanka has no oil. He won't be interested, don't worry.

Bush won't touch it till its 10 years too late XD. I mean, common.

Shame on the Tamil Tigers though. The statement just makes them look dumb *nods*. Have there been any steps towards peace yet? I think I remember they were signing stuff after the Tsunami, but I'm horrible for current events <_<'''. *loves* I've got the afternoon off somehow, the professor canceled the class this evening. *grins* goodness, what am I going to do with all this extra time XD.

They really did an excellent job in making themselves look like idiots this time. Nice spokesman they have, right?

Sri Lanka has jewels. "No blood for gems!"

C'mon. XD Common is a real word.

And yes, shame upon there! There have been several steps towards peace, but the problem is that everyone spends all their time walking. Nothing ever gets done, no matter how many steps get taken.

And YAY! Extra time! *hugs and loves you* I hope you enjoyed it.
