I won't watch it AHERNE, as I like to walk on the sunny side of the street mate.

It does illustrate though ,that this country chooses it's battles very carefully, normally only if oil is involved.

i was going to mention the oil myself alfie ..... makes my blood boil how we "USE" our soldiers the way we do! ... its ok for poor countries to kill one another AS we see on the news every few years, but as soon as the slightest trouble happens in countries like libya we jump straight in! .... its beyond! ... and i dont blame you for not watching cause it one of those that sticks around in the mind for a few days/weeks!

Just watched it & it disturbed me to be honest. How the army could just shell hospitals & areas that civilians were camped in is unbelievable .The UN left them to be slaughtered

havent watched it yet got it on sky plus, i was looking to go there on holiday some time. as it looks nice there,

It's available on 4 on demand (on your computer)

Very sad documentary. And truly shocking.
Shame our country is wasting its time in Afghan, perhaps they could have seen to Sri Lanka.

And some on here are getting VERY WOUND UP about our potential new manager. Puts things in to perspective really. I don't think i will watch it as this kind of thing makes me so angry and just leaves me with a massive sense of helplessness. God help the victims of these attrocities !!!

This country and the UN knew exactly what was going on but were`nt "with" the Tamil Tigers.Politics is a dirty business.
And yes,football pales into insignificance when confronted with scenes from that programme.
On a personal note,what happened was appalling but affected me in no way whatsoever and I slept like a log.I get more upset at cruelty to animals.Don`t know why,though.

and we play football with the germans,every country has a shameful past or present,it so sad to think what humans are capable of

britain and the usa, will only argue, fight, or start a war . where oil is concerned, they dont give a shit about anybody else,

I'm exactly the same. I think it must be the fact that animals are so undemanding, and don't really have the potential to be greedy evil bastards. Unfortunately, all people have the potential to be: just depends where 'the dice' roll.

Saying that, what has happened to the Tamils in in Sri Lanka disgusts me, as doesn the Palestinians treatment by the Israelis. No matter what the differences are politically, religously or ethnically, it just shows a subhuman streak when violence is used to metaphorically 'crush' people.

Not many countrys care , cos there is no oil there !

Aherne it is all to common as was shown in my thread on the rape of Nanjing. All throughout time this has happened it happens now and it will still be happening in a hundred years.Humans are truly an awful species and mainly religion is used as an excuse. If there is a God what must he think or if he is all powerful as they say why did he make Humans this way.
But it is bang on the nail what others on this thread say and that Sri Lanka has no Oil .

a bit like when bosnian muslims were rounded up in thousands and shot in fields..

gadaffi gets caught having a tit wank and its on BBC news
