The Sri Lankan president has declared a military victory over the Tamil Tigers after 26 years of bloody civil war. Speaking on a visit to Jordan, Mahinda Rajapakse said he would return home to a nation totally free from the "barbaric acts" of the rebel group. However, fighting is still thought to continuing in a tiny area of the north-east where the Tigers' leadership is said to be cornered. More than 70,000 people have died in the bitter war for a Tamil homeland. Full Report >>

"totally free from the "barbaric acts" of the rebel group"......well maybe, but not from those of the Government Forces, who are probably bombing ten colours out of the area at the minute. Without doubt in a few days time we will be shown footage of vast numbers of 'massacred civilians / last-stand Tigers' who the Government Forces had 'fought to save'. Democracy in action.....
