The US is fully aware of the extent of Indian involvement in the genocide and any probe into Mullivaikal genocide will expose India. So US won't go hard on that.

(MELBOURNE) - Originally, I did not belong to any group, but eventually I gravitated towards the Tamil Tigers and Prabhaharan, as they were the ones who were better organised and motivated.

The multiple militant groups, who were mostly selfish and self-centred, had been the bane of the liberation struggle.

Protected by Guilt and Fear

If one accepts the vocalizing of Abe Foxman of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Americans, like Germans, should feel constant guilt for anti-Semitism.

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - How do most Americans react to criticism of Israel? Those who know little about the history avoid discussion.

(DAYTONA BEACH, FL) - When I was a kid, growing up in the Alberta dust bowl during the Thirties, Queen Victoria's Birthday was a holiday. It still is. Victoria ruled England and all the little colonies beyond the seas for 60 years or so until she kicked well over 100 years ago. Despite the fact that nobody liked her that much even when she was alive, we still chant about Victoria Day, and celebrate with barbecues and car sales.

Victoria said things like "The Queen is not amused," and other third person gems, such as "For a woman, marriage is beastly..."

An Alliance of Deceit- Christian Zionists and Religious Israelis

The Christians try to convert Jews, and the Jews do not reciprocate in kind. But religious Jews, pro-settlers and settlers, are so desperate for allies in a world that has abandoned them, that they play the game.

Marines Failed to Safeguard Water Supply

Lejeune ignored reports that its base wells were contaminated with organic solvents. As many as one million Marines, dependents and civilian workers were exposed to toxic chemicals at Lejeune.

(SALEM) - Camp Lejeune could have used a simple test mandated by the Navy in 1963 to learn that its water wells were seriously contaminated. The AP broke the story on May 19, 2013.[1] (UPDATED MAY 22, 2013)

As early as 1963, the Navy Manual required Lejeune to use the carbon chloroform extract (CCE) test to check the quality of water for base wells.

PAKISTAN: Christian Minority Candidates Sidelined Again in 2013
