Most governments need to be called to account as there are not many who have not murdered thousands of people and forced many people to become murderers.
Yeah well they're in big trouble now cos if Julia or Joe Lunchwig see any of that they will cut off all our exports of Srilankians to that country right now! Then see how they like it!
But they were terrorists. It's the war on terror. The Sri Lankan army fought the Tamil terrorists. Just remember the Tamil Tigers were the first group to use suicide bombers as a bomb delivery method. Civilian casualties were minimized but unfortunately it's hard to tell a civilian Tamil from a Tiger.
That's the arguments they use. Basically the same argument our government uses too.
I totally agree that those who decided upon a policy of payback and genocide need to be brought to account. However it's unlikely to happen. So there will be another round of violence over there in the future.
