Condolences to our Tamil neighbour Since I posted my blog on the Tamils my Tamil neighbour has told us that she has just discovered that her mother and many of her family were murdered last week by the Sri Lankan army. Many Tamils have been murdered in cold blood . We all learned with concern how paramilitary Sinhalese militias are now free to conduct murderous vendettas against civilians who supported the Tigers. We hear that the Tamil population is being penned up in vast camps and international organisations are being prevented for verifying the conditions of this camps, but that Ban Ki-Moon will soon visit. In the fist place, our deepest condolences go to our neighbour. In the second place our government must act powerfully to protect the Tamil population. This is the moment for liberal interventionism if there ever was one. Remember Dachau .
