Many are still carrying scars from JVP insurrections and refusing to trust the current lot, even though it is unlikely any of them had any real authority back in the day. So deep is the hurt. And yet, many of us think the northern Sri Lanka should just move on. Think about it.

This is something that always gets me. The amount of cold bloodedness to kill a child and the mental gymnastics to justify it comes from a dark dark place.
LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran's 12 year old son Balachandran was captured and executed by the Sri Lankan army 13 years ago. Sri Lanka’s def sec Kamal Gunaratna himself is thought to have pulled the trigger, on the orders of Gotabaya Rajapaksa
