WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?

Children were the latest victims as the crisis deepened in Sri Lanka. The United Nations children's organisation, Unicef, said a number of children were killed in a government air strike on territory held by the Tamil Tiger rebels.

The Tigers claimed that the air strike hit an orphanage in the north-eastern Mullaitivu district and that 61 schoolgirls were killed, and 155 injured. Unicef could not confirm the Tigers' figures, but had been able to establish that "children were injured and killed", said Junko Mitani, a spokeswoman for Unicef's Sri Lanka office.

True, the number of casualties came from the Tamil themselves, who may be attempting the same gimmick that worked so flawlessly in Qana. I'm sure they were expecting that all the "genocide", "holocaust" cries from biempensants from all over the world would be heard from them. I bet they were expecting Tamil flag-waving demonstrations all over the world's capital.

How naif of them. They'd need to have Jews among their ranks for that.
