Why does only Sri Lanka come under war crimes?

I am a medical doctor in a Sri Lanka Government hospital. I am amazed at the way UN is treating the people and Government of Sri Lanka, even after finishing a fearsome war with the LTTE to save over 300,000 Tamils.

I have been working in hospitals attached to IDP camps in Sri Lanka where we have been visiting and treating those patients from war areas on rotational basis continuously. It is unbelievable to see the Government's real effort to heal the sick and wounded even though we are living in a third world country.

LTTE, the world's most fearsome terrorist group was defeated by the Sri Lanka Government Armed Forces. And the EU states are trying to bring charges of war crimes against the Government of Sri Lanka.

First I think we should assess why the war was there. Why UN and EU trying to find fault with the Sri Lanka Government. And what are the possible consequences those UN and EU will have to face.

Sri Lanka has already lost more than 100,000 lives during past three decades due to the activities of the LTTE. Most of the time it was LTTE who killed civilians using suicide bombers and fragmentation mines. We don't understand why UN Human Right Council did not pay attention at those times when the LTTE is slowly and systematically killing innocent civilians?

LTTE killed two world leaders, invented the suicide jacket and have done the highest number of suicide attacks by a single terrorists group in the world and they recruited thousands of child soldiers. The UN Human Right Council never called for an investigation. Why was that?

LTTE killed fleeing civilians from the war zone. Where was the UN Human Rights Council at that time?

LTTE killed all the other Tamil political leaders (Eg. Mr. Kadirgamar - Foreign Minister, Mr. Amirthalingam - MP, Mr. Raviraj - MP and etc., etc) saying V. Prabhakaran should be the sole leader of the Sri Lankan Tamils. Where was the UN Human Right Council?

US air strikes killed 140 Afghan civilians; Why UN Human Right Council does not investigate about it?

LTTE had an annual income of more than one billion US dollars before Sri Lanka Government starting the humanitarian mission to rescue Tamils from clutches of the LTTE. I have been pointing out a dangerous fact to all foreign missions (Including CIA web information site) in Sri Lanka since 3 years ago, if the LTTE is allowed this income and the separate state, the LTTE would acquire nuclear weapons within next two decades. LTTE was probably managed to steal a container load of Uranium rich soil from Ranchi, India in December 2006 and transported it to a Uranium enriching facility in North Korea.

Let's see what happened to the politicians who backed the LTTE. Paul Martin, Viko, Jayalalitha defeated in elections failing to get the people's mandate as they helped the LTTE. There are over expenditure charges against Gordon Brown's Government, specially for its Foreign Secretary, David Miliband http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/news/288042/FOREIGN-Secretary-David-Miliband-is-to-waste-hundreds-of-thousands-of-pounds-on-a-private-jet.html

Are these politicians and officials who are backing LTTE, corrupt? Are they on LTTE's pay role?

How much LTTE supporters would spend on such a mission?

In Sri Lanka retired SL Army Maj. Gen. Janaka Perera was assassinated by an LTTE suicide cadre in October 2008. Investigations have revealed that LTTE has spent around 7 million Sri Lankan rupees (USD 60,000) for that assassination.

What had he done for the LTTE? He had done his duty properly to save Jaffna peninsula from falling to LTTE. This is the amount of money LTTE was ready to spend just to kill an unarmed politician if it happens to be against Sri Lanka Government it would be million of US dollars.

UN should take utmost care not to intervene in affairs of democratically elected Sri Lanka Government, by going behind supporters of world's most ruthless killing machine. Why Navi Pillay does not want to come and see the agony of people who came from LTTE controlled areas? She is only interested in the stories put forward by the pro LTTE web sites. Some newspapers say that there had been over 1,000 civilian deaths per day during last 20 days of the war (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/leading%20article/article6382706.ece)but the LTTE has not managed to send a single photograph of such a mass scale deaths? Why was that?

LTTE's political wing leader Nadesan and Pulideevan have even contacted foreign journalist Marie Colvin (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article)using video phones a few hours before their deaths on March 16, 2009 with smiling faces (according to the reporter).

Why could not they send a single photograph of mass deaths which should have happened within close proximity to their bunker? That was because there were no such deaths. All those mass casualty figures are fictions. LTTE is highly capable in fabricating stories. If UN can give real evidence then there is no point to do such inquiries spending millions of UN funds. The best thing is to start investigate firstly from the greatest ever known civilian slaughter by US in Hiroshima and Nagasaki by using Nuclear weapons.
