language

"We are in a state of readiness and are awaiting for the instruction from our leadership to respond with a force that will be catastrophically disabling and devastating to the enemy," said Mr.S.Elilan, Trincomalee district political head of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam commenting on the current situation in Muttur east, sources said"- source Tamilnet.com

This is the kind of language flying around Sri Lanka these days. With over 40,000 Tamils fleeing Trincomalee district, with both sides upping the rhetoric and literally teetering on the brink of war, with nearly all INGOs pulling out of the Trincomalee district, this kind of language ensures that the stove is always set to burn.
