Tiger Ragnarök

So... this is Web 2.0.
As I understand it, I can give an account of what happens to me, moves me, attracts and disturbs me, right?

Hmm. Friday, May 22nd, 2009
Looked out of my window today and saw a formation of two tiny strange flying objects, too slow and far too noisy to be the usual suspects or UFOs. It could well have been Gyroflug Speed Canard sports flyers...

A strange construction with a roughly egg-shaped rump , canards at the front of it, and slightly arrow-shaped wings. Propeller at the back of it. I read this construction can't stall... Where's my digicam when I need it?

While researching the planes, I came across Burt Rutan and space ship one - it really exists! And I thought Niven, Pournelle and Flynn made it all up in their sci-fi book "Fallen Angels"! So it was kinda flying objects day until noon.
Later I find a lot of photos of - seemingly - the deceased V. Prabhakaran, head of the inglorious Tamil Tigers. Strange to see that charismatic terrorist dead. He liked to have the image of an indefeatable Hindu hero. Wonder what he'll be reborn as... Later found the interpol - International Police Organisation - warrant. Well, he reached his position as pro tem dictator of parts of Sri Lanka by murdering rivals who were less charismatic, less murderous, less terrorist. Now that he's dead, there's a chance that reasonable people step forward to represent Tamil interests. I do not underestimate the difficulty of balancing Tamil, Singhalese, Muslim and Burgher interests on Sri Lanka. There was a horrible heritage in 1949, but a lot less bloodshed than on the rest of the Indian subcontinent. There had been a British Colonial Policy of "divide et impera", and some S-L Government measures bordered open discrimination. But compared to the Pakistan/Indian catastrophe... with hundreds of millions of displaced people, and hundreds of thousands dead...
Reuniting the people will be very, very hard, that's for sure. But I understand there were not too many problems in the Batticola and Trincomalee Tamil populated regions in the last two years after the East rejoined Sri Lanka...
