We may not be able to do much – but do remember Chandra Jayaratne's very successful holding hands campaigns and subsequently lighting of a lamp outside homes – I don't think shouting slogans is going to do the trick becasue that also gives some people licenses to use violence all over again. But a peaceful demonstration of some sort or a deomonstration of solidarity would be a start. We need a leader however – maybe not one, but a group even who can take the initiative forward. I'm willing to give my resources, whatever they may be. Is there anyone who will join me?
this senseless killing in the name of 'peace' must stop – whether it's Lasantha who was considered a thorn in the side of many (many ruling governments prior to this too sit up and take note) , imprisoning journalists who are doing their job under a dubious PTA , abudction of people on the wrong side of the fence, conveniently getting rid of anyone who is considered an opposition or whether it's the faceless nameless people in the war torn areas of Sri Lanka – Sri Lanka is fast losing her good people – and I dread to think what we'll be left with!

Wish we could get into the minds of those who did this unspeakably brutal crime. What do they gain by it? If it is the Government — this is a stupid thing to do after we laid down so many lives to fight terrorism at a time when we were looking forward to be free of terror. If it is the opposition they are even more stupid. If there is a terror group trained to kill with impunity, who is their sponsor? We need a lot of answers.
