What Would the Lord Buddha Say?
The armed forces of the racist Sri Lankan government regularly kill and torture women and children: This government is also a strategic ally of Amerika in the region:
Earlier this week, the Sri Lankan Air Force bombed a former orphanage inside rebel territory, where teenage girls were undergoing first-aid training. At least 19 girls were killed, according to truce monitors. “It was a L.T.T.E. training camp; this was firmly established before the bombing,” said Keheliya Rambukwella, the Sri Lankan Ministry of Defense spokesman. “The question of age of the cadre really doesn’t arise.”
The monitoring mission and the United Nations children’s agency said they had found no evidence of rebel installations there.

Also, the Therevada monks you see in the photo above, rallying AGAINST peace with the Tamils, are the largest contributors to the failure to bring a conclusion to the Lankan civil war. They put the lie to the notion that Buddhists are ALWAYS gentle and peace-loving.
