The many journalists who wrote about the conflict

noted that the U.S. President, George Bush, knew

about it and let it all happen. From the journalists

points of view, the world looked on without aiding.

Other countries should get involved to end the

discrimination of the Tamils and create an equal

government for Sri Lanka.

This is an ethnic conflict/cleansing that doesn't have an easy

path to resolution. The world didn't take much action to

intervene during the crisis and help solve the dispute.

In order for the conflict to subside, the two groups must

see each other as equal and that

not an idea you can force into a person/ethnicity group.
