Sri Lanka on brink of civil war

They're just trying to be like Iraq.

A woman disguised to look pregnant set off a suicide bomb in a military headquarters that killed at least eight people and badly wounded many others, including the country's highest-ranking general.

That just reinforces my distrust for pregnant women. (It's a personal problem)

In retaliation, the military launched air and artillery strikes against Tamil rebel targets in Trincomalee, northeast of the capital Colombo. There was no word on casualties.

And so goes the circle of life. Suicide bomb, airstrike, suicide bomb, airstrike. It's what makes the world go down.
