Life: Sri Lanka Ministry of Defence Web Site

I don't like to put down my ideas about the ongoing ethnic crisis in Sri Lanka but recently there has been a lot of propaganda carried out by the LTTE (the rebel tamil tigers if you didn't already know that).
The Ministry of defence of Sri Lanka has created a new website to counter the false claims made through tamilnet. Dinesh has forwarded a mail asking us to put links to the new MOD website. I created a new icon to put in mine so it wouldn't spoil the looks.



I've uploaded it to image shak. You can find it here.
You can add a link to the MOD SL by inserting the following HTML in the appropriate location (should be between the "" tags):

Depends on how you look at their activities. Answers.com has given the meaning of the word "rebel" as follows:
re·bel (rĭ-bĕl') pronunciation
intr.v., -belled, -bel·ling, -bels.

1. To refuse allegiance to and oppose by force an established government or ruling authority.
2. To resist or defy an authority or a generally accepted convention.
3. To feel or express strong unwillingness or repugnance: She rebelled at the unwelcome suggestion.

which I think matches with their actions.
As I've said, I don't mean to go into details about my feelings toward the LTTE because most of my friends and students at my university are aware of them and I don't intend to bring my anti-terrorist ideas into this blog.
I'll keep the wording of my original post for the moment.
Please note that I'm against any form of terrorism and violence.
