...Japanese-made home entertainment system in its basic form costs around $80, with an option to buy extra features, such as a turbo joystick, phaser gun for shooting games, and get this, a "power pad"--a device which players stand upon and simulate running for track and field games...
...Larew supports his condescending and morally loaded premise with distortions of the truth. If he looks carefully at the poster to which he refers (I have a copy if he would like a second look) he will notice that the soldier in question still has the strap of his gun around his neck.

In many areas, citizens were forced to abandon their homes, creating a stream of tens of thousands...

The government said that shortly after Wijeweera had been captured and had led security forces to the group's headquarters, a J.V.P. official tried to gun down his leader. Government forces then supposedly started shooting, and both Wijeweera and his would-be assassin died in the fire fight. The third J.V.P. leader was shot in a separate incident. Skeptics suspected that the security forces simply murdered the rebel leaders, who had led a two-year terror campaign against the government's decision to admit Indian military forces...
