Government officials blamed both attacks on the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the most radical of the insurgent factions fighting to establish an independent state in the northern and eastern parts of the country. The two bombings suggest that the militant Tamil insurgents are willing to bring the fighting to the capital, a significant escalation of the bitter three-year civil war in which more than 3,000 people have been killed. "These attacks," said an official of the National Security Ministry on TV following the second bombing, "indicate the group is no longer interested in a peaceful settlement...
...paternalistic stooges," I ask: who said that to whom? I, a supporter of divestment, have never said such a thing. I know many people who hold the same position as I do, and have heard many conversations and arguments on this issue without any name calling such as you suggested.

The biggest difference is technological. Only one of the 100 reactors currently licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to operate commercially in the U.S. is graphite moderated like the one at Chernobyl, and it is cooled by gas rather than water, which makes it substantially safer. One of five reactors operated...
