"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."

Sri Lanka Rejects Tsunami Help

Even with thousands of deaths as a result from the recent tsunami, as well as the prospect of even further deaths as a result of disease, Sri Lanka has rejected the offer of Israel to send a 150 member mission that was to set up an emergency medical center in the country. Though Sri Lanka has accepted blankets and such from the Israeli Military, they are not willing to put aside anti-Israeli feelings for the good of their people, who are still in grave danger. What is so puzzling about this is the degree to which so much of the world dislikes and even hates Israel, to the point where they will reject much needed help from them.
