Chronicle of a death foretold (from The Economist)

The story Lasantha Wickrematunge assassination, a Sri Lankan newspaper editor, is a very moving example of the paradoxes of internal war: the fight for freedom is won through the constraint of freedoms. I consider this to be a crucial question for human security: what to do with the military muscle that is generated to confront an internal threat, once this is decimated? The question gains on relevance when you realize the muscle frames the society with an only option to work out problems.

My sincere condolences,
