On 1st Century Hitler ...

The "Rape of the Sabines" and the SriLankan Genocide

The Rape is supposed to have occurred in the early history of Rome, shortly after its foundation by Romulus and his mostly male followers. Seeking wives in order to found families, the Romans negotiated unsuccessfully with the Sabines, who populated the area. Fearing the emergence of a rival society, the Sabines refused to allow their women to marry the Romans; consequently, the Romans planned to abduct Sabine women. Romulus devised a festival of Neptune Equester and proclaimed the festival amongst Rome's neighbours. According to Livy, many people from Rome's neighbours attended, including from the Caeninenses, Crustumini, and Antemnates, and many of the Sabines. According to Livy, at the festival he gave a signal, at which the Romans grabbed the Sabine women and fought off the Sabine men. The indignant abductees were implored by Romulus to accept Roman husbands.

Livy is clear that no sexual assault took place. On the contrary, Romulus offered them free choice and promised civic and property rights to women. According to Livy he spoke to them each in person, "and pointed out to them that it was all owing to the pride of their parents in denying right of intermarriage to their neighbours. They would live in honourable wedlock, and share all their property and civil rights, and — dearest of all to human nature — would be the mothers of free men."

Mahinda rajpakse has gone many steps beyond. He has just committed a genocide of over 3 Lakhs of poor Tamils, who are his own citizens by deadly arms and chemical weapons as well. Courtesy, Indian and Taml Nadu Governments again for a short term poll agenda.

The Hitler of 21st Century must be clever in destroying documents! He needn't call for even one Litre of 'gasoline', when cornered and faced with a threat to his life, sooner or later. But he will face for sure.

Sabines were not prepared to return home and were atleast resettled with honour.
In SriLanka it's just a pleasure hunt for the demon - just for return to power, now that he has cleverly 'demolished' the minority!
