      <![CDATA[Sri Lanka is a rich cultural melting pot, MIA has never mentioned in her interviews anything about the positive side of Sri Lanka's diverse past...due to colonialism the Portuguese,Dutch,English and other European countries all been to Sri Lanka...sinhalese and tamils are so diverse..it was was the english who in th first place brought the small tamil population from the southern part of India "Tamil Nadu"..years on it is the Tamil Tigers(LTTE terroist group) who want to divide Sri Lanka all that ignorant people such as MIA do is stirr up more political problems for Sri Lankans all over the world...if MIA actually talked about something positive, for example the fact that Sri lankans are united, even through civil war, in Sri Lanka (sinhalese/tamils/buddhists/catholics/christians/muslims all live & work together on that tiny island together) sri lanka has so much beauty in its rich artistic history due to all the different ethnicities which have been there...every country has political struggles, the middle east is far worse off than Sri Lanka...or in Australia, the indigenous aboriginal tribal communities have been ruined due to Europeans interference...right now if u read the current sri lakan news the country has worked hard to finally reach peace, but off course this is not good enough for MIA ,she just a one-sided, narrow minded brat who just makes noise always about the bad, plus if she really wants to help Sri lankans instead of complianing so much she needs to actually go to Sri lanka and help the people, there is no good in her jus shouting about some comments in a newspaper..she is a classic attention seeker making noise to get more popular..she is bad representation for the Sri Lankan people..it is mostly westerners who support her because they know little abt the true struggles of the sri lankan people/history...In regards to her music, she always samples and rips off other artists, for example tht song paper planes is only a catchy tune because she took the music from the song "Straight to Hell" by the Clash..i have no respect for wannabe artists tht get credit from other artist's genuine talents...originality in the arts is soo rare these day its very diappointing :(<br>

      <![CDATA[You are completely wrong in this article. The government did not kill 100,000 both sides, including the Tamil Tigers, which MIA's father workers as an explosives expert for, was also responsible for the deaths of 100,000 odd people since 1976.

      <![CDATA[Hey Zach, I acknowledge that I dropped the ball in terms of not supporting her more firmly there. And you're right that it's not her job to remain levelheaded about topics like this, but given how apparent it is that she wants to be the type of person who can affect change through means other than her music, I guess I just see the constant all-caps screaming as potentially counter-productive.

      <![CDATA[Mike, I think you're crazy for this one--like you say, how is it her problem to be the responsible voice here? Why does she need to be the one expressing reasoned dissent to what was a pretty intensely irresponsible look by the Times?
