Well Husky that's all fine but what about the anti Tamil discrimination, like for example the anti Tamil riots in Colombo in 1983 or the burning down of Jaffna library, a lot of Tamils still resent that, the one's I talked to are xtian Tamils but I still see a picture on the walls of many Hindu Tamil stores here of some war memorial thing (persumably to commemorate the LTTE cadres that died), if we want to take out the LTTE then we have to take responsibility to protect Tamils after we do that from Sinhalese atrocities (which may come as retribution), also we have Muslim jihadis springing up in Srilanka now due to Paki involvement (obviously there is a lot of hate between Tamils and Muslims due to past conflicts including the expulsion of Muslims from Jaffna by LTTE), let's face it, if we want LTTE out then we have to be prepared to get involved full scale, if we don't want to get involved then we might as well use LTTE against Paki enroachment (if not then we will have ISI infested countries on all sides of our borders), they targeted that Paki ambassador for just a few days ago, so far we have been watching passively issueing condemnations here and there, I don't see us doing anything to prevent ISI from getting a foothold in Lanka.
