Again, l refuse to accept that Tamil Tigers are separatists group fighting for political and economic freedom of their people. In my view, Tamil Tigers are clandestine group fighting a rational cause in a very irrational manner. It is morally wrong to fight a just cause by unjust means. To what extent can we say that Tamil Tigers have changed the condition of the people they claimed to represent? What is the wisdom in fighting a self-defeating war? The death toll of innocent civilian citizens is completely unacceptable. Tamil Tigers seems to comprise people that detaste dialogue as a veritable means of conflict resolution. Their inablity to use diplomacy and amicable solutions to make their government concede political change seems morally foolish. To say that Tamil Tigers age-long terror against the sates is otherwise freedom fighting is rather too padestrian and it is only those who have failed to understand the problem of terror violence in modern society could see the activities of Tamil Tigers since 1978 or so as a fight against oppressive government in Sri Lanka. We should tell ourselves the home truth. I disagree with the view that terror violence in Sri Lanka by Tamil Tigers is fight against oppressive government.

I have always believed they were part of a campaign against a dominant racial grouping in power in Sri Lanka, but the West regards them as a terrorist group opposing the government there in Sri Lanka. It would take a concerted publicity campaign to get their point across to the so-called free world. Might look at it, research and post in my Huttriver8 Blog sometime. http://huttriver8.blogspot.com Cheers, Peter I support your questioning of the term terrorist in relation to the Tamil Tigers.
