at 1970 tamils where isolated from the rest of the world as they dont have any means to communicate. even in 1980 tamils cant even communicate with there blood brothers in tamilnadu. this made prabhakaran himself to come to india to share the truth with world. but rajiv gandhi(congress) sent army men to kill prabhakaran. so LTTE was formed not to protect tamils but to protect the truth from getting outside srilanka state terrorism. any1 who can understand what i said will now know wat ltte done.

Tamil + Sinhala + Muslim = SRI LANKA

LTTE Terrorist are the problem, because they kill everybody, including Tamils.... There is only ONE Sri Lanka and that one shouldn't have TERRORISM!!!

I"m a Canadian and for me this is a civil war and HUMAN RIGHTS. get it through your heads. What the SL rep is saying is so foolish, spending amount and the information isn't accurate? why? he's put on the spot and not able to give proper information on his own country! The FIGHT IS HUMAN RIGHTS!. Only US might be supporting BUT WE ALL KNOW what, EVEN AMERICANS don't support their own soldiers being in war. As a CANADIAN, what the BBC interviewer atleast has done his HOMEWORK. Hats off!!!!

Bush plans to host an international summit to discuss ways to fix the world financial system but warned on Saturday against changes that threaten capitalism. Bush, meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso at Camp David, did not announce a date or site for the summit. But Sarkozy suggested it be held in the shadow of Wall Street before the end of November

It's against the BBC guidelines to describe a person or group as being terrorists. Bombers, Islamists, militants, etc, but never terrorist. They can only use the word if they are quoting someone else. Their guidelines or on their website.

[chatura123]

the BBC would never refer to them as terrorists.. and the BBC also calls it a "civil war". its not a civil war.. its just plain terrorism..

[manujasri]

i'm sure you are not a person living in sri lanka, more tamils have been killed by the LTTE than in '83, what happened in 83 was manipulated by a small amount of ppl,and no way reflects the views and actions of the sinhala ppl. over the past 20 years the sinhala ppl have shown an amazing amount of tolerance in the face of terrorist attrocities, the tigers have to and will be wiped out if there has to be any chance of peace in sri lanka, it's funny how this guy never refers to them as terrorists.
