Is that a wagging Tiger Tail that is as "SriLanka"? Surely racist comments made by SriLanka points in that direction. There's NO genocide attempt by the Sri Lankan government or the Sri Lankan Army as that Tiger Tail has stated. Instead this is a humanitarian effort to free Tamil people from the clutches of ruthless terrorism brought about by an idiotic entity called the LTTE who knows nothing about diplomacy. If that unit is so altruistic as "SriLanka" (who I call tiger tail) has stated I am not sure why ALL sinhala, muslim families were evicted from rebel held areas while killing innocent tamils (their own as they say) who did not kneel down before the LTTE. I am sure the Sri Lankan governments have made errors in the past and the people have paid their dues for them. Now it's time for the nation to prosper as one nation under one flag where all Sinhala/Tamil/Muslim people will work together in peace. "SriLanka", it is ok if you are hurt because LTTE does not have a place in those peaceful times. We the Sri Lankans will reach out to even people like you gracefully who harbour terrorism if you are willing to lay down those extreme views. If not, we do not give a damn about you !
