LTTE has a genuine grievance or an imagined one, that's not the point. They are terrorists and that's the only thing that matters. No cause whatsoever will justigy their actions and they deserve the harshest treatment. If they want political freedom, how about some Gandhigiri?
Tamilnadu has several sympathisers of LTTE. Some TN politicians openly support the LTTE. These people are the problem. They have to condemn the LTTE as a terrorist organization. It is sad that we tolerate such people.
