The attitude of Indian Government is not at all encouraging vis-a-vis Sri Lanka. Of late, India has become a fence sitter, neither it supports the Lankan Government nor the LTTE and its foreign policy is much to be desired. Given the India's attitude one cannot blame the actions of Lankan Government as every nation has a right to defend itself.
It is in our interest to try and settle this issue amicably to the benefit both the LTTE and the Lankan Government as we cannot allow a killing field and of course a Pak ally in our backyard.
Coming to LTTE, there is a dwindling support for its cause the world over and it can never hope to carve out an independent country out of SL. It should look for a face saver now and settle for an autonomous region within SL. If it does not, it is going to disappear simply from the screen in a couple of years as all major countries have started cracking down on the terror funding!!!
