 == Some points regarding the LTTE == 

 This article is slowly moving toward being more balanced and useful. As the view of LTTE is very mixed, (terrorists for some - freedomfighters for others) it is obviously not easy. It seems though that the heat is down a bit. One should also be aware of that the article is about the LTTE. That means it is right to write about such as the organisation is struggling for ""Tamil Eelam"" - even though there for a variety of reasons never will be a separate tamil state on Sri Lanka. 

 One should also bear in mind that the LTTE has some level of support among tamils, both from love and fear. That means that quite many tamils, even those despising the LTTE see it as useful counterweight against the sinhalese south. It may be useful to have the IRA in mind when reading and writing about this conflict - an organisation that went from being banned to getting more and more involved in solving the conflict by peaceful means. And it may be useful to think of how that came about - quite a bit by the ever closer cooperation between the EU countries, where the UK and Ireland are both members. 

 Last but not least, would be good if those who add or change information here would at least fill in something about what they have done, possibly also adding a note about it on this talkpage. When there are changes that are only related to an IP address it is not easy to judge the value of what has been done.  "
