Rani- What you need to understand is that the LTTE does not fight for any of these reasons. You need to ask yourself what are the true motives of the LTTE who have killed diplomatic moderate thamils who wanted to work out their grievances without weapons. It is a dangerous thing when you say " Does that mean, they shouldn't fight against discrimination.". This implies you do not live in Srilanka and hence do not suffer.
There is discrimination within the SL government. And if you interpreted my statement as against this I am sorry. What I wanted to convey is that the state does not as a whole sponser violence or hatred against Thamils. I do not want to whitewash the government, there are many areas where it lacks good governance. From instituting policies to accomodate Tamil language in government institutions to investigating abductions to removing nepotism.
Now to counter your arguments- 1) I disagree with the 90% employment. If you have evidence please provide. Almost 30% of thamils in colombo are new...maybe from the north-east or elsewhere. Why are the muslims in colombo doing very well? The war has a lot to do with peoples's perception and it perpetuates fear. 2) There is only one incident I can remember of when there was presidential orders to provide relief.. that also under the current president. Understand that this is only a statement that was reported, other times the presidents decrees go unreported...presidents say a lot...almost always for their main support
