It is the same srilankan govt that allowed the US soldiers to enter srilanka during the Tsunami. Atleast those were friendlies. Imagine the chinese setting bases 18 km from the indian shores.
LTTE is a terrorist org. No doubt they killed an indian PM. But there can surely be another way. The eelam is oppressed. I expected something better from an experienced hand like pranab

Funny. I thought eliminating Rajiv Gandhi was one of the more noble deeds of the LTTE. However, the killing of the civilians who were present with Rajiv Gandhi needs to be condemned. LTTE should have targeted Rajiv alone.

Why??? Was Rajiv Gandhi a terrorist???? I am commenting on this above rising any political party line. He was the only charismatic youth leader then. He learnt Politics during his first tenure as PM and when he has fully understood 'POLITICS', he heas eliminated. If he would alive today, INDIA could have already declared as DEVELOPED NATION. Mr. Fun Lover, don't make fun of a genuine great leader.

Rajiv Gandhi allowed his Congress party goons to indulge in massacre of Sikhs in North India in 1984. I think I have said enough.

Patrick. I accept your views. I'm an Indian Tamil. I cannot support LTTE, but the Srilankan Tamils oppressions should be addressed.
