Ah yes, the poor, helpless, innocent, sweet little Tamils who gave the world most of its suicide bombers and assasinated heads of state, and used child soldiers, and ethnically cleansed Muslims, put bombs on trains and plans and roadsides, extortion, torture, smuggling, credt card fraud.

You mean 'LTTE', not 'Tamils'. 

In language, that's the difference between accuracy and not.  In substance (i.e. the thoughts underlying), it's the difference between racist and not. 

Anyway, as usual, that's a very one-sided approach to the issue.  I would prefer a no-sided approach.
