#2 Aren't tamils tigers hinduists who used(?)to receive support from China & Pakistan (funny, considering their fondness of suicide bombers), while others tamils factions (marxists) AND regular army (loyal to the buddhist gvt) were supported by India. could someone knowledgable, rg117 or other, please shed some light on this weird order of alliances?

#3 Must be the Chillies. Tamils eat really hot food, may be it fried their brains.

Seriously though, in the beginning the LTTE was supported by India, in fact it was a creation of RAW (Indian Intellifence Agency). There is a still of a lot of support for LTTE amongst the Tamil population in India.
India sent peacekeepers during the last ceasefire but when the LTTE broke the truce a few thousand Indian troops were killed. As you can imagine, they don't get on too well since then. A few years later one of their black tigers (she was one ugly bitch) assasinated Rajiv Gandhi a former PM of India. They really know how to piss of people.
