#1 India is the elephant in this room. It would love to add Sri Lanka to its portfolio. And, this might provide an excuse. There are a lot more Tamils in India than Sri Lanka. India allowed the Tigers because they destabilized Sri Lanka. Now that they have a "homeland", it's probably another matter. Look for Tiger troubles on the mainland unless India manages to kill this deal.

#2 They thought they were pretty ducky until they bumped off Rajiv. They haven't been that hot on them since.

#3 "Singhalese are Buddhists, y'know. And the Tamils are Hindus and Muslims"
