#1 Reopening the road to Jaffna is huge, the SL army is really pouring it on. Now, to mop up the remaining areas that the rebels hold territory, and hopefully begin democracy and reconciliation programs in the siezed territory.

#3 Supposedly the population is being held hostage by the rebels...mistreating them will just enable a guerrilla campaign.

#4 While it was "fun" at first, the majority of the Tamils in Sri Lanka today just want to get on with living and don't much care for the LTTE. Freeing them from that yoke of tyranny would be a good thing. Reinstituting the rule of law and democratic behavior would be well-received by everyone but the militants, who won't be pleased with anything but a unilateral victory. Screw them.
