this should explain to a certain extent. I know indian government can do more to help lankan government to fight LTTE. but what to do, sri lankan government is also not very clean and perfect. they opposed indian troops fighting against LTTE in 1980s and they asked indian troops to get out in 1990. and the very same people who opposed indian troops presence in sri lanka, they themselves wanted indian troops to come back when the conflict again started in 2005.

as far as covering their tracks goes, it should be asked to sri lanka. they were not able to detect a turbo prop aircraft also. so i guess it would be difficult to detect for them to detect their ships also.

You know, if you talk to Tamils, they seem to have a very good case against the Sri Lankan govt… Tamils seem to have some genuine grievances.. Many Tamil, even the well to do ones support the cause, if not the methods.
In Canada Tamils really feel harrassed by the tigers there.
On my part, I wish the Pakistan govt would stay neutral in all this… But NOT because India demands it, but because this is an internal matter for the Sri Lankans.
