Thank you. That is very clear. The committee is welcome to advance that to the government.
I turn to my other guests. We were hearing--and I think Mr. Rae touched on this--that the government approach seemed to be to isolate it further and further. In fact the northeast area--and the little strip of land--they believed they were going to be able to completely crush. This has been clear in what I've been hearing and reading. They are trying to wipe out the rebels entirely.
Senator Kerry came out today and said that if the Sri Lankan government doesn't change, then its reputation in the global community will be tarnished. These are very serious points. I would like to know if it is the belief of the witnesses that we're seeing here an attempt to completely wipe out any resistance at all to the government.
