One more point is that Karuna, or the second in command of the LTTE, who was the commander of the eastern province, packed up terrorism in 2004 and became a democrat. Today, after five years he's in the cabinet and is the minister of national integration. He's now working with other Tamil parties to see what can be done. He more or less said this is dumb. They'll never have a separate state either. After so many years of fighting, he's now a democrat. That's the way it goes. I can see that happening.
