I'm not sure there's a big difference except that one side uses one word and nobody else wants to use it.
The issue was that the government saw a “ceasefire” as a chance for the LTTE to re-arm and re-equip. A humanitarian pause was all around the issue of what's happening to the civilians, and if our primary issue is civilians, that's what we're into.
On your question on self-determination, I'm not aware that even in the long-running ceasefire for six years, brokered by the Norwegians, there was ever any offer on the table for self-determination. I think what happened was there was a gentlemen's agreement that neither side was going to move forward and do anything to upset the apple cart. So in fact it was a self-determination issue at that point. But I don't think there was ever anything in writing on that. Somebody could prove me wrong on that one.
