So your solution is what Joan, ethnically cleanse the island like the Czechs did the Sudetenland?

As it turns out the Czech idea of "ethnic cleansing" was rather different from the German idea.  Just as the Sri Lankan idea is rather different from the LTTE idea.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

You also haven't come up with any support for your "seems likely;" in fact, as Sri Lanka has ejected all diplomats, press, AND humanitarian workers from third party nations because of a "hidden pro-Tiger agenda," it "seems likely" that they're batshit insane and will see the LTTE where it's not present, and so it's reasonable to suspect that they are treating Tamil civilians as Tigers until proven otherwise.

I don't think I need to come up with any support - you are the one claiming we can draw some pretty heavy conclusions from their ejection of the press. Do you have any support for that claim? Does their ejection of the press mean you can then make any accusation, and we should assume it to be true?
