You laugh, but Southerners and Tamils are the largest national groups to be denied autonomy. They deserve a country as much as we do.

Kurds, Tibetans, Uigurs ?
There are 60 million Tamils if you count those living in India IIRC

Which makes them the 4th or 5th largest minority in india?
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

You know, valmy, I believe in individual liberties and the sanctity of sovereign states over an overbearing central government.

But there will always be a central government, whether it is in Delhi or Washington or Nashville.  The question is to what extent that government protects individual rights.

QuoteAs democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Would it make sense to include them?
