Are the west's morals self defeating?

[HoreTore]

Is it because it was Tamils who lost their vote , lost their right to equal education , lost their political representation and had their language banned ?

No. The LTTE have consistently hunted down and killed every opposing Tamil faction. The Sri Lankan government made things hard as hell, but if LTTE hadn't gone about killing everyone, then there would've been other factions, although it's unlikely that any of them would've been as big as the tigers, of course.

Despicable yes , but no more despicable than the sri lankan government , one slight difference though , when the government made even non violent political campaigning illegal for the tamils it closed the door on anything but violence from the tamils whereas the Sinhalese use violence even though the constitution allows them to campaign peacefully . So really in that sense the government is far more despicable than the terrorists .

I never said I didn't want to see the Sri Lankan government whacked and replaced too....
