End of LTTE?

There is hope in this world:

And there is hope for Sri Lanka. 26 long years of terror. It is much, much, much too early to say that LTTE has been eliminated: their strength was always the capacity to draw funds from their diaspora. They have been the most successful terrorist group in modern history. The way the Sri Lankan government ended their run--but, really, have they?--was violent and unapologetic. If economic and political justice isn't delivered to the Tamils in Sri Lanka, LTTE will revive itself. There will be smaller groups, ever smaller cells, operating on their own terms.

I think the season is for un-hope in Sri Lanka: to do the necessary, but to refuse to live in the hope that all has become well.
