But I disagree with you projecting the demise of the Tigers as the "death of a cause."<br /><br />Prabhakaran and his Tigers represented certain ideas. They were icons. But the idea of Eelam is larger than icons - it is a dream. Like Palestine, or Kashmir, or Tibet. Or even like Communist utopia. In Lenin's own words, a revolutionary movement is guided by its own more or less mysterious laws. And the objective conditions in Sri Lanka foster the development of a new organization, one that would've learnt from the mistakes of its predecessor, after a termporary period of lull. They say that the darkest hour is before the dawn. I think it is too early to write the obituary for the cause. <br /><br />http://karthikrm.wordpress.com/2009/05/30/is-eelam-over/<br /><br />(PS Yeah, I am the same Karthick who used to make absurbd arguments on TNP, Orkut)Karthick RMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843141160010228246noreply@blogger.com
