Sri Lanka: The Prosperous Island
First, I would like to thank Dominic for that nice article on Sri Lanka. I am a Sri Lankan national who is living and working in San Diego. Russell sounds like a typical Tamil Tiger terrorist supporter from the Sri Lankan ethnic group called "Tamil". In the late 1970's, the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka that comprise of just 12% of the total population created this ruthless terrorist group called the Tamil Tigers and started to wage war on the government to create a separate state in this small island. In the 30 years that followed, the Tamil terrorists killed thousands of civilians using suicide bombers. The Tamil diaspora spread across Europe and US funded the terrorist movement big time and thats how their killing machine continued. They were finally wiped out by a determined government in May of 2009. Currently there are many Tamil IDPs that were displaced by fighting and now the government is doing their level best to resettle them. Tamil separatists are bitter today. Don't listen to their "Travel Advisories". Not a single bullet was fired or single bomb exploded after May 2009. Every single terrorist is either killed or in detention. Sri Lanka is a great place to visit. People are very friendly and just like Dominic you will have a great time there. There is infrastructure there and excellent hotels to stay. The war only damaged the North and East but Tourism is in the other parts of the island where infratructure is intact.
