european union bans ltte

council of ministers of the eu decided to list ltte as a banned terrorist organization about an hour ago.
about time.
not that it will change much.
for all those who had eyes it was clear ltte wanted to provoke a war this year from end of last year. ltte's claim just before the ban that it will have no option but to go to war if they were banned was merely a pathetic blackmail attempt .

as usual paikiasothy saravanamuttu,of centre for policy alternatives seem to have bought ltte line. he is quoted by reuters 'i can't see any way out of ... moving towards large-scale hostilities.' he is wrong. ltte, now as before, have two clear options; restart peace talks or go for full scale war with complete responsibility for it.
