Unity in Sri Lanka

It is generally believed that Sri Lanka will not progress in the right direction, even if the armed separatist fighters were defeated, if the prevalent system of governance is not overhauled top to bottom and right to left.
Also, according to an article I read today, it is felt that large sections of the Tamil population, though not in love with the LTTE and its malevolence, are gravely concerned their security as a people will be compromised in the absence of the LTTE as a strong entity.

Read the following interesting comment today on the Web:
"Sinhalese think that the entire country -- Sri Lanka -- belongs to all communities including them. But Tamils seem to think that the Northern and Eastern provinces belong only to them. So Tamils also should now think that entire Sri Lanka belongs to them.No community should enjoy any special previlages in any part of the country."
