More LTTE Action

Just the other day, the LTTE assassinated (by suicide bombing) a senior Sri Lankan minister. The President, Mahinda Rajapaksa, today vowed to eradicate terrorism from the country in order to end the problems that the Tamil Tigers have been causing. I wonder how much action will actually follow this statement. Why now? Was this one minister that important? The LTTE have been killing since the mid 80s and are responsible for the deaths of more than 70,000 people. I think that this statement by the president is more bark than bite. I doubt that much more will be done by the Sri Lankan government against the LTTE. What do you guys think?
