This is an editorial comment on the late terrorist-guerilla leader of the Tamil Tigers. Interesting is the insight that overseas Tamils (such as those in Canada) were the most enthusiastic backers of Prabhakaran. They were relatively comfortable, and could afford to indulge fantasies of revolutionary romanticism. Reminds me of Irish-Americans who foolishly idolize the IRA. The article gives interesting parallels and contrasts of Prabhakaran with Hitler, which are from an Asian viewpoint, and probably not agreeable to most Westerners who have a thorough knowledge of WWII history.

The Tamil Tigers are now saying that he is still alive. I hope the government can come up with his corpse to prove it is a lie.
