Mahinda definitely had the idea of wiping out the LTTE, now there was a situation that the people who controlled the whole eastern parts were no longer with LTTE, so suddenly govt. had 2 choices:1. Fight them offIf govt. chooses to fight them off that would definitely be a enough of a cause for them to reconsider joining back with Praba sooner or later becuase they would be the 1st to get killed anyway!2. Buy them offIf govt. can buy them off using their greed for power, there are more advantages there..<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Now you dont have to fight to control eastern province</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Intelligence needed to push through for LTTE areas gained</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Saves lives of your soldiers</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A slap in Praba's face and also to LTTE's moral as a whole</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Saves money</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Saves Time</li> </ul>So if we had gone the conventional way to punish them, yes we would have done it... but at a huge COST, both in terms of lives and money!! and it has to be said that govt. had to consider that they had limited time at hand before the next election <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
