Yes, the west did pull a fuss during the latter part of the war. I think that had more to do with politicians in western countries having to respond to demands by the some of their local constituents, who were coincidentally Tamil expatriates. Since politics all over world work as acts of collective back scratching, pressures from local principalities hand some short term foreign policy consequences. In the long run the west is happy to see the end of the LTTE, because of its connection with other terrorist groups. I also think that the west doesn't hate sri lanka like it hates Iran, Venezuela or North Korea. This is because Sri Lanka is not an important actor in the world stage. We have nothing to threaten them with. Infact, we even have very little to offer outside of our intelligentsia. So No they don't hate us.</blockquote>
