The government has overwhelming public support for its war against the LTTE, and most people believe the rebels will soon be defeated, an opinion poll published today (Dec. 10) shows.
The privately run research group TNS Lanka said close to 75 percent of people questioned said they are "firmly in favour of military action, seeing it as the only route to wipe out terrorism." More than half the respondents also believed the war will be over by the end of next year. Some 91 percent of those polled did not believe the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) represented the minority ethnic Tamil community.
The group had questioned 500 people living outside the northern conflict zone between October and November.
