#1 I've looked at the area several times on Google Earth. About a third of the area is swampland, with very few high spots. There is a lot of jungle, which is the hardest terrain in the world to fight through. There's a pretty good-sized reservoir in the area the Tamils still hold sway over, but I can't see how that's going to help them save themselves. This will only turn the remainint Tamil civilians more against them, since they're the ones that will suffer the most from the flooding.
