I dunno, things have changed a bit since the 1970s and 80s, but the war has certainly exacerbated ethnic tensions quite a bit. I do think that the Sri Lankan government will at least make some overtures to the Tamil population. Whether or not it's enough is another matter.

It's hard for me to imagine there will be another Civil War anytime soon. The LTTE themselves pretty much ensured that by wiping out all of the rival Tamil militias on the island. Of course, their fund-raising and arms smuggling networks still exist, but have been damaged heavily.
