The United States Government has performed missile attacks (via drone) on a hospital, several weddings (At least eight, according to a 2 second search), and at least one Mosque. And yet the Military arm of the United States Government is not considered to be a terrorist organization. Sounds like a double standard to me.
While the distinctions don't matter to dead people or their surviving loved ones, they do within the oxymoron "military justice."

Please don’t try to spread misinformation.
we never threw people off buildings. we never stoned people to death. we never drowned people in cages or beheaded.
We fought with uniforms, we tried to follow the geneva convention as much as we could being a seperatist group. we had the support of the people, in fact, we were the people. Much like the kurds in Syria/Iraq.
obviously there were collateral damage and there were some nasty incidences. Even the US with the technical capability and all the surveillence technology cannot avoid collateral damage, bombing of red cross hospital or abuses of Abu Ghiraib.
The fight for independence is not over for us.
As we know, we can have two or more drivers in truck, but only if 1) driving wheel is still single, 2) drivers are swapping each other at regular intervals, 3) they all share the goal, a final destination.
You guys literally invented the suicide bomb.
Everyone deserves to have a second chance, and war is hell and crazy things happen. So I hope you live a decent life from now on.
But don't for a second claim that LTTE weren't a bunch of brutal thugs who forced non combatants into war, brainwashed kids and girls and themselves gleefully committed all manner of war crimes to achieve their objectives. And for what, Prabhakaran himself turned out to be a run of the mill dictator who exploited the people around him to glorify himself.
As a total outsider, I will refrain from making any judgements on any side of the Tamil separatist divide. However, this statement is a pretty direct representation of the human and reputational cost of powerful countries in general, and of Western democracies specifically, providing a poor example on the world stage.
Expect more of this.
In each of these attacks the civilians were the target, not unavoidable collateral damage.
Your false equivalencies are disgusting.
The "as much as we could" weasel words doesn't make this the most reassuring of statements.
