The AO came yesterday and the majority of the presiding Judges announced that the declaration of independence was not legally wrong. Now the Serbs are angered and declare that they would never accept an independent Kosovo.
It is better that the GoSL take this matter seriously and genuinely to find out what happened in the last days of the war? than making statements like there was nothing wrong happened on victory day celebrations. If there was nothing wrong done, why are we scared to death? Are we trying to commit suicide because we are scared of death?

People like Banda would never accept any international authority other than what coming from GoSL.
One day we are going to act like the Fundamentalists and/or Jihadsts and call “the truth is given to us from GOD himself and we fight unto death to defend it”. The open question will then be who receive and communicate these Communiques of GOD to the general public, in our case the patriots? The President himself or his Brother or may be WW or Rambukawella or GLP? The present GoSL play the patriotic card in such a way that we isolate ourselves from any civilized community like the Taliban did it in Afghanistan or Il Jong Sung in Nord Korea.

He is trying to let outsiders to make decisions on Sri Lanka. American President Bush did not sign this treaty because of intrusion of outsiders in American affairs. On what basis Dr. Marasinghe is making this absurd suggestion except to legalize an otherwise illegal decision of the Secretary General, backed by LTTE sympathizers and the so called international community. If we can we should raise this issue at the UN General Assembly or the Security Council and force the Secretary General to withdraw his stupid action.
