No matter the Presidential election held by him and his thugs had been corrupted

No matter Tsunami funds of the poor were openly abused

No matter youth of poor people be tamils or sinhala were killed by them

No matter MR co. continues his powers appointing his and their henchmen.

No matter Silva under MR regime played all abused games on public costs

People of the blind nation should further respect – this megalomaniac leader. MR

Dear Readers,
once upon a time, this forum was neutral. Today this seems to be more or less influenced by MR govt. So, I wondered why none of the writers have brought any sorta of article asking the situation prevailing in the country today. Even to a 10 year old of the nation, it is clear that putting SF in Jail is a political revenge by Gotta who is remot controlling MR being aside. However, there is no room for the democracy in sl today. I wonder if SF is to be jailed, what will be the punishments before MR, GR and all other perpetrators who killed tamil civilians in the name of elimination of LTTE terror from the country.

Shame on lankens – be you muslim, sinhala, tamil or burgher, we cant be proud as SRILANKENS today – thanks go to Rajapakses.

Wijayapala,

“i hope tamils move elsewhere and find peace that they so richly deserve.”
Wouldn’t that spell victory for the Sinhala racists?

It is a bigger victory for Tamils. This is the sad reality. We cannot build our lives around defeating Sinhala racists. We have to start living and achieving. Opportunities in Sri Lanka being so limited and the country becoming fast unlivable to free-thinking Tamils, it is better to leave Sri Lanka, not for any counttry but for a developed country.

If Sri Lanka cannot retain Tamils – who can prosper anywhere in the world – who will lose ultimately?

It is not in punishment but for the betterment of the Tamil community. Anyway most Tamil educated youngsters have already made up their mind. Good on them to leave this hate mongering political system behind.

Dear PresiDunce

“I only disagree with the part about an election being held in 2016.”

Why would Mahinda pass up an election where his main opponent (Ranil W.) is unelectable?

Please remember to get in that ship. Your thought are more dangerous and you need proper rehabilitation. Only Mahinda and Sri Lanka can give you this. They will do a humanitarian operation on you followed by rehabilitation in a camp. Free transport will be given in white van. Free copies of Ma Hin Da Chindanaya will be given to you. Please take some ropes in case they run out of them. Choose a good tree and plead to them in writing that you should be tied to a tree. After that you can reapply and come back and talk to AFP. In the mean time keep the LIEon flag flying high like a true Sin Ha Lease.

Pres Bean:

Interesting remarks. If I might add my own 2 cents:

I agree 99% percent with what you have said. I only disagree with the part about an election being held in 2016.

Election fraud is easy when MR personally appoints the election commissioner. So of course, the outcome of any such election is a foregone conclusion. One must speculate as to why such an election is even held… probably to appease the Westerners so that “aid” money continues flowing into the begging bowl.

I will bet my last â€˜Humanitarian’ rupee that there will not be an election held in 2016. If you have read “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” by William L. Shirer, you will know that MR is doing exactly what AH did in Germany. The only difference between AHs 1000 year Third Reich and MRs 2500 year old Family Reich is that AH went for a â€˜One Man Show,’ while MR is going for a “Family Of 300 Plus Show!”

At least the Germans were efficient. While a few in the Reich hierarchy indulged in luxury, e.g. Goering, Hitler himself did not.

I’m looking forward to MRs next move. Lebensraum. (looking for living space for his family). When MR starts to invade Tamil Nadu, The Maldives, and the whole of India with China, Myanmar, Libya, Iran, North Korea and Zimbabwe as his allies.

Again, it is a question of efficiency. If you need the Chinese just to build a bridge or a road, its highly unlikely your military poses a threat to anyone outside of your nation. I think MR will continue to *invade* public taxpayer money… the next big move is to bring the Colombo Municipal Council under the Defense Ministry. I will let you work out the kickbacks and commissions coming from that.

I am delighted that the dreaded Tigers have been crushed. Now I am really sad that the people have created a sinhala Tiger in MR. Surely our country deserves better.

Dictatorships never work . What constrains a politician of today are his prospects for reelection. Once those constraints are removed, the notion of accountability becomes meaningless. Meaningless in the sense that there is no legal mechanism which can remove him from power. If criticism, for example, is meant to induce change, but that inducement is not backed by any force, then the criticism itself is futile – the equivalent of talking to a wall. In fact, that is what Rajapakse is doing – he is building wall after wall to protect himself. Everyday a new all is added. Inside the walls is King Rajapakse. Outside the walls are the Constitution, Supreme Court, and yes, the average person.

Let’s wait for the speech from the UN from the great President and his Team of 180 delegates (the highest ever) who are in the US. It must be some comfort to the ordinary people of Sri Lanka that they are enjoying the comforts they richly deserve on 4 Floors of the Waldorf Astoria costing some 140 million Rs. Colomboans may think differently. The country is booming, of course.

In my opinion, what Kusal and Hela said, what the war brought to us are all relevent in finding a base to build a solution. We know now international meddleing won’t stop, espeacially in Srilanka, that why have to face them by building trust between communities. No point panicking about the country breaking up before it’s breaking. Even if it has disintegrated we can build a united nation from the scratch if stand together.
