State of MR

Dear MR

It takes some serious guts to mention your name and talk of anything derogatory. Surely the fear of repercussions exists,especially in sightings of a white van or breathing ones last breath.

Despite all that, I must congratulate you on your second term. You emerged truly victorious in the most closely contested elections in my times, but the results proved that there was no match to your Goliath image that is incarcerated in the masses minds.

You should be credited for the air of peace thats surrounds this nation, that was deprived for decades. You stood steadfast despite all the backlash received home and away in rooting out terrorism from this country.

All is well, if this country is reconciling with all the races and mending fences- forgetting all the differences and stand united at all times. Full of praise, but Sri Lanka is heading towards rough seas again with its mishandling of foreign affairs. The recent events will trigger a rippling effect on the economy and people. In reaping the dividends of peace, one most not forget the jealousy that arises from other nations. This doesn't necessarily mean we had to lash out at all the missiles thats fired at Sri Lanka. You are quite aware of the ghosts of LTTE lingering in foreign lobbies, and its after effects victims shouldn't be the people of Sri Lanka. Imagine the loss of GSP = Billions of dollars lost in foreign exchange, closure of enterprises, unemployment, etc.

With your government blowing different trumpets, surely will not help this country and having puppets like Wimal Weerawansa -add icing to the cake. If we resent to closing the UN, then close down all affiliated agencies like ILO, WHO, UNICEF who have worked tirelessly when Sri Lanka was doomed. Further Sri Lanka should bring back its peace keeping troops from UN. Now how is that for a shot in ones own head.

When we talk of the US government, its no secret about a certain lobby that controls the Whitehouse. Obama is a different man now, not the change agent the US and world aspired for. Similarly , the UN stands as the puppets of certain lobbies, and Ban ki moon doesn't represent UN or the Security Councils views for obvious reasons. How about committees for the War in Iraq, Afghanistan or Israeil's merciless occupation? Hope this sends a fish stink in the UN's cauldron.

With all the wisdom you have in being the executive president, your decisions in the coming days will decide the destiny of this country. Your aspiration for a third term and siblings reign of power will have a torpedo effect in shaping Sri Lanka for the next decade.
