This American woman with Indian origin is having secret meetings with Tamil groups just because they have lot of things to hide. That means what they talk are not acceptable to civilized society. So, they have to hide from civilization and have secret dirty talks. These may very well be plans to destabilise Sri lanka like how they did to Iraq, Egypt, Syriya, Libya etc.
The issue here is that this US-Indian woman is a top political figure while the Tamil groups are just terrorism supporters and separatists. What talks can these two have unless they are really really dirty and stinky!
Agree with yur sentiments Manjula, but what can we, a nation led by war-crime alleged leaders and TRAC listed religious terrorists, do about it?
The road we are travelling leads to that bottomless pit. Our best friends, China, will vote with us but the support they give comes in the form of loans at double the market rates.
We are so desperately poor that we have offerred tax free status to an Australian second generation wealth grabber to build a concrete jungle in the vicinity of the long-time-ago lovely Beira lake.
I see no redemption. I see the Wahabists threat, the Catholic Church’s expansionism and separatist theology and the relentless pusuit of Ealam by the Tamil diaspora.
Our external affairs and diplomatic network are in the hands of court jesters.
Me, I sleep with open eyes, thinking of nothing but where the single meal for tomorrow is coming from.
Any thoughts, dear fellow bloggers ??
Is the glass half empty or half full?
All depends on the colour of the glasses you wear.
Some people only see the negative side of the things and the others only the positive side. Many Sri Lankans are very week in logical thinking without political colours.
Westerners make good use of our weaknesses.
Manjula, do you mean to say Shenali should change the colour (or rather, the tint) of her glasses?
I can mail her a pair of Ray Bans, if you like.
