Api asarana wela wage sithata denanawa buduhamuduruwane
පිහිටක් නැති සරණක් නැති
සතුටක් ඇති මුහුණක් නැති
මේ සසර දනව්වේ....
අපි අසරණ වෙලා වගේ
හිතට දැනෙනවා.....බුදු හාමුදුරුවනේ.....

President Mahinda Rajapakse. 66th United Nations General Assembly 23.09.2011
President Rajapaksa is competent and experienced to address the world body, United Nations General Assembly on terror and peace as the leader who successfully eradicated the menace of terror that engulfed Sri Lanka for over three decades, in a short span of three years when the world was watching in disbelief the winning of the war which they claimed to be unwinnable. There are many other mighty and small nations who have become victims of terror including the USA, Britain, France, Iraq, Afghanistan and many other nations. But Sri Lanka was attacked by the most powerful and feared terrorist organization which has tentacles worldwide. Though it is completely eradicated on the ground in Sri Lanka the front organizations worldwide are active and the network is functioning with enormous sums accumulated and with the help of the misguided diaspora.

Doe eens normaal man - Doe eens zelf normaal man
Dutch parliament get intensed on several topics: Euro crisis due to Greekland credit crisis, budget cuts, immigration and integration and anti-Islamic wind in Europe. The dialogue between Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte (VVD political party) and his Coalition Partner Mr. Geert Wilders (PVV)got clashed on Thursday (22 Sep 2011) after PM Rutte had complained Mr. Wilders that PVV part member Mr. Raymond de Roon has called Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan a "Islamic monkey". Rutte in the most vivid terms condemned and took distance from that statement, but Wilders denied that Wilders had said so. When Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte asked for explanation from his coalition party leader Geert Wilders on his comment 'Islamic monkey' refering to Turkish Prime Minister, Geert Wilders said to Dutch prime minister "Doe eens normaal man" (do once normal, man). The back and forth argument showed how street language have become common in the parliament. Dutch people are disappointed about current trend of language use in the parliament. Some argue that it is a sign of democratisation while some people argues that it is the corruption of morality in the society. The consequence to PVV party aftermath of his comment to the Dutch prime minister has lost his party popularity.

"The purpose of today’s event is to officially release the report that has been compiled by the Ministry of Defence on the Humanitarian Operation. The purpose of this report is to set out the factual background and operational context, which brought peace to Sri Lanka by liberating our people from the brutal terrorism of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the LTTE, in May 2009.
The report begins with a detailed analysis of the LTTE, including its true nature and its growth and sophistication over the years and the threat it posed to all Sri Lankans. The LTTE was a vicious terrorist group that suppressed democracy in the areas it dominated, killed all its rivals and assassinated moderate Tamil politicians and intellectuals and spread terror throughout Sri Lanka with its many attacks on innocent civilians. Raising funds through its international criminal network, the LTTE not only had the ability to use semi-conventional tactics on land, but also acquired sea and air dimensions to strengthen its offensive capability.

"This film contains very disturbing images" thats how Channel-4 journailst Jon Snow begins the dramatic opening of documentary "Sri Lanka's Killing Fields ". Jon Snow presents a poor forensic investigation based on "staged war situations" and biased evidences into the final weeks of three decades of war between Government of Sri Lanka and most ruthless terrorist organization LTTE. Sri Lanka's Killing Fileds (First Broadcasted on Tueday 14th June 2011by Channel4: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/sri-lankas-killing-fields/episode-guide/series-1/episode-1) a doctored footage and deliberate lies are presented as authentic. Numbers are pulled from thin air and presented as facts. Sources are not mentioned faces are hidden, voices are distorted just like the truth unmensioned, hidden and distorted. The very title itself represents outlandish and cynical attempt to revoke memories of Cameroush. Channel-4 does not claim ownership of any footage, facts or figures, faces or names; yet to an uninformed audiance (high ranking officials of United Nations http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_p1TfTguW0 ) C4' Sri Lanka's Killing Fields" appeared to be a great story. It is said that the trust of the innocents is the liars most useful tool. Thats what Channel-4 production begs in its reveal.
