Hi Confidential.Are you a singhalese.?
Thanks for the info.If you are, clean out these rats from your cupboard.
It will do you all good to turn around this country of ours into a better place for all to live in.Stop yelling at the Tamils.
We only want our freedom from a racist governement.we are not asking for monies,only our freedom to live in peace with difnity.we are not howling about missappropriation amongst us and stealing governments funds or Tsunami funds that have lined all you politicians pockets leaving the poor poorer.Especially in the villages in the south.
So join the people who are trying their best to put sense into this government that the right path to prosperity in our counrty is unity and strength.we cannot achieve 'unity'when there is disparity and descrimination levelled against all minorities in our country.wake up.
