A view of Sri Lanka by a non Sri Lankan

By Jerald Owens:

I am an American from the midwest and am a leading member of the
US Republican party's mid west chapter.
Sri Lanka has always been a paradise for me and my wife. When we
visit Sri Lanka we are always astonished at the simple
uncomplicated way of life in Sri Lanka. A country trying to survive
like a small ship in a storm. A country that has such a civilized
and a poetic past, scenery and unsophisticated natural beauty that
we silently weep when we hear of the brutal murders carried out by
the nazi type but uneducated, uncivilized, selfish band of thugs in
hiding in Wanni, that has brought terror and fear to every peace
loving man, woman and child in this little paradise.After
associating with Sri Lankans in US as well as in Sri Lanka I have
gotten used to enjoying your spicy food. So whereever we travel we
look for spicy food. Even though I live in the US I visit Canada
quite regularly.

I travel quite often to Toronto and was very surprised to notice
the Tamil terrorist operated restaurants, supermarkets, moviehouses
and numerous strip mall type businesses openly advertising support
for the LTTE or Tamil Ellam as they are called.

In fact on one my trip to Toronto, a Sri Lankan friend of mine
and his wife (a Sinhalese couple who are now US
citizens) took me to a very busy Tamil take-a-way. They first tried
to talk to him in Tamil and when my friend did not answer (because
he does't even speak Sinhala) they refused to serve him. Finally I
had to make the order.

Spineless, gutless, Liberals (and *s and *s too) tend to
tolerate these terrorists for their political gain.
So the Liberals in Canada allowed them a free reign. In the USA
President Bush's policies and his successive foreign secretaries
have brought considerable pressure on Canada, Mexico, Australia,
New Zealand and Western Europe to ban LTTE bacause we in the US
know who these criminals are.

In fact Norway is slowly but steadily bowing down to US pressure
because we in the US have a president who does what he beleives and
who believes in what he does. We also know that the LTTE does not
represent the Tamil population in Sri Lanka. The banning of LTTE
and its affiliated fund raisers are just the beginning and is the
tip of the iceberg. It is the shape of things to come.

We are also aware of Mr. Jayantha Gnanakone and his group of
terrorist henchman who while living in California have been
organisng the tamils in the US. Very soon you in Sri Lanka will
hear of Jayantha on the run. Our forum has gathered sufficient data
about Jayantha's activities that will make him want to run back to
Sri Lanka.

The LTTE and its members will be hunted down where ever they
hide. We in the midwest have been greatly appreciative of your
President. A true statesman at last in Sri Lanka.

At last, please help us to update our list of organisations
supporting the LTTE. If you readers have any information regarding
LTTE fundraisers, stores, supermarkets, movie houses, schools,
airline travel agencies, * rental stores, banks or any other
please write to me. I am compiling a master list of people and
companies supporting this band organisation. send your info to
Jerald Owens, P.O.Box 2018, Sioux City, IA 51101-2018.

I wish to finish my comments on a historical note. One of my Sri
Lankan friends once told me that from ancient Sri Lanka times a
group of people called Veddahs lived in Wanni the present hideout
of the LTTE's leader (he has an unpronounceable name). The Veddahs
apparently were uncivilized and never went anywhere in life.

Well the self proclaimed leader of the LTTE too is not going
anywhere. You cannot cheat all the people all the time. He will be
hunted down till someday soon he will be on his hands and knees
begging for his life and for forgiveness from the tamils, the
sinhalese and the muslims of Sri Lanka that he has terrorised for
so long.
