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 gays and lesbians 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, video 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.
Thank you for your time
