Another in the bunch ....

Ever since we won the war I was hoping for a better Sri Lanka. Price reductions, more job opportunities, development of cities, no strikes etc., I guess those things cannot be done over night and yes I m full aware of it. Why do i talk about these things ? oh wel.. wining the war was hoped by generations for many a years. N when we finally got freedom from the rebels we celebrated, we appreciated, we went elated. We still do rember a few big names in the milatry who contributed immensely for this victory. One of them were Gen. S Fonseka. Hope you all know who he is how he lead the war front.

Why is he in my blog ? I have never wrote anything which is related to politics but I what happened during the last few weeks are something which I think I should write about.

He used to be well respected, well spoken to, well appreciated by the people of Sri Lanka. Inside the army base, no idea wt n how it was for him. He kinda reminded me of the saying “elowa gihin melowa awa” .. y? simply cz he escaped a suicide bomber at the Army HQ. face would have been a bit disfigured but stil he was a whole man who commanded the Military to win a war which never saw ny end. Yes he did not by himself win this war, there are many. But this humongous figure became a shred of dust just overnight. Y ? becz he resigned from the Army and wanting to enter into the politics.

Mind you, politics comes with deceit, lies, hatred, revenge, etc., but mostly it consist of Money and power. You have money, you have power. So wat the Former Gen. is greedy for money or for the power ? wel may be both or may be not a ny of the above. But I personally believe that wining a war doesn’t mean that you can rule a country.

I know what media reports, I see wat papers print, i hear wat ppl say, bt does ny of us knw what is the truth behind all this drama ? I knw that the person whom the ppl of SL truly cared is no more.

It’s a shame that ppl like these jst destroy their image by entering into the politics. It has been shown in all parts of the world. Ex. Arjuna Ranathunga, the one n only Capt. who managed to bring the World Cup (Cricket) to SL. He entered into politics (may be due to his family background) but now do we see him as that great Capt ? I guz not. Imarn Khan, Manoj Prabhakar, etc, entered into the politics and where r they now ? but have to say that ppl around the world do rember Imran as legend in cricket. Sadly it isn’t same for Arjuna Ranthunga I guz.

We love Murali. No matter what colour he is wts is his religion, when he takes wickets n bring a match to wining end, we, Sri Lankans united as one n applauded. We felt happiness and joy within our hearts. Although it was a match we really praised the ones who made it hapn. I dnt hv to write about how we all celebrated (except for a few) when the war ended. (not the terrorism but the war). And with feeling we really respected & cared for those who contributed to the betterment of SL.

Where are the war heroes now ? yes we might not rember all names but the huge role models we did care.

Respect is not something which u can get by force. U have to own it. With that kind of respect why did the General wanted to enter into the Politics ? what wld u say if Murali says that he will be entering into politics in a few years time ? im sure that we all with see n think abt that decision in a totally different perspective.

I do hate politics, and I dnt knw much about it. But if its so great why do we feel this way when a war hero enters into the politics ???
