To Be Or Not To Be With The Party The Million Dollar Dilemma!

I respect Mr. Maithripala Sirisena who refuses to be addressed as His Excellency, for his bold decision to confront the the absolute villain of Sri Lankan politics. He took a bold step but he would have been ashes if not for the support of firstly the digruntled people and then those who crossed over with him including Rajitha a main architect, Champika and Ven Rathana, Arjuna, and the others. The revolution had already started when Mr. Maithripala was invited by Chandrika, Ven Sobitha, Ranil and others. Please don’t forget them irrespective of their own agendas!

We all know ‘the’ history, but have the main players forgotten history as history repeats itself. It boils down to a three cornered divide and rule. When A, B and C hate each other and have their own agendas, A and B may want to join forces to defeat the almighty C! But when C is down, A and B will have a battle of their own!

When Russians were backed by the Northern Alliance, the Americans were backed by the Talibans. But when the Russians were gone Talibans had their own agenda and turned the gun on the ‘friend’ America! When America decided to fight their former friend Talibans, they had to get the help of their former enemy the Northern Alliance! History is full of these stories such as America, Saddam and Iran; LTTE,, various splinter groups who were decimated after using them! BUT WE HAVE FORGOTTEN THESE EXAMPLES!

After defeating the villain, is Mr. Maithripala, going to back him again for the sake of resurrecting the ‘party’? Or is he really scared of the Villain and 85 thieves? If he wants to resurrect the party, get rid of the scum the dirty scoundrels within the party and outside!           Read More
