Yes there were hordes of foreigners streaming into Colombo ..there was Swire from the UK who promised to help end corruption in o all the places in the ARMY….then Ravi spoke of a mysterious belgian who had promised to deliver a billion dollars with no questions asked and then there was our old friend Solheim of Norway explaining as to why the peace initiatives failed. We are only going through the middle of January. Fortunately no one has volunteered to draft our constitution! In this regard you have yet to declare your alliance and not get carried away by promises specially coming from Ranil.
You could have come up with something more than a round about. The last time that was about two years ago I went to Polonnaruwa the city was in shambles and through the town ran an sopen sewer with no water even then it stank.
There was the museum and i wonder whose clever idea was to carve out stuff of archaeological interests to be lodge in the museum.
Then after UNESCO abandoned their work in Polonnaruwa the stuff they excavated were left in ruins and you represented Polonnaruwa for so many years. Probably the only thing you were concerned with was propping up your brothers Araliya interests.
Most of the foreigners invite you out curiosity for intellectually you have nothing to offer them …you are no Pol Pot, Hugo Chavez, Kohemini Ho chi min or Gadaffi but then they were not popular but go things done.

Dear President Sir,
Referring to the invitations you received from all over the world you say ” all these invitations came not on the requests by me”, you may be insinuating at a former Prime Minister who requested or wrangled out an invitation for himself and his wife to a famous wedding party at the Buckingham Palace where only the heads of State were officially invited and our country was represented by the President at the time. You are right Mr.President our country is replete with such greedy leaders who were insults to the nation. In noble parlance invitations are never requested.
Or Come on Amden, you should know by now that: USA + UK = The World (OR the International Community).
