A New President Capable Of Restoring Sri Lanka To Her Past Glory !

With a new Executive President installed in Sri Lanka, in a very turbulent political climate there are many analysts who believe that here then is a President who could bring much calm to the troubled Nation of Sri Lanka through his politicall savvy acquired from an astutely political background which he virtually grew up in and someone who could take measured steps rather than rush into swift unmitigated decision making towards establishing and maintaining the calm and refurbishing th economy which is nevertheless imperative towards restoring order within the Nation after a hotly contested Presidential elections and many dissatisfied losers whose negative input into Mr.Rajapakse's victory seems never ending!

Almost comfortingly it is believed that in like manner of Presidents past, he may follow a path of safety taking no chances towards ruffling the feathers of foreign allies who matter and exercise great wisdom and caution in all his policy making although he is reputed to be someone who might not necessarily bow down to peer pressure (Obviously foreign) where he could apply his own terms of moderation in dealing with administrative issues.

In the past it has been observed that Presidents in the aftermath of their victories have shown a tendency to follow up their victories through immediate parliamentary elections towards testing the real mood of the Nation relative to the presidential win, which if devised as a necessity by the new administration could bolster it's strength towards confidences needed to face the road ahead. They have as expected of the New President pursued their direction conservatively in order to appease both the Nation as well as the supportive Foreign Powers with the priorities weighed evenly. In the simplest of terms the New President too is expected to tread lightly at the outset in how the Nation is administered despite many pressing issues which may seem in need of radical resolution. A legacy bestowed upon Sri Lanka with little thanks to the previous Wickremasinghe administration which left behind a conundrum of bad decision making relative to both the ethnic issue which eventually became meaningless despite an ongoing Peace Process and Ceasefire as well as the flailing economy which remained and became a morass of uncertainty until the political turnaround which projected the UPFA into power and expelled the UNP despite itself being unable to resolve fully the issues at hand which were overly complex within a seemingly nationally and ethnically divided Sri Lanka.

The new President therefore is undoubtedly faced with the daunting task of correcting many wrongs left behind by previous administrations as well as the imperative task of Tsunami rebuilding which cannot remain on the back burner for much longer and there can be no avoidance or circumventing the issues at hand which needs all the support fom all concerned towards accomplishing with any measure of success by Sri Lanka's Executive Leadership.A Leader behind whom all patriotic Lankans must stand firm without compromise in the absence of which the Nation will falter in the face of its adversaries and the adversities they are more than likely to create in their dissapointment at the loss of the Presidency insidiously backed by the LTTE who would like nothing better than a failed new Administration!

While avoiding administrative pitfalls which are likely to be created by the opposition, the delicate balance between facing upto issues relative to the Sovereignity and Territorial Integrity of Sri Lanka while dealing with the ethnic issue synonymously and re- structuring Sri Lanka's shaky economy relative to its GDP and chief income sources there can be no backing out of big decisions that may seem appropriate towards resolution despite how they are viewed by many critics out to discredit him by virtue of his accords with the JVP and the JHU which many rationally thinking Sri Lankans believe projected the Rajapakse win and a source of steely strength towards LTTE ambitions towards their own agenda!

The New President H.E. Mahinda Rajapaksa has always maintained as have many patriotic sons and daughters of the Nation whose perceptions envision its compromising nature, serious concerns about the Ceasefire Agreement with the LTTE signed by former Prime Minister Wickremesinghe during his tenure in 2002. He has had serious reservations about the role played by the Norwegian peace brokers who have blatantly overstepped their assignment as facilitators to the point of LTTE supportive interference and has subsequently cold shouldered the Norwegians without reservation where very significantly Norway has been notably ignored in his acceptance speech pointing towards his dissentments about Norway being permitted any further participation in the Peace Process per se and the possibilities of an alternative source being sought after more than likely.This is an impasse which the President would have to manouvre around with dexterity as the Western allies of Sri Lanka seem to think fit that Norway's involvement is imperative to the cause and to irk the wrath of Western Allies on whom the Nation depends heaviy for Foreign Aid an unavoidable No No!
Catch 22 as it apparently seems the writing appears to be on the wall for Norway where the Foreign Powers concerned perhaps need to rehash their trend of thougt about the futilities of Norway's further involvement in Sri Lankas peace process and contribute towards finding a viable alternative without pro- LTTE bias!

Dubbed a hawkish, leftist hardliner by some of his critics the New President of Sri Lanka has engaged possibly the greatest challenge of his life in taking on the administrative reins of Sri Lanka where much hope and faith on the part of his Nation is pinned on his leadership and direction as someone who might be termed Sri Lanka's proudest son of the day.His pragmatic approach towards how he deals with issues has already been observed through the calm and tranquil nature of his conduct in his post Election Dialogue and dispensations of his idealogies for the nation which has probably been observed by many sources who have had trepidations about his capabilities which in the normal order of things relating to Sri Lanka appear to be at an uncomparable Zenith with respect to his predecessor as time will surely attest to his successes. If his present congenial demeanour combined with wise decision making prevails on a parallel with the tumultuous support he has from the Sinhala Nation where all De Trop pretenders to Sri Lanka's well being need to be vanquished systematically through the process of gradual elimination within legitimate means Sri lanka will certainly be the Pride of Asia once more with much of her past glory restored!
