Robert O’Blake
Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia
State Department, Washington, US
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
Dear Bob:
I just read in IndiaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Hindu, bylined R.K.Radhakrishnan that you had asked the Sri Lankan government to show ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-accelerated progressƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ in speeding up the process of reconciliation and granting political rights to the Tamils of the North.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚
Wow! Come again Bob, did you really say that?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Now, really! Before I ask you,Who the hell are you Yankee to demand that from the Sri Lankan government, IƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ should ask you to confirm whether in the State DepartmentƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Organization ChartƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ there is aƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ line-management positionƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ for South and Central-Asia which is designated as, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”God of Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢, and that you fitted the bill quite well since you were the Ambassador for the US in Sri Lanka, quite tall and exercised your cunning well?ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Perhaps, you can clear that mystery for meƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ as or else you wouldnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t act with such haughty arrogance and Yankee-stupidity.
You know what Bob, even if you are just a mouth piece of your boss Hillary Clinton, you are not a James Cagneyesque Yankee Doodle Dandy.
May be it was a case of meeting Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s President Mahinda Rajapaksa and bully yourƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ way with Yankee authority which could be summerized asƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Bobby met a beetle, a Big Black beetle too,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ that caught a Tiger and swallowed it alive, and sang to the worldƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ woo! hoo!! woo!!!ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ But Bobby being brave and bold said boo beetle boo.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ I am no Yankee baby boy, to be afraid of you.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ So go back home you big black beetle and do what I say, Boo beetle boo!ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚
Then it was the response from the Big Black Beetle which happened to be President Mahinda Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka, whispering into the Yankee Bobby BlakeƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s ear which seems interesting which I am speculating what may have happened:ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-Bobby you little Yankee boy, who do you think you are, run to your Mummy Clinton and tell her, the Big Black Beetle thumbs his nose at her from that afar.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ He says before I preachƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ to him to tell him what the US is doing, in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚
Elsewhere I read that you had met leaders of the Sri Lankan Government, including Defense Secretary Rajapaksa. ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦And he said he discussed the importance of progress in reducing the role and profile of the military in Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s north and ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-full respect for human rightsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚.
Wow! Bob.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ By now you were really acting your role as ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s GodƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢, werenƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t you?
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ I suppose the Big Black Beetle whispered into your ear again:ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-When you have no business to complain of Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s military presence in the North, tell me Yankee boy before I explode you with my wrath, what the hell is your military in Lars base in Germany and in Okinawa.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Run away to your Mummy you Yankee little boy before I swallow you up too. Go on, Boo Yankee boo, run away you Yankee little boy, run away to your Clinton Mamma soon.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚
That says it all Robert OƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢Blake.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ You Yankees have created so much of chaos around the world,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ with your endless acts of terrorism, especially in the Middle East, under the guise of ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”¹…”WarsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ on LiberationƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ And you are not welcome in Sri Lanka in that cunning Halloween God costume with a halo struck at the back of your head.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ And donƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t take Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s politeness as their weakness as you bet they will not drop to the ground and roll over pretendingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ that they are dead, just because Robert OƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢Blake, the Assistant Secretary of State of the US, who pretends he is the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-God of Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ coughs and sneezes all over Sri Lanka.
Again with this visit to Sri Lanka you have insulted Sri LankaƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s integrity, and trampled its sovereignty and demonized its democracy with your statements ordering the Sri Lankan Government what to do.
DidnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t any of the Sri Lankan leaders remind you saying, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-See who is talking when you guys went into Iraq on a lie and killed 1.2 million Iraqis and your drones are killing innocent civilians in Pakistan, and you talk of accountability on human rights violations in Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Come on, Bob, why donƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t you get lost!ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Perhaps the Sri Lankan political leaders were extremely polite and that doesnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t mean that they were not annoyed with you.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Perhaps you had difficulty to decipher the angry facial expression in brown face.
Well, Bob, stop acting God in Sri Lanka.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Such Yankee Gods have no place in Sri Lanka, now or ever, and that is a fact.
And I notice a note in todayƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s Sunday Observer which said, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-PresidentƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Mahinda Rajapaksa has told international fora that everything is being done, to putƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ things back in order. It is absurd for any of the visiting representatives to tell us, without knowing the actual ground situation, what we should do and how soon, Minister Rambukwella said.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚
Well, Bob, if that is indeed the bottom line, then you might as wellƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ take off your Halloween God costume, and be careful removing the halo and donƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t break or tarnish it as you might need it to bully another little island nation meddling in their internal affairs, as there are many around that you and your boss can playƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Trick or Treat with.
Sincerely
Asoka Weerasinghe (Mr.)

These scumbags from the US come to SL to tell us what to do when they are stinking in filth with the human rights abuses in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Egypt etc. Who the hell they think they are? Even though they are rich economically, they are absolute paupers in humanity. They are the least qualified to talk about “human-rights” in the real sense of the word. They use “human rights” to bully the poorer Asian and Middle-Eastern countries using their economic power and clout in the world order. Shame on them!

“Granting political rights to the Tamils of the North.” Robert O’Blake
Since 1931 on Donoughmore Constitution, every Sri Lankans over 21 years granted political rights for voting, form political party, freedom of assembly and media freedom. This right is for every Sri Lankans means Sinhala, Tamil, Malayali (Keralite),Chetti (Chetti Nadu) Moor, Burghers, Malay, Javans (Indonesian), Chinese, Parsi (Iranians) etc.
There are more than 14 tamil racial political parties registered under elections department. Illankai tamil arasu Kachi, Tamil congress, Tamil National Alliance, Tamil United Liberation Front, Ellam Peoples’ Revolutionary Liberation Front, Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization, People’s liberation organisation of tamil eelam, Akila Ilankai tamil congress, Akila Illankai tamil united front, Elavar Democratic Front, Eelam People’s Democratic Front, Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pullikal, and Ceylon Worker’s congress. In addition tamils are in every main stream political parties also.
Tamils are elected to our parliament, Provincial councils, Municipal councils and other local councils.
On what basis Robert O’Blake grumbling about political rights of tamils. Blake please don’t moo then world come to know you are a bull.

Robert Blaka should know the greatest human rights are the rights to basic needs, food, shelter, and the safety of ones family to grow without fear of evil. Now there is no fear of conscription to terrorist gang awaiting school child or the government officer.
If he went to Jaffna and spoke to ordinary folks and seen who well schools run, green fields, lush farms, roads and bridges are being built he would not have ben disappointed. He should also give a kick in the butt of Indians wasting time on building the rail link.
