Posted on July 6th, 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis an article published on 7.7.2010 in Lankaweb resubmitted for publication as\nit is more relevant and timely than ever before, in view of the ongoing and\nunending harassment deployed towards this country by the UNO and its other\nagencies like the UNCHR and Human Watch after reading the beautiful analysis of\nUNO by By Shenali Waduge under\u201d Cut the crap UN \u2013 your foreign Missions have\nfailed, your tribunals are dead ducks & UN is corrupt & biased, Posted\non March 31st, 2019 in Lankaweb.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/em>In this backdrop I\nreiterate and emphasize the urgent need for such new world organization as\nsuggested above first to ascertain our independence and second to isolate these\nblood thirsty colonial parasites who have, invaded plundered. Destabilizes and\ndestroyed the whole world for over a period of seven centuries and still\nstruggling to maintain their past hegemony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year I\nwrote on the need for an independent Afro-Asian UNO in view of the anti-Asian\nand anti-African attitude of the UNO under its present dominance  by the western powers and their allies. Now\nwith the final appointment of a Committee by its Secretary General under the\npressure from these powers isn\u2019t it clear that the need for such organization\nhas become more crucial. I reiterate the urgent need for such a new world\norganization to protect Asian and African countries from western harassing and\nalso to address the needs of the Afro-Asian countries.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reproduce what\nI wrote last year below. I would like to add only one comment regarding the\nrole of Japan and South Korea to this article. These two countries which are\npro-American at present I think should now adopt a pro-Asian attitude to common\nregional problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My sympathies\nwith Ban Moon the present Secretary General though represents an Asian country\nis struggling to gain a second term by representing the western interests.\nToday he acts only a puppet in the hands of  \nhis religious convictions, personal greed for the second term. It is a\ntragedy that he does not realize that and thereby he is going against one of\nhis Asian Nation State. His religious conviction, the influence of his church\nand personal greed for the second term and perhaps the benefits he may be\ngetting from the Tamil Diaspora may have made him to forget the Sri Lankan\ngovernment\u2019s support he got last time to gain this position. Had the Sri Lankan\nGovernment supported Jayantha Danpala things would have been different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My article of\n27.9.2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going by how\nthings are been currently manipulated at the UNO by the West and its allies and\nhow shabbily and discriminately Asian countries like ours are treated, I fully\nendorse L. Jayasooriya\u2019s proposition (Asian Tribune) that we must look for an\nalternative Asian  (or Afro-Asian) UNO in\nplace of the present disintegrating (politically, Economically and culturally)\nWest dominated neocolonial exploiter gang dancing to the tune of USA in order\nto destabilize and pauperize the small countries who are trying to rise from\nthe abysmal depths in to which these very colonial powers have driven us from\nthe beginning of the 16th century.  The\nUNO today has forgotten its Charter and has got reduced to a United\nNeo-colonial Outfit of the west\u201d\u009d. The main aim of these ex-colonial exploiters\nis to keep these Afro-Asian countries in eternal poverty entrenched in\npolitical disarray and ethnic wars so that they could sell their arms and all other\nindustrial stuff including outdated technology and continue their neo- colonial\nexploitation in order to perpetuate their hegemony and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However they\nlittle realize that their days of supremacy in all aspects, such as economic,\nmilitary and intellectual are a thing of the past; at least the journey to that\ndestination has already begun with the election of Obama as the President of\nthe United States of America. As Samuel Huntington, the renowned Harvard\nprofessor, has very aptly pointed out in his The Clash of Civilization and the\nRemaking of the World Order\u201d\u009d (1997) the Euro-American face of Western\naffluence and political influence, universality of the western culture and the\nbeliefs are no more tenable. Today it is false, immoral and dangerous to have\nsuch a view as he says. America today is a disparate nation, whereas countries\nlike Sri Lanka are not. This is what unfortunately the west has failed to\nunderstand. They have become the victims of their affluence which is a direct\nproduct of colonial exploitation. Rejection of the western creed and\ncivilization as Huntington has argued means the end of the USA. It also means\neffectively the end of western civilization. Like all other world civilizations\ntoday the western civilization has entered in to the stage of internal decay\nand therefore it is marching towards the grand finale of its end in the same\nmanner other past word civilizations like the Greek, Roman and Ottoman etc did.\nWhat is more is now it is universally accepted that tomorrow once again, as it\nhad been in the golden past, belongs to the East and not to the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this backdrop\nit is high time that these western powers at least now renounce their assumed\nsupremacy mentality and learn to treat all nations as equals, irrespective of\ntheir geographical size and economic power. I am making this comment especially\nin the context of the current attitude of the west towards my own country\nparticularly after the Sri Lanka government has successfully defeated the LTTE\nterrorist outfit after 30 long years of suffering and destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole world\nknows how the western camp and even India were instrumental in training and\narming the LTTE to destabilize this little Island, the Home of Theravada\nBuddhism and the Land of the Sinhala people for the past 2500 years. But thanks\nto the Present President and his able team led by the Secretary Defense and the\nHeads of the three forces with Sarath Fonseka in command, we were fortunately\nable to defeat all those diabolical conspiracies. By doing that I think Sri\nLanka has achieved a historic victory. Both in its scale and military\nramifications and also external involvements, this was the biggest and the most\ndifficult war ever fought on Sri Lankan soils. What everybody thought unwinnable\nthe Sri Lankan government has won and set an example to the whole world for\nwhich they have to be thankful to this little Island nation. Because it has set\nthe modus operandi as to how terrorists should be eliminated. In the aftermath\nof the war it should be the duty and the obligation of the entire world in the\nname of world peace and humanity to help Sri Lanka to raise its head out of\nthirty years of destruction and devastation left by these terrorists and\nre-emerge as a politically and economically stable state. The whole world also\nshould help Sri Lanka to trace the remaining remnants of LTTE and eliminate\nthem not only to complete the mission carried out by Sri Lanka but also to free\nthe whole world from terrorism. Instead of intimidating this little Island the\nwest should help to complete the wonderful job the Sri Lankan government has\ndone in defeating the LTTE. The burden is more so, on the part of those western\ncountries such as the United Kingdom who are directly as well as indirectly\nresponsible for this unfortunate situation in countries like Sri Lanka.\nAlthough the LTTE has been physically defeated on Sri Lankan soils we have to\nremember that it\u2019s widely spread tentacles both at home and over the globe are\nstill not dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let us see\nwhat some of these countries are doing instead and how they behave nakedly\nagain to destabilize this Island Nation to fulfill their own agendas,\ncompletely ignoring the independence, sovereignty and the democratic right to\nmanage our own affairs. The major issues they are gunning at are the question\nof IDPs, violation of human rights, so-called excesses in the concluded war\nagainst LTTE terrorism, freedom of the press and a political solution to the\nso-called ethnic problem that exist only in their own minds.  See the blatant duplicity  of USA policy \ncompared with  what the ‘Bush\nDoctrine stated in 2001 that it would not distinguish between terrorist\norganizations and nations or governments that harbor them\u201d\u009d  The problem here is the tiny Sri Lankan\ngovernment  has done in two and half\nyears what these major powers could not do for decades. I know it is a shame on\nthem as it was acknowledged even by the New York Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also must\nnow be trying to take revenge for not conceding to their pressure to save\nPirapahan and his lieutenants at the last moment.  When they did so, they little realized that\nthey are interfering with the independence and sovereignty of an independent\nnation and also with the mandated right of the government of Sri Lanka to conduct\nits internal governance according to the will of its own people. It is true\nthat there are international conventions and treaties governing certain actions\nof individual nations but you can\u2019t have one criterion for America and its\nallies and another for smaller countries like Sri Lanka. What the Sri Lankan\ngovernment has done is it has put an end to an internal terrorist movement that\nwas pestering its very existence for nearly 30 long years, internationalized\nand supported by these very forces now again trying to give a new lease of life\nto LTTE under different names like human rights and war crimes.  I also must say that we as a member of the\nUNO have not violated any principle enshrined in the UN Charter either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other\nhand what moral right do they have to advice us on matters like human rights\nand excesses of war etc when they are the real culprits who have done worst\nthings in other countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam? I am sure how\nsuspects are treated in Guantanamo has no conceivable parallels Sri Lanka. Sri\nLankan government is only trying to rehabilitate those victimized by the LTTE.\nOf cause in the process the legitimate government of the country also has to\nweed out the LTTE elements who take cover under the IDP flag with the intention\nof regrouping and reorganizing in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to New\nYork Times\/The Nation, US $ 800 billion have been spent on the Iraq war.  130,000 US troupes (in addition to other\nEuropean carders and 75 US bases are involved; 14040 journalists and 600,000\ncivilians have been so far killed; there are 5 million IDPS suffering 70 % of\nwhom do  not have even adequate water.\nThe Iraq war began in March 2003. In Afghanistan they started the war in 2001\nand an equal number if not more people have been killed. What right do they\nhave severally and jointly to invade those countries and kill their people in\ntens of thousands. Are they not war crimes? Why didn\u2019t Banki Moon take action\nagainst such gross violations? Have they not violated human rights in a global scale?\nIsn\u2019t that the pot calling the kettle black, though we cannot be categorized as\na kettle for the simple reason that we have not violated any such human right,\nas we were only defending the country against an internationally manipulated\nterrorist outfit which has waged a brutal war to destroy this country? We also\nhave not invaded someone else\u2019s country as they have done. Was it not the USA\nwho trained and financed Al-Queda against Russia in Afghanistan and finally got\nthe retribution with enhanced interest when they attacked the World Trade\nCentre on 1.11.2001?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly was it\nnot the UK who provided a heaven for global terrorism by accommodating Al-Queda\nand LTTE Head Quarters in London even after they have been named and banned as\nterrorist organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shenali Waduge\nrecently has lucidly exposed UKs involvement in global terrorist activities\nunder ‘Has not Britain been sponsoring terror?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Wed,\n2009-09-23) I reproduce the whole thing here because it is so interesting to\nget a clear idea of their duplicity. I do so for the benefit of those who may\nhave not read this in view of its importance as an invaluable source of\ninformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I quote,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘It was in\n2000, that the Editors of Executive Intelligence Review requested the then\nSecretary of State Madeleine Albright to review the British Government\u2019s role\nin supporting international terrorism \u201d\u2026\u201d this request came largely on the\ngrounds of the British Government asking for the safe passage of Ahmed Omar\nSheikh to Britain claiming that they would not prosecute him despite him being\nsentenced in India for 5 years in 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the US feels\nthat Britain has been sponsoring international terrorism it has only to enforce\nthe Congressional acts and it is interesting to know why Britain escapes investigation\nbut then who said the US has a clean record where funding international\nterrorism remains a hot topic. When G8 nations account for over 90% of\nmanufacture and sale of arms we need not look very far for the culprits and\nsource for where terrorists get their arms and weapons from. Of course the\nfunds used largely arise from drug trade and other illicit activity for which\nagain these powerful states are in a position to dislodge, if they have the\nwill to do so and relieve the world of all the scrooges that prevail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a few\nexamples \u201d\u2026\u201d In 1996, the US military base in Saudi Arabia was bombed killing\n19 US soldiers, M Massari, Head of London-based Committee for the Defense of\nLegitimate Rights promised more such strikes yet the British Government granted\nMassari exceptional leave\u201d\u009d (4 year refugee permit) to remain in Britain.\nMassari is closely attached to Osama bin Laden as well and would anyone be\nsurprised that he continues to maintain a residence in wealthy Wembly and\nLondon, London also happens to be the head quarters of Bin Laden\u2019s Advise and\nReform Commission. Then, again the LTTE\u2019s headquarters was also in the UK and\nLTTE theoretician Anton Balasingham and wife were openly canvassing for the\nLTTE terror movement without any problems by the UK Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also that same\nyear, a former British M15 officer (David Shayler) admitted that British\nSecurity Services financed \u00a3100,000 to a London based Islamic terrorist group\nto assassinate Muammar Gaddafi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would it not be\ncorrect to assume that it was because the British Government had funded\nterrorist activity that in 1997 a Tory MP, Nigel Waterson felt the need to\nintroduce legislation (Conspiracy and Incitement bill) to ban foreign\nterrorists from operating on British soil? This bill came soon after the\nscandal over Britain providing safe haven for Massari. However, Labor MR George\nGalloway blocked the bill by claiming that the Bill will change political\nasylum in this country in a profound and dangerous way. It will change a state\nof affairs that has existed since Napoleon\u2019s time\u201d\u00a6.We are all in favor of\ncontrolling terrorism in Britain. Surely not a single honorable Member has any\ntruck with terrorism here, but we are talking about terrorism in other\ncountries\u201d\u00a6the bill will criminalize such people, even though they have not\nbroken any law in Britain or caused any harm to the Queen\u2019s peace in her\nrealm\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 A year later, we can recall the massacre of\ntourists in Egypt where 62 died perpetrated by Gamaa al-Islamiya whose leaders\nhave been provided political asylum in Britain and calls for extradition by\nEgyptian authorities even summoning the British Ambassador and demanding that\nBritain stop providing safe haven to terrorists\u201d\u009d\u201d\u00a6even going so far as to say\nthat Egypt identified Britain as the main center for radical plotting\nassassinations\u201d\u009d. Egypt did not stop there\u201d\u00a6they even opened a State\nInformation Service (Call to Combat Terrorism) on the country\u2019s official\nwebsite & listed some of the wasted masterminds of terrorism who are currently\nenjoying secure and convenient asylum in some world capitals\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the 14 listed\nwanted\u201d\u009d men linked to the Luxor massacre the top 7 were domiciled in London.\nWhat about the US terror list released in 1996 with 30 Foreign Terrorist\nOrganizations banned from operating on US soil also finds 6 groups all\nheadquartered in London including Sri Lanka\u2019s LTTE \u201d\u2026\u201d the others include\nAl-Jihad (Egypt), Hamas, Armed Islamic Group, Kurdish Workers Party & the\nIslamic Group. The UK was to go a step further in 1997 by granting permission\nto Abel Abdel Majid and Adel Tawfiq al-Sirri of the Islamic Group to open fund\nraising & media offices in London under International Bureau for the\nDefense of the Egyptian People.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was despite\nMajid being implicated in the 1981 assassination of Egyptian President Anwar\nSadat. The Algerian Armed Islamic Group responsible for the assassination of\nAlgerian President Mohamed Boudiaf in 1992 not surprisingly also has its head\nquarters in London. The US FBI identifies the LTTE as the world\u2019s most\ndeadliest terrorist organization but it too has been holding its international\nsecretariat in London since 1984 openly canvassing its cause as well as\nillicitly raising funds and smear campaigns against a democratic Government.\nMost of the orders for assassinations are delivered via London. So when\nLondon-based terrorist groups plans and launches operations to destabilize\ncountries we should not be in the least surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This happened to\nYemen in 1998 but the Yemeni authorities were faulted when several of the\nkidnapped foreigners got killed in the rescue operation. The Yemeni authorities\nwere however immediate in their response by sending back British Scotland Yard\nofficials who had been called to investigate and even went so far as to withdraw\nits application for British Commonwealth membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The connection\nto Britain by internationally established terror groups is when locating its\ninternational bases which all happen to be in London. Egypt, Israel (UK\nresponse to accusation of Hamas involvement in several attacks on Israeli\u2019s\n\u201d\u2026\u201d\u201dWe have seen no proof to support allegations that funds raised by the\nHamas, in the UK are used directly in support of terrorist acts elsewhere\u201d\u009d),\nFrance (Armed Islamic Group\u2019s ordered a terror war against France), Algeria,\nPeru (demanded extradition of Adolfo Hector Olaechea but refused by British\nauthorities), Turkey, Germany (following PKK leader Apo Ocalan calling for the\nassassination of German Chancellor Kohl) and India following the hijacking of\nIndian Airlines in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accusations\nagainst Britain from foreign Governments finally got media attention with the\nDaily Telegraph in 1999 claiming Britain is now an international center for\nIslamic militancy on a huge scale\u201d\u00a6and the capital is the home to a bewildering\nvariety of radical Islamic fundamentalist movements, many of which make no\nsecret of their commitments to violence and terrorism\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, we can\nsafely conclude that terrorists from Britain emerge in every hotbed of\nterrorist extremism around the world and therefore should we also conclude that\nthe terror taking place in these countries is perhaps by no accident? This then\nimplies that fundamentalist extremism in the case of the Islamic terrorists and\nthe separatist agenda in the case of LTTE is part and parcel of British policy\nlinked with charities\u201d\u009d that raise and fund terror campaigns. These\naccusations against Britain has been documented by a British think tank called\nPolicy Exchange where it cites how the Labor Party and the Foreign Service have\npromoted radical Islamic terrorism even ensuring that extremist literature is\nsubverting mosques in the UK. Yet, the Muslim community in Britain comprises\nMuslims from Asian countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan and India and not so\nmuch from Saudi Arabia. So why the British legal system protects the\nAnglo-Saudi financing of terror and why should British intelligence collaborate\nwith terrorists and their recruiters?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abu Qatada, a\nnotorious Al-Qaeda operative in London was granted asylum in 1994 \u201d\u2026\u201d the\nTimes of London exposed Qatada as being a M15 double agent in 2004- these\ndealings obviously to ensure that while terror may be unleashed in other\nquarters Britain remains untouched or undamaged\u201d\u00a6then what happened in 2005?\nBritain may have wanted terrorists not to bite the hand that fed them but what\nif they come home to roost? The irony in the aftermath of the attacks on\nBritain was that while the entire British police were out chasing for the\nculprits the British Secret Service was all out to hide them! This obviously\nequates to mean that despite the anti-terror hype and the counter-terror\ncollaborations the Brits have an ugly habit of providing safe havens for\nterrorists in Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it\nwould be no exaggeration when we say that the world\u2019s most feared terrorists\nare all creations of the intelligence services of Governments who have directed\ntheir emergence into society as toys to instill terror. The CIA created Osama\nbin Laden and the Al-Qaeda, the CIA and German intelligence (BND) trained the\nKosovo Liberation Army (supported by Al Qaeda) in the 1990s (Balkans) to\nsupport NATO\u2019s war effort against Yugoslavia. A Report published in 1999 by the\nUS defense intelligence agency (DIA) that MI6 was asked to arrange training for\nthe KLA \u201d\u2026\u201d this training was sub-contracted to 2 British private security\nfirms who began trained from bases in Northern Albania. So much so for these\npassionate and patriotic calls to end terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So if we are\nalarmed to hear that virtuous Britain has been creating and harboring\nterrorists we should not be surprised to hear Britain\u2019s complicity in torture.\nThe surprise is meritorious in the light of these very officials demanding Sri\nLanka to be investigated for war crimes, human rights violations, denied\nconcessions while these very nations are deeply involved in rendition of\nsuspects to unknown destinations and countries to be tortured and abused with\nno care for their human rights and has the UN Secretary General been the least\nconcerned\u201d\u009d about these goings on or has the UN Special Rappateur Prof. Alston\never picked up US, UK and its allies for their HR abuses? What have they done\nabout the British territory of Diego Garcia being used for rendition of\nsuspected terrorists? The British however continue to deny these allegations\neven though former SAS officers like Ben Griffin (2006) revealed that Iraqi\u2019s\nand Afghans had been captured by British and US Special Forces and rendered to\nprisons where they faced torture. We are unaware of any individuals originally\ndetained by UK authorities and subsequently rendered by the USA\u201d\u009d \u201d\u2026\u201d Kim\nHowells, December 2005 (response to parliamentary question)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However David\nMiliband, UK Foreign Secretary admitted that 2 CIA aircrafts transporting\nabducted prisoners landed in UK in 2002 for refueling en route to Diego Garcia\nin the Indian Ocean. The admission also recalls Lord Gilbert\u2019s comments (of UK\nrole in Kosovo) in the House of Commons that the Rambouillet terms offered to\nthe Yugoslav delegation had been absolutely intolerable\u201d\u009d and designed to\nprovoke war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1994 public\ninquiry presided by Lord Justice Scott revealed the illegal British arms sales\nto Iraq \u201d\u2026\u201d this could not have taken place without the explicit approvals of\ntop political figures, very senior civil servants from the Foreign Office,\nMinistry of Defense and the Dept of Trade and Industry \u201d\u2026\u201d in sum the top\nechelons of the British Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going back to\n1965-66 if we recall the blood bath that brought Gen Suharto to power in\nIndonesia, the scale of British complicity will emerge. The Labor Government\nunder Harold Wilson supplied logistics and intelligence, warships to support\nSuharto and close upon a million perished as a result of Britain. Documents are\nto also reveal how Britain acted to ensure that millions perished in Rwanda and\nensured through its diplomatic weight that the UN did not use words like\ngenocide\u201d\u009d. Therefore, Genocide\u201d\u009d and other rants attributed to UN emissaries\nare obviously with the explicit nods by powerful nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UN too has a\nConsolidated List \u201d\u2026\u201d the list includes many for plotting to blow up passenger\nairlines, bomb US embassies, assassinate foreign dignitaries and they are all\nBritish citizens residing in different parts of the UK. David Davies,\nConservative MP for Monmouth and a member of the Home Affairs Select Committee,\nsaid: It\u2019s quite outrageous for these people to carry on living here, many of\nthem on benefits. The Home Secretary should have the right to either lock them\nup or throw them out of the country, but for that to happen requires a change\nin the Human Rights Act.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the release\nof the Lockerbie bomber Abdel al-Megrahi by British authorities\u2019 fresh\nallegations against the British Govt surfaced. The US Govt was outraged by the\nmanner Megrahi was welcomed in Libya by Muammar Gaddafi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we\ncan assume that the US and UK do not see eye to eye all the time and it is\nextremely clear that the British Governments have been applying secret services\nfor their own benefits. With at small terrorist listing it is no surprise that\nLondon is the home to most of the world\u2019s deadliest terrorists and London is\nalso the base for the offices of these terror groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were told\nthat there is a war on terror\u201d\u009d \u201d\u2026\u201d unfortunately, we do not know against\nwhom. Is it because nations like the UK and US prefers to have an almost\ninvisible\u201d\u009d enemy giving them a carte blanche to descend upon nations. What\nthese powerful western nations call terrorism may be an inevitable response to\nthis injustice & certainly not when the maxim followed is one man\u2019s\nterrorist is another man\u2019s freedom fighter\u201d\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtuous Britain\nwill be smothered with embarrassment when the lists of its links to terror,\nassassination bids of heads of states, establishing of puppet leaders for\npro-Western Governments emerges and well aware of the crimes\u201d\u009d injustices\u201d\u009d\nhuman rights\u201d\u009d violations Britain has been committing over the years Miliband\nor any other Brutish should dare not point fingers without getting their act in\norder first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Western\nblock must understand that the their hegemony and dominance are not eternal and\nthey are also undergoing drastic changes as any other phenomena as it had been\naptly demonstrated over the recent past with increasing financial crises,\nunprecedented unemployment, deficit budgets and falling economic growth etc. As\nsuch the dominance of the present core states in the west and their allies both\nin the world economy and the political arena is now in the decline. No one can\nstop this trend as it is only the natural repetition of the evolutionary\nprocess in world history. Therefore as Huntington has warned the present \u201dCore\nStates\u201d\u009d should at least now face this reality and abstain from intervention in\ninternal conflicts in other civilizations. They should also get rid of their\ndominant mentality and admit that the world is multinational and multicultural\nand renounce universalism. They also should realize that all nations,\nirrespective of their geographical size, as much as the individuals do in\nmodern society where there are no slaves and masters, have equal status. The\nother thing is today the world is so interdependent and become so small no\ncountry, however big it may be, can behave like a Trojan horse or a bull in a\nchina shop. No one should be surprised if the next war would be a one between\nthis world and another? Therefore these so-called present day core states\nshould adopt a rational and pragmatic attitude regarding the independence and\nthe right to manage their own matters without bullying the smaller nations like\nus and blatantly interfering with their internal matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally this is\nthe best message I would like to give to all western countries and their allies\nin the south eastern corner of the globe and who are unnecessarily interfering\nwith the internal matters of Sri Lanka. If this nuisance is not going to stop\nforthwith we have only one option that is to get in to an Afrp-Asian UNO, a\nnew alliance with China and Russia block, as Professor L.
