    Should  we take a clue from the His Eminence  The\nCardinal  ??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I agree that Ex-President\u2019s life is\nworth protection because people are now lamenting that they made a wrong\ndecision.Hence they may want to revert the decision they made .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Maduluwawe Sobhita Thero is\nno more hence there is no one to advise .Rathana Thero is also in a warpath\nwith the President and the Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prof Wijesooriya who was an ardent\nsupporter of the incumbent government is now regretting that he supported them\nto come to power .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We are not sure about Rajitha\nSenaratne ,as he is unpredictable and Patali is head on collision with the PM\nin getting rid of Badhurdin. These were the same people who towed the line with\nMS to get rid of MR .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now with Dammika .Nagananda\n,Pallewatta eying for the post ,we should keep the  experienced ex leader\nalive to take the helm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I remember we did lot of work in\nconverting a land rover to a bullet proof vehicle  for the President\nPremadasa after  JVP tried to blow off Athulathmidali in the Parliament. Unfortunately\nPresident  Premadasa was driving around in the same converted bullet proof\n vehicle when he was killed by tigers ,That is because ,fate made him come\nout if vehicle with Mohiddeen to greet Babu. ( I sometimes wonder whether\nMohidden was a member of NTJ?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whether we all take precautions by\ndriving bullet proof vehicles or not when time is up you may die of choking a\nCoa Cola .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At this juncture MR should say that\nhe did not want any bullet proof vehicle and say, my people are more important\nand let the government protect them .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That is what the Cardinal said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
