Why we don't invite him again to SL.
Whether he accepts or not he should be given honorary citizenship in Sri Lanka.

Our Freedom Struggle: Exposing Rotten Tomato!
Tamil:
Hello Mr. Paul Harris! I had a chance to listen your speech. I like to confess first, it was very intriguing and inspiring speech. Since you are an 'expert' in this matter, can you tell me how did you conduct your research?
Paul:
I read all the news papers that came out within couples of years from the Colombo based news houses.
Tamil:
Anything else!
Paul:
Since, you are a pain in my neck! I will tell you more, my friend. I traveled in all the trouble waters and I saw things. Finally, I combined all the facts and drew my own conclusion.
Tamil:
Did you have any chance to live in Northern and Eastern parts of Island for, let's say, at least a year?
Paul:
North and East! Are you crazy, man? I didn't see any five stars hotels there.
Tamil:
Did you interview any Tamils in North and East, at least in South?
Paul:
Can you count Douglas Devanatha and V.Anandasangaree as Tamils?
Tamil:
I doubt it! Since, you are a crooked intellectual I like to ask a question.
Paul:
That is a only thing you are doing since we met.
Tamil:
Let's say, When a few armed men killed 13 soldiers, what a 'democratically elected' Government should have done?
Paul:
I don't know! Go after those armed men? I guess.
Tamil:
Do you know what happened in 56, 77, and 83?
Paul:
Sri Lanka won Cricket World Cup?
Tamil:
Do you know how we felt when Sinhalese Governments had driven out Tamils from their lands to colonize the East?
Paul:
Colonized the East! I thought British Empire had ended those policies in 1948. Wait! Who colonized...what?
Tamil:
I have to leave now! It seems to me you have to do some real homeworks.
Paul:
Wait! Where are you going now? Who will answer to these questions? Can I ask Sangaree?
