Mr President,
You should have told the world how the uneducated terrorists have killed all educated tamils such as
- Kadiragamar -Oxford
-Neelan Thiruchelvam- Harvard
-Kathish Loganathan- New York
-Dr Rajini Thiranagama
Because in the new world of tamils any one who questions the idiocracy of a grade 5 drop outmanic depressive is being listed as a traitor and hence deserve death.
Latest is Mrs Velayuthen !
No wonder they are sacrificing all tamil kids and interllectuals as the no one should be above a grade 5 drop out idiot! |

Why wasn't the Vice Chancellor of the Oxford University Chris Patten present to welcome the Head of State HE Mahendra Percival Rajapaksa the President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka?
According to the Govt there does not seem a difference between the Oxford Union and the Sri Lanka Students Union of the Oxford University but Chris Patten has thought there is!!
