Mr. Sirisena ...hope you will also visit Basil enquired how he gets on there. At the same time it is also advisable to get US citizenship for your family members during your visit as the days are very becoming not so good and you may need US protection.

Sir,please ask Obama for an air craft carrier so Sri Lanka can chase away the Indian fisher men who cross over into Lankan territory,which will allow the northern fisher men to go about their trade peacefully.

Well, visiting the two masters who helped them to come to power. India and US. No surprise in UN agreeing to postpone the report on war crimes until elections are over. Still some people are on fairy land.

ANTON Thursday, 19 February 2015 07:22 PM

I THINK WE CAN USE "LEAVE FOR THE UNITED STATES"

Please do not take 250 entourage complete with 100 hangers-on,hairdressers, lady chaperones, and hire 50 limos for all to sight-see

Wellwisher Thursday, 19 February 2015 06:34 PM

There is nothing wrong in that usage. You can say "the united states"

Leave SL or visit US???

gobbaya Thursday, 19 February 2015 06:06 PM

whether the so called deshapremi like it or not....pushing away the west will not achieve anything when it comes to UNHCR.....unless SL is a global super power....hence these visits & rebuilding strained relations with the west are a necessary nuisance....the art is to try and being non aligned.... via DM Android App
