As elder citizens and who should make understanding and goodwill of present and future generations must make decisions pertaining to the peace and constructive to every body without making things worser. As US point of view you must think that you have made so many rash decisions in the past and now your own citizens regret them. Therefore you should allow Sri Lanka as third world country who wish live in peace to become such citizens in the name of God who have preached peace to every human in the world.
