Can you not remember MR, Dinesh G. & Co going and begging the EU to interfere in our internal matters afew years ago? Some have short memories indeed or are simply ignorant. If it were'nt for India & the International community our rulers will run riot. The later comment is applicable for the UNP as well.

Fonseka openly told the BBC that he will testify against Sri Lanka for war crimes and if UNP loves the country and it's soldiers should protest Fonseka the traitor

Well said Jeffry. One can imagine the mindset of the followers by the shameless comments they make. Just think of those who back these ruthless rulers, though few have some academic qualifications their way of thinking is pathetic

Put JVP into the front row of the protest. They are the main culprits behind this and they are the main team who spoil war hero into a dirty politician. Where is Mangala put him also and let Arjuna also to come and stand beside mangala.I hope Chandrika will also join this ???

To all those who brag "country first", I would say "patriotism is the last resort of the scoundrel". Such brain-washed idiots are the biggest asset this government is having to win elections after elections.

talking against country is completely different from talking about human rights violations. The latter is a crime against humanity and whoever is found commiting such a crime must be stopped and tried for this crime. It is the worst kind of crime that one could be charged with and those found guilty are inhuman and mentally unstable.

How come? If a few have committed the worst crime in the book they should be tried and punnished. Why should the country as a whole suffer? It never happened in the case of Sadam, Pol Pot, and other crazies in the world, only the individuals are condemned. This idea about of one for all and all for one crap is a political slogan when they get themselves stuck in deep shit otherwise 'api wenuwen api'

The international community knows the news. What can they do when the retired army general breaks the law of confidentiality. Is there any point going on the streets and protesting?

None of the other governments have shown this kind of brutality against a defeated or any other person. MR is brutal. We thought his brutality is only for Prabhakaran. This brutality is for his survival. Every president's second term was not better than the first in SL. This guys's second term is going to be the worst.

What could the International community do ? It is a domestic affair. It should be resolved within the country.

Whatever happens at home they would run crying foul to the so called International Community, and who are they US and Europe. There are prominent lawyers in SL and a very fair judiciary system. Why not go to them and fight for justice if any injustice has been caused. Even JR and PREMADASA also would have done the same if they had confronted this person and with the evidence on hand to prosecute.

Karu Jayasuriya, protest is not going to stop SF from evading the law. He has to be dealt as per the law of Sri Lanka. Running to the international community has to relevance and none of them could interfere with our internal affairs. Therefore dont waste time and money on protest for its of no use.

General Fonseka was a national asset and he would have been a ideal ambassordor for the country in the global stage as a man who drafted a succesfull counter action plan against a deadly Ltte outfit. Rather than govt. using him to draft a "Sri Lankan version of sandharhust military college" by using the knowledge General has with him which would have brought immense economic benefits plus major image building exercise to this small island. They are going on a rampage.
I feel sorry for poor MR who is in a process of destroying his image.

Gamini when a dictator rules the country its the International community who should intervene. We are suffering due to the high cost of living and corruptions, still stupid comments are made in favour of this . If we keep quite then Only Rajapakshe rajawaru will rule the country for antother 30 years. May god save Srilanka.

Sad day in Sri Lanka's history. As if victory with 57% wasnt enough. My children can go to school today and I dont need to worry whether they will come home because of General Fonseka. How do we as a people show gratitude? We drag him from his house like a common pick pocket.
