This is a great effort by these people and the ven. Thero who protested. This is a trap layed by the strategic thinking of the US government. As they say there are no free lunches.

There where free lunches and it was called "Colombo Plan" aid. The class M2 locomotives from Canada was free lunch. In Sri Lanka, jokers want everything free from the government and protest when we get free lunch from overseas.
