Over the last fifty years, we've tried everything to solve the national problem. We have pinned the nation's hopes on wars and ceasefires, elections and all party conferences, international mediation and divine intervention... and yet all around us our young people and old are continuing to suffer the consequences of this national divide.
Perhaps its time we took a different approach? As two of our finest entertainers demonstrate in this clip below, there might be a Baila Solution to the national problem. Let our leaders bugger each other with talk of Military and/or Political solutions but its time they stop buggering the rest of us.
Leave us, to us...
Good stuff 'eh? Appu would certainly ask for more...

Appu also thinks "Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhalese"
Tiger acolytes aside,
Rauf Hakeem of the SLMC was the first to blast Sarath Fonseka for saying that the "Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhalese"
Shortly afterwards, the CPA banged out a Press Release that raked Sarth Fonseka for saying that the "Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhalese"
Now, we're told, the UNP has also joined in the assault on Sarath Fonseka for saying that the "Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhalese"
haiyoo....
Appu can't understand what the fuss is all about???
Afterall;
its 50 years since SWRD won on the Sinhala Only platform,
36 years since Ceylon became Sri Lanka,
35 years since standardization was introduced,
27 years since the government burned down the Jaffna library, and
25 years after JR's government orchestrated 'anti-tamil riots'and blamed it on the Sinhalese people!
So, so... how is this news?
Sri Lanka has been, and will be, a Sinhala Buddhist country for a very long time.
Stop picking on Sarath Fonseka.
Fonny's job description says that he must ensure that "Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhalese" and the man is doing a fine job.
Ironically, Fonny is only saying what Velu has always said:
"Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhalese" !!
Isn't that Velu's raison d’ĂȘtre?
Appu has seen and heard this so long, from so many sides, that even Appu is thinking that "Sri Lanka belongs to the Sinhalese"
Shaaa! Nothing like asking for more...
