I should say that from 1983 up until 2002 there was war. When the 2002 peace accord was signed, the country was completely in harmony. How did harmony come? Did anybody tell them? No. Really, both kinds of people want to live in peace. But nobody wants peace; the money is playing the game there. Even in the last presidential election, not a single person from the northern part was allowed to vote.
Even in Canada they don't want peace. That's why I mentioned it to you. If peace comes, some people are going to lose their luxury life here. Easy money, tax-free money--that money is gone unless they just stop. Peace in Sri Lanka cannot be achieved. People in Sri Lanka won't believe in peace. I have seen it. After 22 years, I visited in 2002. I went around Sri Lanka. I was even travelling at midnight. Nobody asked me if I was a Tamil or a Sinhalese. Even when we went to the roadside boutique to buy things, they were treating us like their own family and they were giving us directions about where to go.
So peace can be achieved, but nobody wants peace because people are losing money.
