Minister Wimal Weerawansa yesterday said that United States was the most insecure nation in the world.

Speaking at the International Cuban Solidarity Day which was held at the Sawsiripaya in Colombo, Weerawansa said, “The country which is the most insecure in this world is US. They live with an insecure mentality. That is why the American police have imprisoned five Cuban patriots while labelling them as terrorists when those people have done nothing wrong.” (Jayashika Padmasiri)

Then why is Sri Lanka depending on aid, World Bank, and IMF, all financed by the "insecure" US?
Wimal keeps biting the hands that feed us, was his visa turned down? He seems to constantly pick on the US.
One thing is for sure, the US also had idiot politicians who keep shooting their mouths, and looking like fools.

There is another side to the story. US depends a lot on mid-east oil, and despite keeping a huge stockpile, they create divisions in oil rich countries to siphon off the valuable resource at their whim. What's more, China has invested trillions of dollars in the US economy. So , the Minister may be correct in the sense that economically the US is vulnerable.

I think he know well about insecure!! This is the reason he does not use a Maruti anymore.
I am sure all of you remember this guy said that when they come to power they will use the small Maruti cars. May be he thought this car was not save and secure.
May be he does not trust his own comb and this is why he go to hi-fi salons to get his make up and hair done.

Ossie Friday, 27 July 2012 03:23 PM

Mr Modawansa, Australia may be the 2nd unsecured country. That's why we see in the news that almost everyday people are trying to go there by fishing trawlers. If US award Green Cards to Srilankans without any restriction you may see how many people want to go to that unsecured country. Two prominent character of the present government also were residing there and still holding citizenship in that unsecured country.

Well said Minister. US is a gun ho place. It is unsafe even to step out to the streets. The irony however is that US happily intervenes and kills millions of innocent civilians to safeguard peace and safety in other countries.

US MAY NOT BE AS SECURE AS OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE THERE IS ABSOLUTE FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY THERE. POLICE ARE RESTRAINED TO A GREAT EXTENT. THEY CANNOT JUST ASSAULT SUSPECTS THERE. ARMY IS MOBILISED IN EXTREME EMERGENCIES ONLY. SADLY FOR THE US, THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT WHITE VAN MOBILISATION.
