When is the "diaspora" going to send their children?

"Diaspora" had already sent their children to the pits by polarising them to the extreme with 'venom' against sinhalese people. Look at the tamil gangs in Canada/UK etc fighting each other. It's very sad to see those 'educated' LTTE tamil supporters polarising their children with poisonus false propaganda. It is already boomaranging on them. Given that almost 21,261 young tamils are perished and the SL tamil immigrants are hovering around one million in other countries, it is not surprising that the Tamil population in SL is less than 5% now. Have this "Diaspora" learned from the past mistakes and try to come up with a practical plan? I do not think so .. look at the "Pongu Tamil" celebrations carrying a map colouring 1/3 of the country and 2/3 of coastal line for less than 5% population while majority of them living outside of it. What a disaster, collective 'egos' could create .......
