Maybe we ought to consider a Golden Rule in foreign policy: Don’t do to other nations what we don’t want happening to us. We endlessly bomb these countries and then we wonder why they get upset with us?
I’m a Canadian citizen. But I always want to feel at home in Sri Lanka. I’m a member of both countries.
