Image of Norway As Seen By Foreigners

Dear Sir:

I thank you for permitting foreigners to send you a comment on how Norway is viewed outside of Norway. I take this opportunity to let you know what I think of your politicians activities in their attempt to present to the world the image of being "peace facilitators" which foreigners know is a failure. The most notable example is the Oslo Accord. I need not elaborate on the disaster it has been and the effects of increased political instability in the middle east. The whole world is subject to daily news reports of this failure. The current failure is in Sri Lanka which does not get reported on either in Norway or the world press because the Norwegian government itself is involved and takes great pains to suppress the truth.

Numerous reports indicate that the Norwegian government and Eric Solheim in particular have been providing funding, military assistance and political cover to the most ruthless terrorist organization in the world today, an organization linked to Al Quaeda but not second to Al Quaeda, namely the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in Sri Lanka who have been waging a terrorist campaign in Sri Lanka for the last 30 years.

Since 2002, the Norwegian government, in the guise of peace facilitators have been -

Funding LTTE terrorism in Sri Lanka via Eric Solheim using Norwegian taxpayers money.
Tamil terrorist supporters in Norway are free to collect funds for terrorism and are supported by Norwegian politicians and the police who have been bribed.
The Norwegian government provided the LTTE with technical aid, such V-Sat satellite communications equipment. It was sent as "diplomatic
cargo" via the Norwegian embassy.
There are recordings of the Norwegian ambassador coaching the LTTE on how to overcome problems when the LTTE have been caught in terrorist acts.
The heads of the monitoring mission set up by Norway has over and over again been caught supporting and guiding the Tamil Tigers in their terrorism.
The Norwegian government has been providing political cover for Tamil terrorists to travel overseas.
An ex-Tamil terrorist who was close to Solheim has stated that Solheim accepted bribes for helping the LTTE - it is said that his house in Oslo was a bribe.

I believe I have said sufficient for you to understand why I do not consider Norway a peace facilitator even though it is your country that is known throughout the world for it's peace prize. The other side of that prize is that Norway through Eric Solheim, is actively promoting terrorism in Sri Lanka. I trust that through public opinion Eric Solheim will be got rid of, and the government will ensure that Norwegian tax money will not fund Tamil terrorism or the NGO's supporting the LTTE.
These actions will help stop Tamil terrorism and bring peace to Sri Lanka which Norway is supposed to be doing. Norway will then revive it's image of a country promoting peace.

Yours truly,
