Becoming the very first Sri Lankan leader to be featured in TIME magazine’s TIME 100 Top Ten, Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa has reached much popularity leaving behind all other top political icons and celebrity stars in the world and some Hollywood superstars in 2011.
Rajapaksa is on top of ‘Robin Hood of the information age’, Julian Assange who acquires secret and often controversial documents from government and corporate sources and then releases them to the public via whistle blowing site WikiLeaks.
President Rajapaksa who pioneered Sri Lankan island nation’s crush on terrorism had reached top among the Unite States rulers including president Barack Obama, who received Nobel peace prize for none other than talking in 2009, American first lady Michelle Obama, US Vice President Joe Biden, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, , US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and US Potential presidential candidate Republican Party's most dynamic star Sarah Palin.
With so little power Mahinda Rajapaksha achieved so much and pushed the Sri Lanka to greatness during last six years. When he got elected; with a narrow margin over his challenger, his party couldn't even elect the speaker of the parliament; and the ruthless terrorist group LTTE was running wild in the country, bombing buses and public places filled with civilians. Within several years, Rajapaksa managed to win the excess majority of the parliament to his side, defeated the world’s most ruthless terrorist group (according to FBI), and generated an economic boom in island nation, while the whole world was tumbling into the worst recession in recent history.
