Politics Muddy Tsunami Relief Efforts

It's called "politics" when the government objects to the U.N.'s plan to survey and supply relief to the terrorists in Sri Lanka. The terrorists are called "rebels" by Reuters, despite the fact that the Tamil Tigers are officially considered terrorists by the U.S., Britain, India, Australia and Malaysia. Is there a terrorist that Reuters doesn't like and support??

Reuters isn't the only one supporting the terrorists. Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin recently attended a fundraising for a group that supports the Tamil Tigers, a group even the Canadian Globe and Mail describes as,

The U.S. State Department has branded the Tigers a terrorist group. They are believed responsible for assassinating two heads of state, including Rajiv Gandhi, have deployed suicide bombers against civilians, and may still be abducting child soldiers into their army.

Despite this, Canada regularly meets with the terrorists.

Ottawa characteristically takes the middle ground. It has banned Tiger members from entering Canada and keeps them on a list of proscribed terrorist groups whose assets must be frozen if found here. But it permits our high commissioner in Colombo to meet with their senior leaders.

When did Leftists and Liberals become so desperate that they were willing to accept support, contributions, and the participation of terrorists in their politics? How can anyone morally support suicide bombers who target civilians and who abduct child soldiers into their army? Has Canada no shame? Or the BBC that seems to actually bask in pleasure at the terrorists and their acts as they do in this article? I guess Canada, the BBC, Reuters and Kofi Annan missed this backgrounder on the terrorist group by the Council of Foreign Relations. No doubt, Canada, the BBC, Reuters and Kofi Annan also missed the report on recruitment of child solders by the Leftist Human Rights Watch as well.

Our War on Terrorism ought to be a war on the countries and institutions and the media that also supports, encourages, and enables terrorists in Sri Lanka and elsewhere. Put Canada and the United Nations high up on that list.
