Sir:
Former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien and his cabinet members sayƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ they have worked hard to balance security, freedom in Canada, you said.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
Of course, they did, but theyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ didn’t careƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ two prairie strawsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ for the security and freedom of Sri Lanka, a sisiter Commonwealth nation, when they allowed the Tamil Diaspora collect two million dollars a monthƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ during their 13 years of governance, ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ to stuff the Tamil Tiger war chest to buy weapons to kill innocent civilians and watchƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ them haemorrhage that little island nation.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
Furthermore, his cabinet ministers Paul Martin and Maria Minna attended aƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ $60-a-plate fund raising dinner for the Tamil Tigers organized byƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ theƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Federation of Associations of Canadian TamilsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ (FACT) ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ in Toronto on 6 May, 2000, together with several of his back benchers.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ Jean Chretien’s grovernment refused to ban the Tamil Tigers as a terrorist organization when 27 other countries in the west and India had banned them. AllƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ this not to antagonize the Tamil community which had almost 100,000ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ votes distributedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ among ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ nine GTAƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ridings ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ for the taking.
ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚
The Tamil Tigers who were militarily wiped out on May 19, 2009 after a 27 year long war was the most ruthless terrorist group in the world who perfected the art of suicide bombings with an explosive jacket, which they detonated 388 times killing thousands of innocent civilians, is now used for copy-cat killings by terrorists around the world.

If not for the seriousness of the crime, it would be a joke to hear Western Nations allowing Tamil Tigers to operate in their countries on the pretext that they are not a threat to the respective Western nations, even though the Tigers continue to commit crimes against other nations using Western countries as a base. Classic example is Australia, which still has not banned the LTTE, using this same bankrupt argument.
