    Miliband's campaign: Blind to the truth and bedding falsehoodsby Saratha RAJENDRAN

    Historians give credit to the British for creating most

    of the internal conflicts in countries which were under

    British colonial rule (Ex: Rhodesia, India, Pakistan

    and Sri Lanka).

    A most apparent case study would be the British

    Labour Party's decision to move from the Tories'

    policy of humanitarian relief in Yugoslavia to

    threaten, then actual, aggression against the Serbs.

    By rewarding each separatist group in turn, it

    achieved NATO's covert objective of Balkan

    fragmentation.

    Having said that, why would the same Labour Party's

    David Miliband be interested in interfering with a

    national issue in Sri Lanka soil? The latest exhibition of impunity unfolds as the former British

    Foreign Minister appears in yet another Channel-4 outcry of "possible war crimes".

    "Incompetent neo-imperial meddler", is how Sri Lanka regards Miliband who has always fallen

    short of responsible statesmanship on his convictions, backed by purely biases lacking in facts.

    As Sri Lanka recalls, Miliband on April 28, 2009 called on the Sri Lankan Government to halt its

    operations and allow a British-French joint humanitarian rescue mission to free trapped

    civilians: a suggestion which came only after the Sri Lankan military rescued over 114,000

    Tamil civilians held as hostages by the LTTE.

    This simply can't be a result of bureaucratic delays that took him so long to figure out the need

    for such a rescue mission. Therefore, it is more likely that the lobbying of the proxy LTTE global

    front groups had prompted the decision.

    So, is David Miliband having another banana moment? Mr

    Bean-like pose at the 2008 Labour conference.

    Grave concern for native Britions! A recent advertisement by the proxy

    LTTE front Tamil for Labour in UK.

    Despite the foul cry of possible war crimes

    the former British Foreign Minister repeats

    his arrant nonsense, failing to neither

    mention nor acknowledge the rescue of more

    than 280,000 Tamil civilians forcibly held at

    gunpoint by the LTTE during the final stages

    of the Sri Lanka conflict.

    Having tried to destroy Sri Lanka by

    resuscitating the LTTE, he has now decided

    to introduce incriminating evidence to get rid

    of Sri Lanka through a flawed "judicial"

    process. Perhaps, he too did a Goebbels

    thinking that a blatant lie repeated many

    times over would pass for the truth

    ultimately.

    Adoration of the LTTE

    Miliband, during the final days of the Sri Lankan conflict, was emphatic that the LTTE terrorists

    need not surrender and that their taking of hostages would succeed. Hence, Miliband himself

    stands accountable for further endangering the lives of those civilians and making the terroristband assume that they could further the suffering of the Tamil hostages (miraculously rescued

    by the skilful operations of the Sri Lankan Security Forces).

    It is only natural that affluent pro-LTTE lobbyists are in a position to sway MPs in the ranks of

    Miliband with high-end life styles in campaigning for a 'war crime' probe. It is apparent that

    pooh-pooh British lawmakers such as Miliband cannot depend entirely on the votes of the

    enlightened native Britons to win elections. Therefore, they bank on organised immigrants

    capable of delivering block votes to politicians and doling out campaign contributions to them in

    return for their services.

    Wikileaks revelation

    "Miliband championed aid to Sri Lanka to win votes of Tamils in UK", one of his own Foreign

    Office staff claimed according to a leaked US Embassy cable.

    According to the revealed diplomatic cable, MP Miliband has admitted, that while he was the

    British Foreign Secretary, he spent 60 percent of his time on Sri Lanka in early 2009 in view of

    LTTE sympathisers' votes numbering over 300,000 in Labour constituencies.

    Irony of polarisation of global politics

    According to a US State Department Country

    Report the LTTE terrorists continue to raise

    funds. The LTTE rump is spending its funds on

    cynical propaganda and a diplomatic war against

    Sri Lanka with the help of influential Western

    politicians in the likes of Miliband, a section of the

    media (Channel-4) and some desperate clans of

    the lucrative human rights industry (Amnesty

    International).

    Sri Lanka, which eliminated the military muscle

    of a blood thirsty terrorist outfit banned in over

    32 countries, is being meddled with impunity

    instead of being praised and helped with its

    reconciliation, resettlement and rehabilitation

    efforts.

    It was no secret that the LTTE terrorists were collectively assisted to the hilt in unleashing hell

    on Sri Lankans especially Tamils including children, the elderly, and the disabled and injured by

    the same saviours of humanity and human rights in the West.

    Heinous crimes the LTTE committed for over three decades against civilians are only too well

    known and it is those atrocities, besides the narcotic trade, gun running and money laundering,

    that compelled the US, the EU, Canada and many other countries to ban the outfit as a foreign

    terrorist organisation (FTO). Even the UN named and shamed the LTTE terrorists for crimes

    against children. It contains "credible evidence" of the LTTE war crimes. The LTTE's military

    leaders may be long dead but their confederates must be held answerable for those barbaric

    crimes, including those who championed the terrorist cause openly with impunity.
