why the double standards on the war on terror?

Question

Has anyone heard of the Tamil Tigers? Well it's a terrorist group set up with the help of American and British supporters, their main objective is to gain a homeland for the Tamil people (people of Tamil nadu India) of the World, as there are about 50 million around the world but has no country, these people are fighting the democratically elected Sri Lankan government, back in the days the capitalist west supported the Idea simply because they wanted to bring down the socialist government of sri lanka (didn't matter that it was elected by the people)

These terrorist perfected the suicide bombing long before the Muslims did, they even killed a former Indian Prime Minister (Rajiv Gandhi) using a suicide bomber, before 9/11 ALL Muslim related suicide bombing were under 30 where as the tigers had carried out over 260, NOW WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD IS FIGHTING A SO CALLED WAR ON TERROR THE WESTERN COUTRIES ARE PUSHING THE SRI LANKAN GOVERNMENT TO NEGOTIATE WITH THESE TIGERS, WHY?

Devora K:
Neither did Iraq, then why are Americans there?

Oh!!! I forgot to mention 65000 of our people have died due to these terrorist, It don't make it right for some one to steel some one else’s land using suicide bombers and forced child soldiers

Answer 1

Sure sure BUT they didn't bring their terrorism to NewYork City and constantly threaten the USA because they consider us infidels and we support our only true friend in the Middle East Israel

Answer 2

The aim is completely different thay want a place to call home not assimilation which is the aim of the muslim extremists

p.s the war on terror also includes jimah islamiah, it isn't just al quada

and you won't hear everything in the news The assasination in no way affects the way of life for brittish american or australian but I think 180 australians dead by muslim extremists might happen to make people angry and therefore be targeted

Answer 3

I hear you, my brother. Politics, oil, who knows? All I know is that it's messed up.
