Naivete isn't the word for them...
You've got to be kidding me...
Lift ban on Hezbollah
Three Canadian opposition MPs travel to Lebanon, via Syria, at the behest of an organization (the National Council on Canada-Arab Relations) that has clearly supported Syria in the past (see Steve Janke's site) and are toured around Lebanon by Hezbollah... Then they declare that Israel is the party at fault.
And even better, two of them explicitly call for Canada to take Hezbollah off of the Terror List. Borys Wrzesnewskyj (Lib-Etobicoke) and Peggy Nash (NDP-Parkdale-High Park) spoke out and said that we should allow Hezbollah to raise funds in Canada and we should help their internal power structure shift from military to political activities.
Could someone please educate these two that Hezbollah was formed as a militant organization and is only political because it gains them power within Lebanon as a way to shield their military actions against Israel? Isn't it also clear that Hezbollah is simply a military front for Syria and Iran to attack Israel without provoking attacks on their own countries? Hezbollah has NO INTEREST in becoming a purely political entity. There is nothing in it for them as a Shia organization could never rule Lebanon by democratic means due to demographics.
If we are truly at war with the terrorists, supporting the enemy would constitute treason. Perhaps someone should remind them that scoring political points at home isn't worth the potential consequences.
