Steyn is speaking the truth here.

When US, British, and American C-130s were deemed "too effective" in the eyes of the Muslim Indonesian government during the opening days of the Tsunami disaster--the government acted, and acted quickly.

The immediately denied all diplomatic clearances to the relief aircraft flying in medicine, doctors, rescue equipment, water, food, and shelter and reissued the aircraft on those slot times during nighttime operations.

The west had committed the "sin" of showing up their Muslim betters. Al Jazera reporters even complained to high ranking Indonesian officials that the infidels were appearing on Internationale television with their aircraft, and it had to stop.

No, I am not making this up.

I meant to say US, British, and Australian aircraft above. The Aussies were amazing.
