Ahh see Unf, I am so strongly against this "mission" that I am on a totally opposite side. I don't believe that a few large north american governments actually have my interests at heart. If I truly thought that was the case (that most of our adventures overseas had the "common man" interests at the heart) then I would possibly be more inclined to rethink my position on Afghanistan as far as the Canadian involvement therein
As it stands, to me the whole thing stinks to high heaven, and as I said if we can't with our technology win the "war" there is NO chance of doing it the "old fashioned" way
With our country in a huge defecit situation we have to cut some expenses, so even in a basic economic sense, not feeling the dramatic urgency of "they hate our freedoms and they'll hit 'us' again" I personally don't see how even the monetary expense can be justified on such an obviously fruitless, nebulous endeavour , much less the human cost
Just my POV tho
I agree with you in principle about the 'frustration' of this war, but if Canada
wants to walk away from being part of NATO, they should do it when they are
not in the middle of a battle, but during a time when Canada is not taking
part in a war such as afghanistan. They agreed to be part of NATO, and
they can't just quit when times are tough, it must be a decision by NATO
members as a group.
