Yes, dare I say it, another good "dutchman". I would like to point out one report on Canada's role in Afghanistan, as noted as well in a Globe article, that

"Canadian soldiers are ready to kill and die in Afghanistan if need be to keep that country from ever again becoming a nest for terrorists, says the general who will command the troops in Kandahar."

Through Borque Newswatch to the the headline in the G&M reads "Canadian soldiers 'prepared to kill'"

They are trained Canadian soldiers are they not? In the military? With guns, going to Afghanistan, not Tim Hortons on base. I find it all so nieve.

I also took the time to read Kate's profile from the archives. Some great answers, she is definitely her own woman.
