Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

But, we can negotiate with the Taliban, can’t we? Taliban Jack says we can.
You know, maybe we can convince them to only throw acid in the faces of every other girl walking to school.
Or, please don’t cut off noses. But, you can cut off a single ear, since there will still be one left.
So many areas of common ground that can be negotiated with these people.
In related news AQ in Afghanistan (aka the Taliban) spokesthug Will Salaamyou congratulated various countries on their pullout from Aghanistan:
“We would like to personally thank the ISI, the government and the people of Pakistan for refusing to supply us with arms, shelter and access to Eric Margolis.”
“Thank you China for not supplying us with arms and intelligence; now we won’t be killing so many innocent people.”
“To Saudi Arabia, blessed be to God that their madrassas, financed by their royalty, no longer preach hatred of the west and Israel, ending the call to an entire generation to futile jihad that can only result in the slow death of so many Arab societies.”
“The mainstream media has our eternal gratitude for telling all sides of the Afghan story, not just those that put the US and their allies in a bad light. Thank you for reporting on new schools built, and criminal thugs prevented from murdering their own people. Thank God for them.”
He went on to say now he can return to his ancestral Arab homeland of Chechnya.
Sarc off.
Muslim women have to want to change their society, having the West over their shooting their husbands, fathers and brothers won’t get it done. They replace them at such an astonishing rate the even the plague of rabbits at University of Victoria seems a slo-mo affair.
I have lost interest in Afghanistan and it’s primate life-style. They are in an evolutionary process and will either grow out of their stupidity or not. We should not interfere with that process. We should only be sure to confine them to their own countries. That’s there are borders, no?
With all the security we are paying for now, surely we don’t need to worry about another North American attack … should we?
If they attack us again, why not simply attack them ten fold by air, but keep our boys and girls at home. No need to go there, just send the drones. That’s whey we have them, no?
Those throw-back don’t deserve to have even one of out soldiers die for their insanity.
Great post, Paul, and great video – you should post it on the main page, on this holiday weekend.
I must commend Time for once have journalistic integrity. May the western free world finally look upon the face of Islam and see it’s repugnant truth.
“Muslim women have to want to change their society”
Have you not read a single thing about Afghan women? … your statement is based on complete ignorance. They are being murdered by the bucket full trying to change their society … yet they come. “Their” men, die supporting our troops, by the bucket full, yet they come.
Sometimes I think I’ve been born in a time-warp … so bloody ignorant of the facts are some people and so bloody bigotted and full of hate are some fellow conservatives …
Furthermore, you can’t possibly insult our soldiers more than with the following stunningly ignorant, yet all too common, statement:
Those throw-back don’t deserve to have even one of out soldiers die for their insanity.
As a parent of one who has fought over there, I ask that you please never ever treat our soldiers like victims … or as felons. They volunteer to fight with eyes wide open and they do it for you, for each other, for themselves … but mostly for Aisha.
That ‘Taliban butcher’ was her father.
These tribal, backward people are beyond hope and not worth a single Canadian life. We cannot afford to “help” all these damn people.
Should’ve nuked Tora Bora on Sept 11. These people are accomplishing just what they set out to do: bankrupting the West and killing its best and bravest.

Kathy, we haven’t even begun to tap into our best and bravest in the fight that is yet to come..
I’m with Abe. Let them fester in their own ignorance or figure it out themselves. Either way, look after our own first. As long as we make sure that they cannot export their problems to our shores via terrorism or immigration. We have enough issues to solve without looking for more trouble overseas.
Abe’s right. We shouldn’t be sending our troops to die in other countries just to make those countries adopt our cultural standards, regardless of how repugnant we might consider their cultural practices to be. You can imagine how upset we would be if other countries garrisoned troops here because they didn’t like what we do. We have plenty of problems in N.America we should be dealing with instead of telling others how to run their lives. Lets start solving our own problems first.
Sure, Gus, let the Aisha’s fester in “their” ignorance. That makes about as much sense as saying that if your family is kidnapped and abused, we should just let them fester in their assailants’ ignorance.
Don’t forget: the Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan aren’t conscripts.
That woman in your picture would not be an issue if she was wearing her feminist approved potato sack.
Truly, if the feminists do not care about the females (the acid face washed ones), nor the gays about the gays, over there, why should I? Espousing the Christian sentiment that we, er, I, should care about my neighbor could get me in trouble at work if it got out that I was a Christian; and will certainly hurt me in looking for a job. I have battles to fight at home, and doing the work that the feminists and gays and other village peoples of the great red village is beyond my care.
The left wants Afghanistan back in Muslim fundamentalist hands. No amount of reason will deter them. The kids are brainwashed into this at school, at university. If you want a job in the socialist social services sector, you better pay lip service to this. Your treatment at the hands of your mandatory health care provider, the way your reams of tax documents get processed, the non-ability wogs you must face to get government red tape, are all in thrall to the progressives.
So what if Afghanistan falls to the muslim fundamentalists? They have many eligible voting cousins in Brampton and Toronto. The oil they control is not used by my tribe, but by the spineless Europeans, and the Japanese. Let those people solve the problem.
As for here, as a straight white male, all in all, I rather like the property rights ideas of the muslim fundamentalists. Those feminist dictated divorce laws are … not in tune with the global village, now are they? I will not comment on what the Koran says about abortion providers, abortion doctors, and abortion clinics. As for the other leftist factions, the aristocrats, the non-workers, the pension seekers, they too have a special place set aside for them. I am just a worker, I will keep on working. Them, no.
Maybe it is time to have an open mind, and accept the opposing view, listen to dialogue, and celebrate diversity. Maybe if enough of the infidel tax spenders get stoned to death, in a tasteful third-world way, the tax burden upon taxpayers will be such that the economy can get going again. It takes four taxpayers to support one tax spender, and only one pile of bricks to make them free. The progressives think it is fine over there. Maybe it is time to be fine over here. Our misunderstood fellow global villagers in the muslim fundamentalist community can share their unique perspectives and non-materialistic final solutions to the social problems that afflict this country.
The picture on the cover of Time was there to keep the troops in Afghanistan, not bring our boys and girls home.
We need to see how desperately lost and depraved the Taliban mindset is, but they will not be won over at the points of our guns. This is an evil which cannot be reasoned with, it must be annihilated, utterly vanquished.
They do because they believe. Change their belief system and they will stop doing. That is the only recourse.
I think Time means, “What happens if we leave Pakista…oh wait, what?”

Here’s an idea: let’s allow Muslim women to move to Canada, but not the men. The Taliban will be denied their wombs, and the patriarchal Islamic culture can’t accompany the women alone.
These tribal, backward people are beyond hope and not worth a single Canadian life
… a better example of bigotry, inhumanity, cruelty, and ignorance couldn’t be found if one tried. Building an argument for leaving based on strategic thinking is one thing, basing it on bigotry puts one in the same camp as the haters on the far left. It’s too bad that some let their hate of Islam, extend to the victims of Islam.
Furthermore, statements such as the above, made by someone who has admitted that she was for the mission initially only to spite the left, gives new meaning to sophestry … to think that any Canadian would happily send our soldiers to die in order to spite the left … then, turn and around and claim some sort of concern for those very same soldiers is repugnant.
They volunteer to fight with eyes wide open and they do it for you, for each other, for themselves
Lookie here Cjunk, nineteen year olds know nothing. Almost no one starts to thing critically until they reach the age of about 30. That is why you don’t see many 30 year olds joining the army to go and liberate the living dead. We disagree.
You have a personal stake the outcome of the war in Afghanistan, so I understand your view, but being objective about this myself, I cannot see anything further that is any good coming from flogging this misguided Obama led quagmire.
Our society is teetering on economic disaster, we have more corruption in our governments than ever before, we have more drug crime and unnecessary poverty, stupidity and obesity that we know what to do about.
That last thing we need is to be a never-ending war trying to reform the 1.2 BILLION Muslims who have a much stronger culture that we now do … thanks to multicultural insanity and phony inclusiveness.
Bring our troops home and let us get our own house in order so we can a least have a viable example of a sound society to show the Muslim world.
They look at the plethora of tattooed, pierced. half-naked teen-aged sluts walking our streets, the obese walking around eating giant ice-cream cones and the horrid gay parades we have in major cities … what are they supposed think about us as an example for their society.
Consider the huge number of single mothers, their kids running wild on the Internet and elsewhere in the real world … consider our idiotic educational system that teaches kids to pretend they are special and will be successful without competing for anything … I could go on, but I think you get the point.
It’s a bummer about the suffering of the women in the Islamic world, but our women went through the Suffragette movement, then the bra-burning 60’s and now the women’s movement is led by a bunch of man-hating, capitalism-hating lesbians.
See, humanity is a mess and that’s just the way it is. Only the fools on the Left think you can organize and control human behavior. That’s why we have a politically correct unwinnable war going on in Afghanistan. That is why I say end it now and let the chips fall where they may.
I think the term is “Live and Let Live”. Those old chestnuts stay around for good reason. They state the wisdom of the ages. We should not ignore what we know.
This is a horrible dilemma. We had an obligation, now fulfilled, to fill the vacuum created when taking out the Taliban in retaliation for 9/11. We can’t win this, only “they” can win this and “they” need the determination and resolve to do that. Issues to be weighed are:
1. Many of our knowledgeable people on the ground there think that staying will eventually help “them” acquire the wherewithal to police themselves against the Islamofascists.
2. Our troops are not conscripted, this is not Vietnam.
3. Canada cannot do this alone; NATO is untrustworthy because the Euroweenies will only do KP duty not front line duty.
4. Obama is untrustworthy as a leader of the free world.
5. The families of our troops who gave the ultimate sacrifice do not want it done in vain (It hasn’t been. But we do not want more deaths to become in vain knowing that the prospects of the Afghanistans policing themselves successfully is an extremely high risk proposition).
6. A majority of Canadians do not support more blood and treasure being spent there, it will consume huge political capital to stay.
7. PMSH has said we’re pulling out in 2011; there is nothing on the horizon that would make that decision appear to warrant a 180 degree turn.
8. On and on…
In short, we cannot afford to sacrifice our own fragile Conservative government in the face of progressive opposition who are like the disarmed Euroweenies, they will not fight. Given the horrendous government in the USA, we have our hands full fighting progressivism right here at home or we’ll end up like America. The Afghanistans are going to have to put up a bigger fight to police themselves. If they do that, then in 2012 when the USA has hopefully returned to sanity, we can reconsider what kind of military help Canada can provide. Again, this is a painful dilemma.
EBD, I can’t seem to muster enough outrage anymore. Too many problems and not enough resources to solve them. I truly care about all people in our world, but they need to solve their problems themselves. Eventually they too will evolve.
Lookie here Cjunk, nineteen year olds know nothing
Wow … just wow. Please take the time to actually check the ages of a great many of the Canadians killed and please take the time to actually educate yourself about what we have accomplished, about how massive the support among locals is, and above all, how utterly insulting it is to treat soldiers like victims or felons.
Like I’ve said above, there are strategic reasons for pulling out … but all you’ve presented is bigotry.
Abe, a couple of points:
– We’re not in Afghanistan “trying to reform 1.2 Billion Muslims.”
– Invoking the West’s obsese, and our “tattooed, pierced, half-naked teen-aged sluts,” and our “huge number of single mothers” and our “kids running wild on the Internet” and our “idiotic educational system” isn’t any kind of an argument for not helping brutalized Afghan women and children.
– You wrote: “Lookie here, Cjunk, nineteen year olds know nothing.” Even if that is true, it’s functionally irrelevant. Take a look at this the ages in this list of Canadian soldiers who have been killed in Afghanistan. Here are the first twenty:
Sergeant John Wayne Faught, Age 44
Sergeant George Miok, Age 28
Sergeant Kirk Taylor, Age 28
Corporal Zachery McCormack, Age 21
Private Garrett William Chidley, Age 21
Lieutenant Andrew Richard Nuttall, Age 30
Sapper Steven Marshall, Age 24
Lieutenant Justin Boyes, Age 26
Corporal Jonathan Couturier, Age 23
Private Patrick Lormand, Age 21
Corporal Jean-Francois Drouin, Age 31
Major Yannick Pepin, Age 36
Sapper Matthieu Allard, Age 21
Corporal Christian Bobbitt, Age 23
Private Sebastien Courcy, Age 26
Master Corporal Patrice Audet, Age 38
Corporal Martin Joannette, Age 25
Dubé, Martin, Corporal, Age 35
Bulger, Nicholas, Corporal, Age 30
Peloquin, Alexandre, Private, Age 20
nomdeblog:
9. You can’t get a majority government without Quebec pacifist votes … and you can’t get Quebec pacifist votes if you show overt support for the Afghan mission. The hacks in all three parties understand this perfectly. Hence, in the eyes of the hacks, we can’t get out fast enough, strategic, moral, and military interests be damned.
Anyone who does that should have their noses cut off in kind.
Nomdeblog, please don’t refer to liberals or leftists as “progressive”. There is nothing progressive about letting women be mutilated.
Sorry- it’s a quibble.
Abe, our problems don’t touch what is going on in Afghanistan.
Want to understand how liberals spin this? You need look no further than the “diversity curriculum” text I had to read this past semester for school (yeah, I know, but I shut up so I can get a job that pays more than $9/hour).
In the chapter dealing with Arabs/Muslims, it says something to the effect that these women are *not* oppressed because the social constraints under which they live require them to be “resourceful”; additionally, the clearly defined gender roles spare Muslim women from the “confusion” caused by the sexual revolution in America in the 1960s.
Yeah, if you read that and it made no sense, it means you’re not a liberal (congrats!). If you need a boost into realizing why that’s ridiculous, substitute “Muslim” with “Christan” and you’ll understand how liberals would never twist themselves into such ideological pretzels to explain why Catholic women aren’t oppressed.
But I still argue that the reason liberals give Islam a pass is not because of multiculturalism or diversity. It’s because they can hide behind radical Muslim ideology as said Muslims attempt to mow down and subjugate non-Muslims and specifically Christians. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, after all, and since things like the Constitution get in the way of the outright persecution of Christians letting another religion flatten us in the name of “diversity” works fine, too.
Zerbisias predictably personifies what Glavin meant by “self-serving and cowardly Code Pinkish yesbuttery”.

Cjunk add to your valid points about Quebec
1. Zero Conservative MPs in a mega city where the progressives (Liberals? whatever smokescreen name they use these days) all seem to have BA in Gender Studies.
2. We HAD a moral obligation in Afghanistan. We’ve filled it.
3. We have a moral obligation to our children to prioritize our battles and the biggest battle we have in front of us is the fact we hand our 6 year olds over to Dippers ( see #1 as to how that turns out in elections in mega cities)
Cjunk, thanks for posting this. It is a reminder of what we are up against…over there and maybe here soon.
This is coming to Canada if the Liberals and NDPs have their way. Moral relevancy and all cultures are equal, don’t ya know.
I have mixed feelings about whether to stay or pull out. Thoughts that go through my head are as follows:
This war is being fought in a boy scout kind of way and not all out like WW II was with the intent to win.
The west is not sure if it wants to win.
If we pull out, the Al Queda training comes will be re-established.
If we leave they won’t leave us alone, as they do not want our corrupt and immoral culture coming to their country and feel the Allah given right to destroy our culture. This is the premise that Dinesh D’Souza makes in his book “The Enemy At Home”.
Regrettably, I must concur fully with what Abe Froman said August 1, 2010 1:20 PM, with the exception of his their for there.
AND Kathy Shaidle.
cjunk and EBD, fine smart fellows that they are notwithstanding, need to grow up and realize that the project is absolutely, unequivocally hopeless.
You need only look at and assess the quality of ALL the western leaders — something we do here daily — to see that this project is doomed. Canada: follow the Dutch, GET OUT NOW. No blood for fairy tales. The greatest militiary machine in world history — the USA — which won WW2 in 4 years, can’t rout the Taliban after 9? Get it: it’s over.
Maybe, just maybe, it could succeed with prosperous fiscal surplus nations and with the right leadership, over, say 50-75 years (but still a long shot), but just take a look at the appeasing, spineless, western political class — the ones slowly and surely installing sharia in our own lands, the ones supporting the genocidal “Palestinians” and demonizing Israel, and ask yourself how you could be so delusional as to promote this foolishness, now made manifest by the Time cover, always a timely contra indicator.
As heart-breaking as that picture is, it’s not our problem or our concern. There’s nothing we can do about it. Get over it. And oh, we’re bankrupt.
“- Invoking the West’s obsese, and our “tattooed, pierced, half-naked teen-aged sluts,” and our “huge number of single mothers” and our “kids running wild on the Internet” and our “idiotic educational system” isn’t any kind of an argument for not helping brutalized Afghan women and children.”
Of course not, it’s an argument that we have no business telling other cultures what to do since we’re far far from perfect.
The best suggestion I’ve seen is Matt’s:
“allow Muslim women to move to Canada, but not the men. The Taliban will be denied their wombs, and the patriarchal Islamic culture can’t accompany the women alone.”
I’m with the Sausage King and Kathy Shaidle.
The caption on the Time cover reads:
What Happens if We Leave Afghanistan
What was happening in Afghanistan, and several dozens of Islamic nations besides before 9/11, was none of our concern before 9/11.
What has it to do with our mission there?
If there was ever to be any hope of lasting change, then that hope should have ended when Afghanistan was permitted to be an Islamic Republic under Sharia Law.
If the picture of that girl is supposed to be an argument for staying it is equally an argument for invading every Islamic nation where such things happen and that means all of them.
Get a grip on the ramifications of that fact.
Ken: Thanks for that. I too have very mixed feelings, but in the end I side with staying for strategic reasons. I do believe that if we don’t make Aisha our concern, that 911 will one day seem like a Sunday outting. Western nations have generally won conflicts by launching total war; it goes back to the Greeks. I fear that we have not grown past that … that dirty little wars like Afghanistan prove too icky, so we lose the will to stick it out … while total destruction of the enemy, including Aisha, remains our forte.
I expanded on this HERE.
I used to be for this. Now I’m not. WW11 lasted six years. This has taken ten so far and we are no farther ahead than when we started. We are in a fight to the death with Islam, what we see in England and France is coming to a town near us as we type. It is being funded and instigated by Saudi Arabia as we see in the ground zero mosque. We will win this war when we stop all Muslim immigration and start hanging people who we can’t deport who plot to behead our PM. If we can’t do this because of the “progressives” (which was a code word for communist created in the 1920’s) then the progressives must be destroyed. If we don’t do that the war for civilization is lost. No matter what happens in Afghanistan, if we keep importing Muslims at the rate we are we can turn Afghanistan to the most civilized model democracy in the world and it will make no difference to what happens to our civilization here.
“The Enemy at Home” gets closer to the real war we’re up against.
“The War” isn’t Afghanistan, nor Iraq, those are just tiny battles against Islamofascism which in turn is just one battle against utopianism. Other powerful utopians are in the White House and in Brussels.
We conservatives need to define the enemy if we expect to win. The enemy is utopians and they are a lot more powerful than I used to think. First 9/11 and now the Obamarx gang have caused us realize there will never be a peace dividend.
Utopians dominate our MSM and academia. Our war is against this progressiveness and we need to pick which hills to fight on. Obama has indeed changed the way we need to think about this. Our number one duty is protect our self interest in Canada and we are at a lot of risk against utopians.
Meanwhile when we do pull out of Afghanistan we need to remind the progressives that the resulting killing fields are on their conscience, of course they don’t have one, that’s what makes them utopian.
we can turn Afghanistan to the most civilized model democracy in the world
Most likely not, but if it were possible it certainly wouldn’t begin with allowing the government and it’s laws to be based on Sharia.
Sharia embeds the misogyny that the Time Magazine cover illustrates in the very heart of a society.
Well I agree we have our limitations as far as instituting a style of government similar to ours in a culture that basically can’t read or write and lives under threat of somebody or somebody else.
The advantage is we kill them there instead of here. Also we kill some from there who came here and went back. Bonus.
Its a simple statement this picture.
It shows the real face of Islam to Women.
Someone should do a montage of severed limbs, girls being mutilated, people being stoned, children walking mine field for adults. Retarded people being used as bombs. The sexual exploitation of both boys with girls for sick perverts.
The Koran makes for an ugly Religion. Outright Demon worshipers would be more merciful.
This running nightmare has the audacity to call itself Peaceful?
Barbarians playing at civilization while undermining all human achievement in all areas. For a mad desert pervert & murderer who raped his way about Arabia claiming to be Holy, while killing, looting entire communities. Than of course the mass rape of these hero’s on the Women. All in a false gods name.

Minuteman: “We are no further ahead than when we started.”
I suggest you spend an afternoon or evening reading the archives at Terry Glavin’s blog. He has spent a lot of time there over the last number of years and has worked with various Afghan people and groups, and he’s seen the progress firsthand. The usual suspects in the media focus on the – admitted – fact that the Taliban are still fighting, and they use that as evidence that there’s no progress, but in terms of security and quality of life for the (non-Taliban) Afghan people, there *has* been progress; it’s just a different measuring stick than the one typically used by the MSM. As Glavin points out, no one in the media is talking to the Afghan people, for some reason.
There’s certainly a strong argument to be made that it’s time for other NATO nations to take over Kandahar and relieve the Canadians – I believe that should happen – but the overall mission itself should not be abandoned.
Thank you, John Galt. I must disagree with you here –
“Of course not, it’s an argument that we have no business telling other cultures what to do since we’re far far from perfect.”
If the girl next door gets a tattoo and wears shabby clothes, this means I can’t stop a thug in Afghanistan from cutting off a woman’s nose? Why? There is no such thing as perfect, so that can’t be an impediment to getting into other people’s business. Especially when they are so keen on getting into ours.
EBD – Unless we are prepared to stay there forever, we must make them capable of fighting their own battle. That is what we are trying to do, from what I have seen without much success. We see the people we are training, kill our guys because they are really taliban, they sell there weapons to the enemy, steal as much kit as they can to sell to the enemy, and if the enemy pays them more they desert. When they are sent to the US for military training, they desert to Canada and declare refugee status. It might exist but there doesn’t appear to be much popular will to fight the taliban. Compare their behaviour to all the European exiles who escaped to Britain in WW11 to carry on the fight. There are tons of Afghan refugees in Canada, If they were joining the Canadian Forces in droves to get back into the fight I am sure we would here about it in the news.
In the Vietnam war, the ARVN was a lot bigger and did a lot more fighting than we ever read about in most history books. IN Afghanistan I don’t see a large well motivated Afghan National Army fighting for their country’s freedom. Ten years after this started, its still NATO doing all the heavy lifting.
I wonder how many Canadians died liberating Holland in WWII so they could leave before the fight is over now. Holland has a Islam problem of their own when it blows up there who will ride their wild horses then.
minuteman, I read about that today.
In the same piece, I believe, it was pointed out that the desertion rate of the Afghan Army is … 25%.
There’s certainly a strong argument to be made that it’s time for other NATO nations to take over Kandahar and relieve the Canadians – I believe that should happen – but the overall mission itself should not be abandoned.
A strong argument, maybe, but not convincing. No NATO nation is gonna take over the Canadian Boy Scout role. A mission which has no prospect of succeeding, should be abandoned.
No blood for fairytales!
Get out, and stay out, of muslim nations. No matter how noble our objectives, their perception is that we are in a War Against Islam.
Fight, root and branch, the muslim brotherhood sponsored cultural jihad at home and end muslim immigration.
The West is morally and financially bankrupt and does not have the will to do the kind of nation-building that Terry Glavin rhapoidizes about.

Abe Froman at August 1, 2010 1:20 PM>
Well said – couldn’t agree more!
We shouldn’t be in Afghanistan worrying about how they wish to maim or kill each other. They’ve been doing it for thousands of years.
What we should be doing is staying out of their affairs and closing our borders so that they don’t bring their affairs into our culture and society.
That is why the left gets it wrong every time and on all accounts.
The progressives don’t speak out because if they could they’d silence Conservatives using the self same methods. Face it they hate us, they hate freedom and liberty more than anything.
I’d like to give every single woman and child 100 poisoned pills to place in tea when the Taliban men folk come acalling. I’d love to give the women the power to quietly kill those murdering fascists medievil tastards enmasse.
I’m sure that’s deemed a hate crime under Section 13, but if I could I would give those women the power to kill every single vile medieval Taliban like male.
Europe looked pretty hopeless in 1939 too. Maybe we should have left and not let one man die for the sake of Hitler’s manifesto of hate. England would have soon gone under without material aid. None of our business I suppose. Jews, Gypsies, commies, union leaders etc., what were they to us. I say fight them there in their own pig sty rather than in our own neighbourhoods.

“They volunteer to fight with eyes wide open and they do it for you, for each other, for themselves … but mostly for Aisha.”
Agree with you that our troops are noble and brave, but would have to disagree with you as to why they are there. As you stated they are OUR troops sent on missions on behalf and paid for by the Canadian taxpayers. They are not a separate entity or individual who has the right to use our Canadian Armed Forces as their private humanitarian order. Otherwise they could have joined Oxfam or Blackwater or whatever private enterprise they wished to chose.
Again they are our troops, and we do have a say as to whether or not they should be interfering in the cultural cesspits of the world or guarding our borders from them. That is why they were recruited and that is what they are paid to do.
