In Canada, I’m still hearing about new casualties of Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan and I have to say that I personally don’t want to know anymore. It’s so depressing and sad that I am getting numb by it all. Thank goodness, Canada didn’t support the Iraq invasion.

And, it doesn’t do anything good to the morale of the troops either to hear about more people dying. Let’s face it, no troops are coming back for a long time. Withdrawing them now only fuels the insurgency and Al-Qaeda and makes them stronger. I still thought that it was stupid to invade Iraq but since it’s been done, you can’t go back. The only way is to try to stick with the plan. Leaving now only makes it much worse for the Iraqis, which, really was supposed to be the real reason, right? Let’s not talk about the oil either.
