It didn't sound too extremist. It more reflected the growing truth that even if Canadians delude themselves that they're only killing Taliban terrorists, and that we're forgiven anytime we say "sorry" for killing civilians, the Afghans themselves are growing increasingly angry about our presence there.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-31705594185583057222008-08-18T18:42:00.000-07:002008-08-18T18:42:00.000-07:00If only I'd trust our PM to do the right thing and...If only I'd trust our PM to do the right thing and pull our troops from A-stan. Given his habit of kowtowing to Bush Jr. on all but the most trivial of matters (and even then, in my opinion, only for the sake of optics), I fear that instead of packing up our duffel bags and ruck sacks, our troops will simply become direct extensions of Bush's military arm. Granted, we are already an indirect extension, but this will just make it that much more uncomfortable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
