With increasing reports of Canadian soldiers being killed in this "so-called peaceful mission" I'm feeling Mr. Bush has Mr Harper by the hand leading him into a war not sanctioned by the majority of people in Canada.

The Taiban must be pleased that our traditional role of backing NATO forces now operating in Afghanastan is being questionaed.

Do we think if we play nice in the sandbox that the neighbourhood bullies will leave everybody alone? And if they kick sand in our faces, we should leave the sandbox to them and run home in tears? The proof of the courage of a nation in the face of adversity lies in its integrity in the face of hardships, not only when things are "nice". There is a time for war, and it's when the bullies want to rule. Doesn't anyone read history? Jack Layton reminds me of the Chamberlain of the thirties. Yes we went to war. Yes, it was horrific! But the alternative would have been more horrific. All of Europe, and I daresay, North America, would be speaking German by now, and every ethnic minority including Jews, blacks, browns, or any or old or infirm in mind or body would be cleansed by now.
I am a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces, and I would gladly go to Afghanistan today and put my life on the line for these freedoms we hold so loosely.

When General Hillier said that our soldiers would take casualties, it appears that many Canadians and our opposition parties seemed to have their ears closed. Now that we have experienced these predicted casualties, one particular party wants our troops out. Our troops are serving at the "sharp end" and are doing a magnificent job. We are there under UN sanction and Afghanistan's invitation. Carry On!

We are in a war there that is going to cost lives. My opinion all along has been that we can't be like the US. and run when the casualty toll rises. The press only focus on the blood and gore. What about the rest of the story, the rebuilding, education and healthcare we have helped provide in Afghanistan.

Isn't it strange that 99% of all the people who support this war are safely tucked away here. They have no family connections to this event. If they think it is so imporatant why don,t they drop what they are doing, join the military and go to the front line themselves. And for the record of course I support our military, but they at present are just being used by others for their own political means.

We need to support our troops and their families. We can't back out because we have taken losses. However, combat losses are one thing, friendly fire is another. Twenty percent of our losses come at the hands of the United States. What a way to run a war.

It's a good mission. Soldiers sign on to kill and be killed, its unfortunate but it's reality. It's been so long since we have been in a war that we forget what war really means.
Dave  ( September 7, 2006)
I supported the mission when it was first announced, and I support it now. If we change our mind when things get tough, what does that say about us? We need to support our troops, period.
