Time To Reconsider???



With the five year anniversary of September 11th yesterday came another milestone. According to an editorial in the Huffington Post (click here)
more Americans have died in Iraq than died on Sept. 11th. A little closer to home (for me at least) is the tangentally related finding that as of Sept. 6th of this year 32 Canadian soldiers and one diplomat have died in Afghanistan (ref).

While I don't agree with Jack Layton's call to unilaterally pull Canadian troops from Afghanistan I think that we need to rethink our involvement in Afghanistan in particular and to re-evaluate the so-called war on terror.

Maybe it's time to send Therzo over on a diplomatic mission....
