Public opinion will change. People misunderstand the war. It is perceived as just an extension of the American war on terrorism, and for that reason alone people reject it. If people truly believe that Canadians are in control I am sure they will change their minds.

Somehow this always turns out to be an attack on my character. So childish. I took all your advice and "backed up" my claims with why I believed that. I think I did it pretty well. You keep using that excuse against me but its so shallow. Why do so many of you just freak out at my posts?!  I...

In recent days he has become an increasingly outspoken advocate of Canada's involvement in Afghanistan. Whether the Forces are or should be as important as multiculturalism or medicare may be -- to understate the matter -- a question of some debate. But that debate is a debate for, by, and among...

alright...most popular person alive

zipperhead "No one lives in tar paper shacks unless they want to, no one dies on the street unless they want to." You must not fully understand the complexities of life if you really believe that statement of yours. You really think people want to live in poverty?

Who do you think is the worlds most popular person.... Im willing to say the American President.... jesus doesnt count :P

Jack Layton isnt whining. He represents a significant portion of Canadians who believe there should have been a public debate over this. Unfortunately it is too little too late. The debate should have been before the Liberals decided we should go in there. Anyway, dont take it as whining. hes...

Should our PM do more?  Well for one thing I dont know what our government is doing, but I am sure that our diplomats in Iraq and throughout the middle east are working hard. There are people that do have that specific job. Will we ever know exactly what we are doing? Our PM seems to be the...

Ok anyway..... are we gonna have a discussion about this? I think that article gives a great defence of free speech by asking the central question, should we abandon our values in order not to offend some?  Controversy is the nature of free speech. Christians, muslims, hindu's and even atheists...

Im closed minded? Making statements like that says it all. This is a forum, im here to engage in discussion. Sure, I believe minimum sentences for some crimes are warrented, but as a general rule no freakin way!  Crime is not a black and white affair, I believe fully in putting our trust in a...

Well thanks everyone for enlighening me. Seriously I have learned a lot from listening to all of you. And no Im not just sitting here laughing. I agree with some of your points, I think you said it best Edward Campbell why we need to be in Afghanistan. What if we turn around the argument...

Well I am glad I can get a debate started here. First off, I personally believe that Canada should decide its own foreign policy,not be subject to the American foreign policy. Afghanistan is NOT our priority, If anyone here can explain to me how fighting in Afghanistan enhances our national...

Why are we in Kandahar? Simplistically put we are in Kandahar in large measure because the previous government wanted to find a way to improve our relations with the Bush administration, and ponying up forces for a major deployment in Afghanistan was one way to show our bona fides...

CHILDISH. Irresponsible. Hate speech. A provocation just for the sake of provocation. A PR stunt. Critics of 12 cartoons of the prophet Muhammad published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten have not minced their words. They say that freedom of expression does not imply an endorsement of...
