So Bob Rae now supports a continued role for Canada in Afghanistan, specifically training the police and security forces for corrupt government that routinely tortures its own people?
What a difference four years makes. Wasn't it Bob Rae complaining about Bush's War and that Canada has no business in Afghanistan just a few years ago?
The only way I would support any continued Canadian presence in Afghanistan, be it military, diplomatic or otherwise is IF the Karzai regime is abolished, an interim leadership group elected from among elected members of the Afghan assembly and the planning of fresh presidential elections.
Canada should not agree to provide one more soldier, or one more dime in support of a failed foreign policy or in support of Karzai's government.
I get that the Taliban are evil, killers, rapists and cutthroats to a man. But placing Canadians between the Taliban and one of the most corrupt regimes in the world and asking those same Canadians to improve the situation is futile.
Either Karzai goes or we go.
Simple.
