The fact of the matter is that the Afghani's should be left to themselves to solve their problems. Which are Pakistan supporting the Taliban, Pakistan supporting warlords and opium production. Perhaps an invasion of Pakistan would solve the problem. Given that Canadian Troops are now identified as being allied to the Americans and the anti-American sentiment has led to this reaction in the heart of liberated Afghanistan, I see not alternative but to leave. Post haste.
