Canadians Oppose War-Whose Taliban Now

The rightwhing bloogers like to refer to Jack Layton as "Taliban Jack", equating the NDP position on withdrawing our troops from the warzone in Afghanistan as appeasement. Well I guess we are all Taliban now....

Afghanistan war more unpopular than ever

A clear majority of Canadians consider the mission in Afghanistan a lost cause, according to an extensive survey that hints at deep public skepticism about the war on terror.

Decima Research polled more than 2,000 Canadians last month just as Prime Minister Stephen Harper stepped up his efforts to promote the mission.

Fifty-nine per cent of respondents agreed Canadian soldiers "are dying for a cause we cannot win," while just 34 per cent disagreed with that statement.

An even larger majority said they would never fight in Afghanistan themselves under any circumstances -- not even if they were forced to in some military draft.

Guess they won't be showing up at any of those Conservative orchestrated Red Friday Rallies.
