For Harper, It's Either Darfur Or Afghansitan

Posted on Sunday, May 14 at 14:58 by 4Canada
What's making Harper's life miserable is that Afghanistan is best explained by interests, Darfur by values. While both are important, one nurses cynicism as effectively as the other stirs the milk of human kindness. Stripped of other significant qualifiers, Canadians are in Afghanistan to please Uncle Sam. This country's first commitment was a reaction to 9/11 and an alternative to sending ground troops to Iraq. http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1147470610832&call_pageid=970599109774&col=Columnist969907626423 [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on May 15, 2006]
