NATO Chief Rejects Claim Canada Bears Afghan Burden

He noted that a Spanish soldier was killed on Wednesday when a convoy of ambulances was attacked in western Afghanistan, and two British marines were killed in separate incidents Wednesday and Thursday. "In the south, where the situation is tough, where there is fighting from time to time, I say again this is a collective effort." De Hoop Scheffer dismissed claims that Canadian NATO troops were fighting and dying while many of their international counterparts continued to take on less dangerous duty in the north. http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2007/02/23/nato-canada-070223.html
