Jack Layton Must Go!!!!!
I'm sorry, usualy I try to stay away from political discussions. Although they interest me, I do strive to be nuetral when it comes to politics. However this just gets my blood boiling!
First of all I do have to say that I was never for the "war" in Afganistan. I use quotation makes purposly there. I believe that it had nothing to do with terrorism, or ousting a harmful government. Rather it was just a case of the US sticking it's nose where it didn't belong. It needed Afganistan as a diversion to their real target, Iraq and Iran, as well as their oil. It was also needed to try and expand American influence in the middle east. However I digress, the point is that we as Canadians should not have been there in the first place, no one should. However the Americans went in and ousted the Taliban. But they didn't do a good job, now there are thousands of rebel soldiers, fighting to regain control. Now that Canada is involved we can't leave. If we do, it would be the poor inocent Afghans who suffer.
Now that we are they we have to stay till the end. To pull out now would be cowardice, it would be leaving inocent people to suffer. Just because there are a few casualties, to run now would in effect be saying that our soldiers are not up to the task that they were trained for. It shows a lack of confidence. However the leader of the NDP, Jack Layton suggests we do exactly this. You can read his ideas to run away from our problems here: Globe, Pull out
If that wasn't galling enough check out what he suggests we should do instead of fighting and helping out the Afghans: Globe, Talks
Negotiate with the Taliban! Are you kidding? Does he really think that they will agree to having a free society, womens rights, and to turn over terrorists? It is this type of thinking that is a cancer to our society. We need to rid ourselves of this deadwood that permiates our society and most scarily our governments. With them around we will sink further and further into disintergration. There are others that fit this bill, but Jack is one of the poster childs, and should be at the top of the list of those we don't need around in this country. Better yet why not let Jack go over to Afghanistan and start negotioations, without the protection from our soldiers of course! I'm sure he will get a great reception from the Taliban, and I know few will miss him.
