Canada in Afghanistan has gone from a little advertised secret in 2002 to the front page. While the media only fixates on the casualties, the good that we are doing is getting out.
What I find intolerable though is the constant slander that tries to paint Afghainstan as Iraq and this as some illegal and unjust war.
Agreed, I and others could fill pages here of lives saved, life altering projects, improvements in schools, hospitals ad infinitum. No one wants to hear about that apparently. Can you imagine today's headlines in WW2?
In Large Print page one:
INVASION OF EUROPE BEGINS, THOUSANDS OF ALLIED CASUALTIES AND OVER 600 CANADIAN DEAD, BODY COUNT RISING. OPPOSITION PARTIES VOW TO BRING DOWN GOVERMENT UNLESS WITHDRAWAL DEADLINES MET. NDP LEADER JACK LAYTON SAYS: "WE SHOULD NEGOTIATE WITH HITLER". STEPHANE DIONE: GURGLE!!!
In small Print page 10:
Liberation of Europe begins, millions freed from the yoke of Nazi tryanny a matter of time, world is a better place.
