The mission to bring about peace in Afghanican is being debated in the House of Commons today with the Government of the day asking for a two year extension. Appropriately, the left wing thinkers think we ought to bring our troops home and send them to Darfur instead?
Dont think I quite get that actually, wasn't it the Liberals that sent them to Afghanistan to begin with? And why pull them out of one country where Muslims are killing Muslims and have done so for centuries to send them to another country where Muslims are killing Muslims? What the heck is the difference here? Who gets to decide which Muslim lives are more valuable? We cant be everywhere.
I think I get it actually. The reason we dont want our troops in Afghanistan is because they are there at the behest of the Americans. Am I close? Help me out my Liberal friends.
Unfortunately this time I have to agree with my Liberal friends. Bring our troops home, all of them from countries where they insist on doing each other in. We are not going to change anything. Our culture is only a hundred plus years old where theirs is way older and no matter how long we stay there as soon as we leave they will be right back at it. Are we prepared to stay forever? That's unfortunately what I think it will take. Cant change centuries of tribal hatred and warfare.
