Why?



Canadians get ready to repatriate another fallen hero from Afghanistan. She will be coming along the Highway of Heroes tomorrow. Karine Blais was 21 years old and the second woman killed in Afghanistan.

Why?

Meanwhile, Afghan women are stoned for demonstrating against a law that would legalize marital rape.

Why?

Afghan President Hamid Karzai signs this abominable law and then says maybe he'd have another look at it after worldwide outrage.

For this we are sending our young men and women to die.

Why?

I don't know. It's a shame. We should blast their poppy fields (the source of their income), and get the hell out. All of us.

I agree but we both know it will never happen. The world is more concerned with collateral damage now than they were during WW2...
