Why are so many of my fellow Canadians opposed to Canadian involvement in the NATO mission in Afghanistan: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2007/06/22/scheffer-quebec-070622.html. Is it simple anti-Americanism? Genuine anti-war sentiment? Would they have been just as opposed to Canadian involvement in World War II? Is this the product of years of subtle leftist indoctrination in the schools? Is it the product of a politically correct, morally relativistic society that refuses to pass judgment on anyone or anything?
I honestly don't know the answer to any of these questions, but regardless, I am very troubled by the opposition to the involvement as it does not bode well for the future of the mission.
Then again, for all of those nutcase antiwar protestors, there are heroes like this soldier: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2007/06/22/karigiannis-family.html. He has my appreciation and gratitude.
