Afghanistan

Clarington Ontario Canada

Close to home; that's Bowmanville Ontario about 50 miles east of Toronto, this young trooper Caswell ,22 ,killed a few days back was given a fitting farewell ...number 57 of the canadians murdered really in this horrible place Afghanistan.

And while the ceremony was going on, another three canadian soldiers were killed in a similar roadside bomb ambush scene. (Yes, Canadian Soldiers killed so far is now up to 60)..

Does any of this make sense?

Do we need to be there?

What happens if we are not?

The truth is that we should have left Afghanistan to the Soviets years ago. They had their hand full and finally disappeared from the scene long before the USSR Empire itself fell apart. Today, still, American aid weapens, bombs the technology to make this junk, most of it leftovers of the USA cold war efforts to keep communism in check. They need not have bothered, the writing was on the wall and the Soviet Empire would have fallen apart....as it did eventually.

I know the situation looks a bit complicated. In my view, we and all the others ( most certainly the Americans ) who in the end really have no business in this place, should simply get out. Go home. Take care of your own problems America....there are plenty.
