I don't support the War...

I'd support it if we (NATO) were there to win, but we're not. We're there to break even. Watch and see what kind of 'victory' is achieved in Afghanistan in the end and then we'll discuss how that was worth the cost of young Canadian men and women.
If Afghanistan sinks back into chaos (whether or not Canadian soldiers stay there), are the sacrifices Canadians made there going to be deemed 'worth it'?

I don't see how its bound to sink back into chaos if we stay the course, putting a completely unrealistic end date will guarantee that.. If we cut and run now in 1 years time it will only strengthen the resolve of Al-Qaeda.. I fail to see how any military mission ever breaks even.. What of all the afghan people who sided with NATO and coalition.. I guess f'em they can hang when the forces leave..
