the American's armed and funded the local Mujahadeen that later morphed into the Taliban, they looked at the foreign fighters during the war with the Russians with a great deal of disdain.

Fair enough. Did it make the result any better though? No. How do we know what would Kurd fighters do if they win? What would a good Canadian guy do if the fighters in his squad gang rape a woman from a taken village or behead a captivated enemy publicly? Would he try to stop them or close his eyes and choose not to notice? What would Canada need to do if he gets wounded in combat and his family starts calling Ottawa for help? As I said earlier this is not our war nor a UN–authorized peacekeeping mission. Canadian citizens should stay out of it.
