We are there at the invitation of the democratically-elected government of Afghanistan to help bring stability and peace to a country that hasn't exactly been a happy place for the last thirty years. Once this big cell of Taliban in the south has been finally rooted out--and this Operation Medusa will be important for that--then the Afghan military and police forces will be sufficient to take care things and everyone else can go home.
Claiming that the only real result is dead Canadians is ignorant of the facts. We aren't there spinning our wheels; appreciable progress is being made.
