Canada - Afghanistan: I weep

How sick did it make me to see the picture of S. Harper standing, smiling, with his cronies cheering in the background in the House of Commons. So they challenged the Liberal party of Canada to a game of Chicken, and they won. They won on the backs, on the lives of Canadian military personnel and Afghan citizens. The citizens of the world have become pawns on the slippery, oil soaked game board of power and greed. This form of 'democracy' has got to go. What does it mean anymore to measure public opinion, except perhaps to count exactly how many people you've just thumbed your nose at and done what you want anyway?
