^^ What we're doing is hunting down the Taliban for Bush... nothing more, nothing less. As Harper accelerates our involvement in things we're really not meant for, we'll see more of these concentrated terrorist movements within Canada. They won't all be bungling buffoons.

We were always peacekeepers. We're not peacekeepers anymore. We're approaching the level of pre-emptive warfare, made infamous by GWB himself. If he wants to tank the US economy by traipsing all over the globe, hunting "terrorists"... fine, let him do that. Let's not follow him blindly and resign ourselves to the same fate.

There's nothing "un-Canadian" about asking what our current involvement is in Afghanistan, and about what missions we've undertaken that might have stepped over the "peacekeeping" line.

Once we're patrolling daily, swarming houses and interrogating people that simply have nowhere else to be... we're just re-inventing Iraq's situation in that corner of the globe. There's an installed government that was supposedly "elected" into power, there's a run of insurgents (called the Taliban) and there's the "coalition" forces. When the coalition starts interrogating and actively hunting down the insurgents at the expense of the liberties and safety of the locals... that's not peacekeeping... that's Iraq's current situation.
