And while I'm at it, what in hell's name are we fighting for in Afghanistan, a place where they can propose a law making shiite women second, or third class citizens, at the mercy of their husbands and male relatives; where a leading female politician and activist is murdered by Taliban gunmen, who relish claiming responsibility .... I think it's time to pull out of their crappy little asshole of the world country, and leave them to fend for themselves.
And on a sad note, another Canadian soldier was killed in action yesterday in Kandahar province. Trooper Karine Blais, 21, of the Royal 22nd Regiment, Francophones from Quebec, was killed in a roadside bomb blast. Four other soldiers were injured. She was from a small town in the Gaspe region of Quebec; and she was the second woman kia while serving with the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan.

Promoting hatred is also a offence in this country too Eric, but is just depends who is promoting hatred though. As for Afghanistan it was one of Bubba's targets in his Axes of Evil crusade supported by his buddy Blair
