POSTED RESPONSES TO AN EDITORIAL IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
"The refreshing openness shown by some MPs to continuing Canada's military presence in Afghanistan beyond 2011 is welcome"
Welcome by whom?
Who writes such rubbish as an editorial?
Afghanistan is the biggest waste of life and treasure in Canadian modern history.
We have no purpose there at all, other than "owing one to the Pentagon."
President Karzai and the other parties there are perfectly capable of sorting things out themselves.
One thing is sure, occupation by foreign soldiers hinders Afghanistan's ability to mend its affairs.

Americano reminds us, if we needed reminding, of the mindset that gave the world the holocaust of Vietnam, the atrocities of Cambodia, the savagery of Iraq, and the stupid blundering of Afghanistan.
Along the way, there were countless lesser Appalachian Throwback works, from Chile to Somalia.
And America crowned its glories by so steeping itself in debt that it caused a financial collapse.
Truly, is there any country on earth more poorly run or more destructive in its actions?
China is almost a model world citizen by comparison.
And why does everyone not treat the U.S. as though these truths were obvious?
Only because of its wealth, and nothing else.
But all its stupidities are putting stress even on that for the future.
Some clown calling himself or herself "Americano" should give Canadians advice?
It's just more proof of arrogance and ignorance beyond measure.
