I was looking for someone, who could share this topic in canada with me. But I never found one until now. I am an Afghan-Canadian, residing in Canada. When I hear about the situation and the Canadian Soldiers in Afghanistan, I wonder what's the purpose of our Canadian Solders in Afghanistan. Our Soldier plays with their life for something that has no improvement while spreading hatred in afghanistan. More than 30% of Afghans does not want other people leading in there country. Thats another reason for the increasing population of the Taliban. When more and more civilians dies in the unknown help by NATO, civilians joins the Taliban to fight against NATO to free their country (Thats what they say, when they join Taliban). Because American made a bad picture, Afghans does not want anyone helping their country, specially English speaking countries. But helping does not and should not mean sending troops to Afghanistan. NATO has been in Afghanistan almost 8 years now, but there is very little improvement in that country. What we are doing is giving the fish instead of teaching them how to fish. Instead of sending our army to protect them, we should train there army to protect themselves. Indeed they have the better knowledge of who is Taliban and who is civilian. They might kill less civilian. Thanks again for letting the truth be known. Thank you Mr. Martin. I was looking for someone, who could share this topic in canada with me.
