Obviously, they haven't done a good enough job positioning their troops in a low risk area. Look for some drastic troop repositioning in response to this outbreak of casualties.

Never said they were the only ones in Afghanistan but they are one of the few remaining allies that commits troops to combat and actively champions support for the war.

Some Canadians have a terrible case of repressed wishes to be part of the most important and enlightened society in the history of mankind. The feelings of inferiority and psychic conflict cause them to lash out, exposing their underlying insecurities.

We need to be patient and understanding of those suffering from these symptoms. Be kind, don't exacerbate the situation by confronting them with facts. They dismiss facts, like the addict denies her addiction.

That type of juvenile sarcasm, born of insecurity might play well on CougarBoard but unfortunately it simply demonstrates you are in over your head here. The facts contradict your opinion and even worse for you -I'm not Canadian, I'm a red blooded American who willing lives in Canada!

No no no, don't contradict malapert with the truth. His little mind can't take it ... USA USA USA!

lol

The biggest problem with Americans is not recognizing how good they have it living in their own country. After living in 3 different countries and visiting a couple dozen more, I thank God every day I get to live in the USA now.
