Democracy at Work

The current political situation in Canada is most curious or at least in B.C. it is. The population of B.C. has started to state the opnion that the Canadian armed forces should not be in Afghanistan louder and louder over the last weeks. The population of B.C. has the opinion that there should not be a Canadian military presents in a war that they have no part in. (The U.S. American war against Terrorism) It is not that the people of B.C. agree with the methods of the Al-Quaeda, it is that they disagree with using military forces in a already torn nation and destroying it even further. Past expirience has taught that violance only creates better grounds for even stronger and more fanatic terrorist groups, which by the way are always freedom fighters against one or another oppressing force.
Of course it would help more to support the people of Afghanistan instead of forcing them to fear the 'civilized' world which is hunting their own creation over their lands. The U.S. government made a mistake but instead of admitting that and trying to solve the problem in a peaceful manner they start bombing the people that fight back. The Al-Quaeda admittedly has pushed it too far, but does it really help to hunt them when it is well known that you can't kill a certain believe. At least not with bullets and bombs. Are the military forces not proving the Al-Quaeda's point of an oppressed world in which the western powers force their will upon other nations?
Yes, the terrorists that aid in attacks against any civilian target should be brought to justice, but is not even more important to do so without any more civilian victims.
The population of B.C. seems to think along those lines or they are just concerned for the children that are in Afghanistan. Now the Canadian government has reacted in a most curious way, to the growing part of the population that wants the Canadian military out of Afghanistan. The Canadian government has found the one weakness the population has, they have made the perfect coup. The Canadian government is going to spent fifteen billion Canadian dollars on new equipment to aid the soldiers in Afghanistan. Isn't that great? Isn't that exactly what this growing part of the population wanted?
