As Sandra pointed out, Canadians need to realize that our mission in Afghanistan is not one of peacekeeping. Chief of Canadian Forces General Rick Hillier has made it abundantly clear that we are fighting a war. Nor are we "defending" anyone from anything, except US Forces in Iraq who need us as a rearguard. It's time our most articulate voices, our writers and poets, spoke out en masse about this. They are to be commended for having done so in past conflicts, as Sandra explained. Yet for Afghanistan they are curiously silent. Regardless of the political situation, the principle is the same: killing as an industry is morally unjustifiable in ANY context. Thank you again for providing valuable air time for PAW Canada to speak. I just wanted to thank you for an excellent interview with Sandra Stephenson, co-founder of Poets Against War Canada.
