There has been endless debate here and on TORC about the U.S. involvement in Iraq.
I spoke to an e-friend in the States not long ago, and he was upset that Canada was one of the countries which refused to help out in Iraq. I informed him there was another war going on in Afghanistan, and we were involved in that. Unfortunately, after years of cutbacks to the military, Canada does not have the resources to get involved in a second conflict.

Parliament passed a motion this week to extend the Canadian involvement for another 2 years. And they have my full support, in case you're wondering.
