Sergeant James MacNeil, RIP
Sgt. MacNeil was killed by an IED in Afghanistan today, the 148th Canadian to die there for... for what?
In a related story, the British death toll in Armpitistan has now risen to over 300. The UK's new prime minister, David Cameron, said "We are paying a high price for keeping our country safe, for making our world a safer place."
Indeed. But Canada, with roughly a quarter of the number of British troops in Afghanistan, yet about half the number of dead, is paying a higher price. As for keeping the world safe, has anyone seen any evidence of this as yet?
If the world is a safer place, why has Canada just spent over a billion dollars on security for the upcoming G8/G20 meeting of world leaders? That's pretty steep, especially considering that Afghanistan's democratically elected leader, the Krazai guy, won't be there.
