<DIV>Well, Lulu , that was a very strong letter with some very noted
facts. Glad it was published. Harper is Harping for all the things
he wants for himself. One of his worst betrayals (in my opinion) is his,
once again , broken promise??stated intention?? of pulling out of
Afghanistan in 2011. The troopers and Our country will be paying the
price long after this ,some day, ends. </DIV>
<DIV>We went over there on a "peace" mission and because of the Taliban
their deathly bombs and more we had to train our troopers in "Full Combat" and
how to defend themselves and the innocent people.</DIV>
<DIV>There are not only dead soldiers returning but many more
Physically and Mentally damaged ones who will need continuing care and may never
find a semblance of normality in life again ; and their families are also
suffering with them and trying to adjust to these horrific changes in their
relationships and abilities. </DIV>
<DIV>The little benefit Canada's involvement has obtained for this constantly
war torn country is definitely not worth the price our troopers and Canadians in
general are paying. (I am so glad our grandson was able to exit the army
and not have to go back to Afghanistan a second time) as it's the repeated
deployments which cause the most damage with PTSD (Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder). I believe that most of them suffer this at varying
degrees...and mental afflictions can be such a drain on the health care system
as well as on the victim. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now Harper,for whom I have no respect, has
committed us to stay there but only as a "Peace Keeper."
What in the name of Heaven is he thinking of.??? You think the Taliban
will care wether they are there in combat and self defence
or in peace keeping only ????? Our troops will just
<STRONG>make a better bunch of targets</STRONG> if they can't fight back.They
are still an unwanted presence in a war mongering country. It
took Russia 10 years to realise that they might as well quit the country (
I spoke to one of our local fire fighters and his Dad was part of the army in
those days with Russia and accomplished very little positive for them and
glad to 'go home')</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Enough of my ranting...Harper won't listen to the
best in Canada why would he listen to such as me.

<TD vAlign=top>Hi folks
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I have a letter to the editor published in the Guelph Mercury today
in response to comments made by Senator Pamela Wallin regarding Bill
C-311, the Climate Change Accountability Act that was stopped by the
Senate without debate. It's online here at: </DIV>

<DIV>Also, I sent info regarding the Federal ECO's meeting to Canadian
and International papers including the Guardian, the Huffington Post,
the New York times as well as several Canadian Environmental law
agencies and Maude Barlow. I figured the more folks who know about
that meeting the better.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Have a good one folks.</DIV>
