Canada, under orders from Jean and Paul, created a mess in Afghanistan. 
Well, we helped create a bigger mess than what was already there. Canada 
insisted upon giving the Afghanis democracy, upon bringing order to a 
chronically disordered region. We helped dispose of a murderous, despotic 
regime and in it's place we gave chaos and insecurity nd more death by 
aligning ourselves with the likes of the Northern Alliance. Like it or not 
but we have a duty to the Afghani people to help rebuild. It is the same 
duty we owe the people of Hati.

This is the essence of what Harpo means that Canada will not 'cut and run'. 
It means that Canada, regardless of what other states choose to do, will not 
abandon it's responsibilities, what it owes to the people of Afghanistan.

Don't blame the dirt poor Afghanis for growing poppies to feed their 
families and helping to supply Canada's herion jones. Blame Canadian 
addicts.

By bringing order, security, education to Afghanistan we also help bring 
opportunity, potential, choice to the Afghanis. And maybe, just maybe, less 
poppy growing.

Jean and Paul, without consulation to Parliament or the Canadian people, 
took on this responsibility.

Canadians do not cut and run from thier responsibilities. It's what helps 
make us Canadian. We did not cut and run from Vimy. We did not cut and run 
from the Medvak Pocket. We shouldn't cut and run from Khandahar.

Canada should only leave Afghanistan when a suitable replacement, be it 
indigenous or foreign, is able to take our place and meet our committements 
at the end of this mission. Otherwise we stay.

I'm proud of our Canadain troops. It's the politicians that make me sick.
