Thoughts on the WOT

Is the WOT really a suppression of the means by which the powerless can defend themselves or deter the ambitions of the powerful?

London, Madrid, Iraq, attacks made by jihad against targets belonging to the allied nations that wage a war in the middle East. Canada's role, securing the first footprint of this 'clash of civilizations,' does not exempt us from the rising incidence of terrorist attack. Is it any wonder that the al-Qaeda attacks since 9-11 have struck the two nations that colluded with America in invasion of Iraq? More analyses of that invasion conclude that the incidence of terrorist acts and recruitment of 'terrorists' has increased since March 2003. Accepting these premises begs a pertinent question, as an invader in Afghanistan, does Canada, day by day, increase rather than decrease the likelihood of terrorist activity on our soil? Our goals in Afghanistan must be clear to both canadians and afghans alike. There Mia be no imposition of belief on the Afghan people. Is the mission to Afghanistan, in the end, another example of economic colonialism?
