A simple truth

I'm afraid Norman Spector is bang on--especially when one considers the anti-Americanism that pervades so much of Canadian society and which dictates that actual fighting is only something those nasty Yanks do (and usually for bad reasons):

"Fundamentally, the problem is that what the Conservatives are doing (in Afghanistan), whether you agree with it or not, is not in harmony with where most Canadians' heads are at," says Spector.

"We're not used to it. We have a whole generation who have never known real war."
