Afghanistan and Canada, reason and passion
If you take the Afghanistan issue seriously, watch the January 25 edition of TVO's "The Agenda". John Manley and Janice Stein (about whom I have not always been complimentary) speak very well about what is involved. The host, Steve Paikin (whom I usually like), tries overmuch to stir things up, with little success. Video is available here, on the right at "Watch Video". Please do.
Slightly less than an hour but well worth the time to consider matters put pretty starkly and, I think, honestly. An informed democracy, and all that...
John Manley made this strong observation: Professor Michael Byers "didn't have the courage" to appear before his panel. Quite.

I saw that interview with Janice Stein. I liked the part where Mr.Paikin asked whether it could be said that Afghanistan is Canada's "child", and that we need to nurture that child to walk before we leave. He asked Ms.Stein whether that characterization would be accurate. She agreed.
