Given
this statement from the Foreign Affairs Minister, depending on who you believe, our civilian work in AFG could be protected by
the Americans (link to
Globe & Mail story) or
private sector security firms (link to CanWest News Service story).
I respect whatever the elected politicians end up deciding (and a lot can happen between now and 2011), but I really hope this doesn't lead to the "bad old days" of Canada having a military that isn't allowed to do as much as it could on the world stage.
