"Non-Confidence" on Afghanistan

 
The Conservative government of Stephen Harper might fall on the issue of Afghanistan. The leader of the Bloc Quebecois is threatening a non-confidence motion on Afghanistan when parliament resumes after the Christmas break. The other parties are making noises about supporting the motion, in which case the minority government will fall.

The issue concerns the role of Canadian forces in Afghanistan. Is this a war that can be won? Is too much effort being paid to search-and-destroy missions against the insurgents and not enough to rebuilding?

I don't think Canada belongs in a country where the citizens don't want us. A country that's controlled by opium warlords who are little better than the Taliban. A country where thousands of insurgents enjoy safe haven in Pakistan. I hope the motion passes and we get out as soon as possible.
