How many lives will it take?

The Canadian army has been in Afghanistan for several years now. And since the beginning, soldiers are dying. What's strange, is that even after 155 deaths, Canada is still in that country. One death does not seem that bad but it is because it affects thousands of people. For example, in a city of Ontario, a park and a motorcycle fundraiser were named after a soldier. Not only that, but these men are very dedicated to our country and could really help Canada in a different way other than war. That's only one part of these casualties. The canadian army is not firing bullets at a little piece of wood. They are actuallly Afghanis dying or becoming orphelins, handicapped, etc. Canada's government is not thinking about that. They are thinking about education, safety and health for the Afghanis, which is good, but much less important than death. The question we have to ask ourselves is: When is the government going to see their mistake and is that going to happen now or in a decade? Are they going to realise after 1000 men are dead or now? Only the future will reveal the answer.
