Regarding Mr. Ogilvie's comments about the conflict in Afghanistan, I am compelled to remind him and the readership that it most definitely is not George Bush's war. The Canadian Forces were sent there under the aegis of the UN and NATO to root out terrorist elements and restore order. Furthermore, this was seen as a most convenient out by Messrs. Chretien and Martin in terms of being able to avoid showing any solidarity with our traditional allies, the United States and Britain with regard to Iraq. The bottom line is, our involvement in Afghanistan was not the result of Mr. Ogilvie's imagined Conservative hawkishness, but rather the lack of intestinal fortitude on the part of his (apparently) beloved Liberals.George Fritz
