It is amazing to me that during this election campaign we are hearing nothing from Afghanistan. We are however hearing from NATO and the dispute about putting boots on the ground.
I for one pray that Canadians are not sucked into this North African Void. Known as Libya or Ghadaffi Land. He has certainly surprised NATO and indeed the world by hanging on so long.
The Rebels seem to take ground then lose it. Then they call for more NATO airpower. However as Ghadaffi uses human shields around his installations NATO is reluctant to attack every target.
I attach 2 photos from Libya. The smiles and exubarance of the children show clearly. Sadly the smiles do not last as long as the photos. Children always suffer the most in areas of conflict.
The incidents of piracy by Somali pirates are increasing and Naval Vessels from many countries are still powerless to stop them. The UN should declare open warfare on these pirates of the sea.
See this link to the story of the pirates:

So I pray that this election ends in a Majority Government and that the concerns of our brave troops will be attended to forthwith.
Please show your Support for our Troops and their Families by wearing Red on Fridays.
