    So far it looks like Canada's commitment will cost approx $18 billion
    CDN...There's really not been much to show for it besides over 100
    killed and very little reconstruction because of the "hot" nature of
    the country. Canada opted not to join the US on their faulty escapade
    in to Iraq and for this we are glad. I wholeheartedly believe in helping out another disadvantaged country with reconstruction and aid.
    It unfortuneatly has been monies wated for the greater part in
    beleagured Afghanistan. This whole "War on Terror" needs some major
    rethinking...methinks!
