I am reminded of an anecdote about Frederick Douglass. When someone pointed out that white people were fighting the American Civil War (1861-1865) to preserve the union rather than to free the Negro, he replied that the white people could fight for their cause, while the black people fought for their cause.
Now, what is the story over there in Canada? First, the Canadian government says that it will pull out of Afghanistan unless NATO coughs up more troops. Our Prime Minister told the canadian Prime Minister that he will provide them.
