Powerful article by Canadian ex-Senator Eugene Forsey on the politics behind Canada staying in Afghanistan: Bob Rae/Riggy, Price Leader for the Oligopoly. By the way, the LPC he refers to is the Liberal Party of Canada (rather badly broken at present, IMO).
And for another (not necessarily incompatible) view on the political manoeuverings, Jim Travers in the Toronto Star: Travers: Politics permeates Afghan mission reversal. It has to be admitted that Harper can outsmart Iggy and Rae with one hand tied behind his back...
um, I don't think the EugeneForsey blog is actually written by the former Senator (who expired in '91); rather, it's written in homage / deference to his views.
