Rondi Adamson pens a brilliant column in the far-left Toronto Star today. No, I’m not being sarcastic at this time.
Every Canadian who is on our side in the war should read it. And Dion and Layton and Duceppe too.
Here’s a snippet (the column is a 2-minute read):
… I would argue that it [our national reputation] has improved internationally due to our involvement in Afghanistan.
Far from the myth that most of the world used to view us as benign peacekeepers and now view us as pawns of the Great Satan, it is more likely that most of the world either never thought twice about us, or simply viewed us as an extension of the United States.
Now we are included in adult discussions and asked, in return, to behave like adults, responsibly and with integrity.
Instead we – not our soldiers, but citizens and leaders – behave like accountants with calculators in hand, tallying up every percentage, dollar, headline, slight or snub (real or imagined) and counting every sacrifice as a cause for indignation and (more) anti-Americanism, rather than as, well, a sacrifice. …
Thank you for that, Rondi Adamson.
