Canadian Troops in Afghanistan

The more I go on the TTC, the more I see those “Get the the troops out of Afghanistan NOW!” stickers. They all say it is about power and corruption and not terrorism. Did anyone forget why we went to Afghanistan first? People from a lot of different nations died when Osama’s boys attacked the USA.
I can see their opinion on all the innocent people that are getting killed. However, how many people have the Taliban killed over the years? Where were these bleeding hearts then? The Taliban are killing more innocent people and preventing stability in Afghanistan. Why are they not speaking out against the Taliban? They would rather protest a war than deal with the bigger issue. The war is about Terrorism. It has nothing to do with the Iraq war. The Iraq war is a completely different issue.
It just makes me mad when people are protesting our troops in Afghanistan. You are calling them killers, when they are risking their lives. They are not to be compared to the Taliban. If you want someone to complain about and blame for Afghanistan, blame the Taliban. Do not blame the brave men and women who risk their lives every day just to make our country a little safer. The reason you have the right to protest is because people like them have made it a free and safe country.
This was just something I wanted to get off my mind real quick. I’m totally open to all opinions on this matter and feel free to leave comments.
