AFGHANISTAN and CANADA
Is There An Alternative To The War?
Lucia Kowaluk and Steven Staples, editors
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a recent U.S. televison interview that NATO can't defeat the insurgency in Afghanistan. It has been suggested that it may be necessary to reach out to moderate members of the Taliban and this idea is gaining strength. But what does this say about Canada's role in Afghanistan, past and future?
This important work documents the results of Canada's involvement in Afghanistan until now and explores some of the reasons for and against our continued presence.
