The Hopeless Canadian Media

Okay, we get it. Some slimy terrorist was probably tortured in some way in an Afghani prison, and like ‘Climate Change’ it is all Canada’s fault. I have to admit being impressed at this new power Canada is wielding over the world these days. According to the media and various insane protesters, all of the world’s ills seem to be either caused by, or are continuing because of, Canada! How impressive is that?

I do feel bad that some poor terrorist might have been abused after being handed over to the Afghani authorities. Nowhere near as bad as I feel for the friends and families of the Canadian soldier whose death that person may have been directly responsible for. Or perhaps they were responsible for one of the terrorist acts targeting civilians – men, women and children – indiscriminately killing them.

Three points the media really must consider in their endless tirade over this:

1) We didn’t do it. The Afghanis did. Please feel free to go to any Afghani prison and start screaming at them. Let me know how you make out with that.

2) I would love to see you spend as much time and energy pointing out the good that our troops are doing there. Go to an Afghani school and walk up to a little girl and say ‘Hi!’. If you figure out my point in that request – good for you – there may be hope for our media yet!

3) You cannot judge another country based on our standards. Just because we baby coddle our prisoners does not mean that everyone else does. I guess if we are going to have the Afghanis act civilized in a ‘Canadian’ way, we should issue all the guards with Tasers and... Oh – wait a minute – skip that.

So here is what I propose. Let’s see some balanced reporting about what is going on over there and be fair. Stop listening to the idiots who compare this conflict with Vietnam (I feel pretty secure that a major super power is not supporting the Taliban as was the case with the North Vietnamese). Go find that girl in school and report on the miracle that represents. Talk to the men and women wearing the uniforms of the Canadian Armed Forces and see what they have to say. Or…read your Canadian history. Next time you want to throw out how this is hopeless because Afghanistan has been at war for so many years…check on Canada. If you look at our war timeline, we’re right up there with them.
