Canadian Involvement in Afghanistan

I believe that the Canadian involvement in Afghanistan has given positive reinforcement to the Afghan people, but also has a number of negative connotations. With the powerful Taliban and Al-Qaeda operating terrorist camps within Afghanistan an intervention was needed. The peace-keeping missions by Canadian soldiers are admirable, but I do not believe that Canadian lives should be placed in jeopardy. With having a close family friend be deployed to Afghanistan for a period of 6 months, I have come to understand families positions and thoughts on the controversy of why soldiers are there.
