Just a quick heads up re. Rick Salutin's column on Afghanistan in the Globe today. It is entitled "Trust the Public on Afghanistan", and defends the skepticism of the Canadian people when it comes to our Afghan mission, as expressed through several recent polls.
Many good points in the article. One that Rick brings up is, of course, public opinion vs. elite media opinion concerning the Iraq invasion. While the Canadian public, as poll after poll indicated, was opposed, it seems that the vast majority of columnists and editorial writers at Canada's major (and minor) newspapers were ready to go over the top with George W.
And look how well that turned out.

But as always, a google search with "Salutin" and "Afghanistan" in it gets you to the full story while dodging the Globe's firewall.
