The last civilian Canadian soldiers murderd a week and a half ago was a man on foot with a mental disabiity

Us? We? Seems the Afganis have had enough of Canadian soldiers killing innocent civillians QUOTE Frustrated by a spate of civilian shootings, Afghan National Police and the head of the local human rights commission have recommended to Canadian commanders that military convoys be shepherded by local authorities. My God.If we thought it was Bush who was creating a whole new era of terrorists,think again. The way Canadian soldiers have been murdering Aghani civillians it just may be them who are creating new terrorists. QUOTE The shootings have put a strain on relations between Canadian soldiers and civilians, who are often caught in the crossfire or hit by wayward warning shots. "I ask you: why are civilians being shot?" said Abdul Quadar Noorzai, the regional program manager of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission. "It would be better to let Afghan army or Afghan police handle security on convoys. If they were to let the chief of police know when they are moving between places it would be great." QUOTE MacEachern said the driver failed to heed repeated warnings to stop and stay away. I think that excuse is worn out.Time to come up with a new one http://www.thestar.com/Unassigned/article/186185 QUOTE "Why can't they be shot in the leg?" I think its because its more fun and impressive to the Americans if you kill them
