Afghan mission could boost terror risk in Canada says expert

So why are we letting Bush put us in danger of being blown up in the subway because of a war that Canada has no interest in with the exception of being the United States continued bitchboy?

Afghan mission could boost terror risk: expert
CTV.ca News Staff

As Canadian soldiers departed for possible combat and casualties in
Afghanistan, a terrorism expert warned such a mission could increase the risk of
a terror attack in Canada.

"You cannot go into a war and expect you're not going to get shot at. It's
foolish and it's illusory to do so, so Canadians have to be prepared," Eric
Margolis told CTV.ca on Saturday.

"If they want to send troops to go and kill Afghans, Afghans are
going to come and kill Canadians."Not sending Canadian troops to Afghanistan
would have left Canada at the low end of risk for a terrorist attack here. This
current operation moves the risk estimation up to the mid-point, Margolis
said.


"The countries in which the West is militarily engaged have no military
forces to defend themselves, so what's happening is their people are taking over
what I call 'private enterprise violence.' They're fighting back through bombs
and other forms of terrorist violence. It's the way of the future."

U.S. President George W. Bush has often spoke of fighting the
terrorists in the Middle East and South Asia so the U.S. wouldn't have to fight
them at home.


British-born Muslim men, three of whom had Pakistani ancestry, carried out
the July 7 bombings in London. But a leaked British government report said that
Britain's involvement in Iraq could increase anger at home among British
Muslims.
