A note on the Amazon ads: I've chosen to display current events titles in the Amazon box. Unfortunately, Amazon appears to promote a disproportionate number of angry-left books. I have no power over it at this time. Rest assured, I'm still a conservative.

It's a little bit like deciding whether or not to give your kid sister a ride to the movies. I mean, you're going to go anyway, but do you really want to have that annoying, whining little brat with you?
Well, the U.S. has the same problem. The kid sister is Canada, and the movies is Afghanistan. It seems that 750 Canadian soldiers are supposed to go to Afghanistan as part of the United States' war on terror. The only problem is that they don't have any planes big enough to get them there.
The Canadian military is still waiting to see whether the U.S. will be able to send some of its planes to pick up Canadian troops and fly them to Afghanistan.
The problem is the U.S. is already flying in its own soldiers.
Canada is looking at renting a civilian cargo plane to transport the troops and their equipment. But so far, it's been unable to find anything suitable.
Maybe if they'll quit their complaining about how we run the war and the terrorists on Gitmo, we might give them a ride.
