132

Lt. Justin Garrett Boyes of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry yesterday became the 132nd Canadian to die in Afghanistan. RIP.

The media are telling us Lt. Boyes is "the first in over a month" to die, as if that's supposed to make his family or us feel better. The tide of the war has not changed. It is against us.

Meanwhile, the focus of the "war on terror" seems to be shifting northeastward, to some more "stans"...Waziristan, which is a province of Pakistan. Al Qaeda and the Taliban have killed hundreds in the "stans" this week alone. The armed forces of Pakistan, America, Canada and the rest do not seem to be making any headway in containing, let alone eliminating them.

Those who have eyes to see, let them see.
