Afterglow

Having taken so many hours watching TV and reading all about the decision to go to war I was depleted of reasonable answers to the issue. After special events like sex there is an afterglow which gives you a warm comforting feeling. This event made me  sick as I saw so much potential for a great ending and it did not happen. I was disappointed in most of the rhetoric as that house holds a huge amount of experience and ability.

I feel that there could and should have been consensus about Canada's involvement in the mess in the Middle East. We definitely have a role to play and definitely there could have been a point where all could say this is the best course for Canada. The blame has to sit on the Conservative Party and the Prime Minister who never tried to keep everyone centered on the problem by keeping them up to date. Either the PM did not know what he was planning or he did not wish to share,  he failed on all accounts. Answers never given to honest questions. Terrible toxic answers to simple questions developed a division that could never be breached.

I believe the PM caused this breach on purpose so it became Harper's War. He sent around notices to all departments some months ago saying he wanted information to be given as Harper Government and not the Canadian Government. This mess is not over and I am afraid that the people who will suffer in the long run will be our men and women in uniform.

There is no way that ISIS can be stopped with bombs and now that the camel has his nose in the tent watch what he will do next..
