Is caring for our children harming our ability to "fight them over there"?

According to a UNICEF report, it seems the answer is in. The more you care about your children, the less likely it is that you are over in Iraq or Afghanistan "protecting us from terrorists" (ok, that's not what UNICEF says, but if you look at the rankings of the countries involved, it certainly seems to show a strong correlation.)

So what have children done for us anyway? Are they going to protect us from terrorists when they come over here to kill us in (or under, as the case may be) our beds?

Can we sell them to factories or pimps for a profit like the profit we can make selling arms to fight manufactured wars?

Bah ... consider the poor corporations, and don't let our selfish children sucker us into making the wrong decision with they unprofitable ans selfish neediness ... "mommy I'm hungry and cold!", "daddy, how do you spell cat?"

Canada's "Forgotten War".

I guess since the US has taken over the leadership role in Afghanistan recently, they figured it would be a good idea to see how things were going.

Has our great Canadian media published anything on this, or is it better if we don't really know the truth?

Oh sure, one could argue that these are recent stats released by the US military, and that there would be no way the Canadian media could have received this information before the US media, but since our soldiers and our military are actually in Afghanistan, one would think that they keep track of similar stats ... you know; to kind of figure out whether this "mission" was a success or failure?
