We've been in Cyprus for nearly 40 years. And I guess the blood of our young isn't really a cost, is it?

Although extremely tragic, the loss of life, but does nothing for the UAE nor did it ask them to shed it.

Once again the great misunderstanding that the Canadian troops are in A'stan doing somekind of favour to the UAE. They let Canada wage war at no cost on another country which it had nothing to do with in the first place.

Another great misunderstanding is saying we are waging war on another country, especially when the Afghan government want us there, and do not want us to go.
