Yep, couldn't agree more. I really hope we'll be out soon. Though of course its a bigger clusterfuck now than it was when we all arrived. I'm waiting to see what will happen come 2011, when Canada is supposed to end its mission. With all the new pressure being exerted there by the US, and Harper still in government, we'll probably end up along for the ride.
One can only hope that somewhere there will be some benefit from this.
