What Happens in Afghanistan Stays in Afghanistan

The Double Standard of Canada’s Foreign Policy,

While sexual assault and rape is a crime when it happens to Canadians, it’s perfectly alright when it happens to Afghanis according to the Canadian military.

According to a recent Toronto Star article Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan who have witnessed the sexual abuse and even rape of innocent civilians including young children have been ordered by their commanding officers to ignore these crimes.

Even worse, these crimes are being committed by the Afghan army, the same army that we are there to support and defend.

Are we really fighting this war to defend the rights of the Afghan people? This latest information makes that a little bit harder to swallow.
