The Afghans fought of the Russians for over a decade. The Russians
were tough ruthless cookies with a war machine designed for the tough
Afghan terrain. To prevail against them, I would presume the Afghans,
just like everyone else, wanted to be independent, very very badly
wanted to be independent.

Then almost so sooner had they worn down the Russians than the
Americans, British and Canadians attacked.

The invaders set up a puppet government of drug and war lords, headed
by ex-Unocal employees.

Even with the combined might of the corrupt Karzai government, the
Americans, the British and the Canadians, the invaders are making
little headway.

Does that not hint to you that the majority of Afghans want to be
independent, and that includes independent of American, British,
Canadian and big oil control?

The Afghan people must be mostly in favour of ousting the invaders, or
else the huge military might of America, Britain and Canada would long
ago have prevailed against a people with no budget at all to defend
themselves.

I feel so ashamed my country, Canada, is picking on a tiny nation that
did Canada no harm, simply to curry favour with American dreams of
empire.

You might say that Karzai is democratically elected, but only those
willing to collaborate with the Americans could even run. That is no
more of a democracy that you had in the Communist Democratic People's
Republics. The very fact the war is going so badly for he invaders
proves the people don't want their puppet Karzai government. The same
reasoning applies to Iraq.
