Canada has been in Afghanistan for 9 years trying to help implement democracy and should see the job through, according to the author. While Canada should not force its system and should respect personal beliefs, it has a responsibility to establish principles like economic freedom, rights, and rule of law. Once Afghanistan can successfully uphold these principles without failing, then Canada's responsibility will be absolved.

1. Canada’s Responsibility<br />Ashlyn Rye<br />I believe that since Canada is in Afghanistan, and had been for 9 years trying to help the USA implement a new democratic system that it automatically becomes our responsibility. We have spent all this time trying to give Afghanistan a type of government that they never had, or even really knew about. We have invested too much of our time and money to just quit now. <br />Limits should be placed once things are taken too far. Things should be explained and slowly put in place without force. Once violence is used when not necessary and the people get in the way of individuals religious and reasonable personal beliefs, this is when limits should be put in place. <br />Canada is absolved from this responsibility once they have successfully implemented some principals such as economic freedom, individual rights, and rule of law. Once these principles are successfully given to the Afghanistan people and they are knowledgeable enough to carry them out without failing, is when we can be absolved from our responsibility. <br />
