Mr. Chretien's statement in the Commons yesterday did not mention the withdrawal of Canadian troops and equipment already stationed in Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf. And he did make it clear that we are still actively engaged in the so-called "war against terrorism" with our ally, the United States.

I, for one, highly suspect that the "war against terrorism" is nothing but American propoganda supporting Western "imperialism" in third world countries. So although this is a step in the right direction, as it supports the UN and international law, as gnu said we'll just have to wait and see.
