This might be a little off the side, but during the recent Australian election Iraq was a sizeable difference between the two political parties, but Afghanistan was not - both parties publicly said that they would 'stay the course' in Afghanistan. Our troop numbers (from a quick bit of googling) are similar to Canada's. Personally, I think that the reasons to go in, in the first place, are still there. 1000 troops might not sounds like a lot, but every little bit counts.
