Sorry mate, that was/is Bush's war, it hasn't spanned two different administrations, it went through most of Bush's, and well if you think you can pull troops out of a country in 10 months, whicch is all it has lasted in Obama's term.

I get confused sometimes it is "rebuiling" or "nation building" and sometimes it is an "occupation" or an "illegal occupation" - like I said no matter how you say it, it was a war zone.

War zone or not, you do know there are different roles to play in a war zone don't you? Combat, logistical, and yes even construction, which is often done by civilians, so saying occupation is just a cop out, or you really have no idea what diffetrent roles there are in a war zone.

Why did they send soldiers to Afghanistan.

Wait, wait, are you trying to say that because the Canadian government sent troops to Afghanistan, that equals supporting the invasion of Iraq? If you can tie the two together, you'll be able to do something Bush never could, so I'd like to see your reasoning for that one.

I read a report that Canadian soldiers were disproportionately killed in combat. What was the difference? Why did Canada even get involved?

I don't know, I haven't read said report, care to share if with the rest of the class? What's the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan? If you don't know this by now, there is no use explaining it, it's the proverbial dead horse.
