To use the analogy of Canada being a fireman who's going into Afghanistan to put out a house that's on fire—the Afghan house—yes, we may be upset that there aren't enough firemen there behind us or willing to come in, or that other fire halls haven't contributed as many trucks, but it would be a moral mistake for us to, in a fit of pique, wrap up our hose while the house was still burning just because the other fire halls hadn't contributed as much as we would have liked in putting out the fire.
Et c'est ma réponse à la deuxième partie de la question. Si nous comparons la mission du Canada en Afghanistan à celle d'un pompier chargé d'atteindre l'incendie d'une maison — la maison afghane —, oui, nous pouvons être contrariés de ne pas être appuyés par plus de pompiers ou que les autres casernes n'aient pas contribué autant de camions.
