Canadian troops patrolled dusty Kandahar yesterday, buying time for President Hamid Karzai's elected government to rebuild the nation after Soviet occupation, civil war, Taliban misrule and terror.

Article 1
An editorial that looks only at the toing and froing of the politics. Nothing about the reasons that we should be fighting a war, where there was no aggressive action by a country to any other country. Nothing about the warlords. Nothing about US ability to fight a war against an enemy if they were a real enemy.
Article 2
Starts out strongly and then dissipates. No mention about what happens once democracy, real and true democracy returns, such as in Haiti. Objective and logic are correct but leaves out the facts and consequences.
Summary - Crystal Ball Time
Looks like our Newspaper wants to move to the right of centre. Seems like the NDP has been written off and the Liberals don't count anymore.
Could it be that The Globe is offering more hard facts and research, leaving this paper looking for a place? Looking to make the bottom line?
