Libya, the new Afghanistan?

    Today John Baird said that Canadian troops may stay in Libya longer than originally planned. The first thing I thought when I saw this in the news was, "Oh great. We just left Afghanistan and now we may be starting it all over again in a different country."
    But is it really that bad? No Canadians have died in the operation yet. I guess that as long as our troops aren't getting blown up by improvised explosives, we might as well assist a country in their pursuit of peace and democracy. Just my thoughts. What do you think?
