Is the alledged torture of Afghan prisoners our concern?

Do the majority of Canadians really care if Afghan detainees are being treated unfairly? Do the majority of Canadians believe that it's not our business? Do the majority of Canadians believe that the laws and practices in Afghanistan are our business? Do the majority of Canadians believe Afghanistan will ever be a democratic society where everyone lives free from oppression? Well according to to our politicians we all care, and we should be interfering with this country and it's laws, as they keep saying "Canadians want to know"

Well no not really, the majority of Canadians care about what's going on in our country, we want to know why our taxes are so high, why gas prices are manipulated by the oil compaines and yet nothing is ever done about that, we want to know how we're going to be able to afford to retire, how we are going to be able to raise our kids in a safe country, free from gang violence and drug wars, perpertrated by immigrants set on changing our country to suit their needs. Canadians want to know why we bend over backwards to wish people happy holidays, when it used to be Merry Christmas, Canadians care about Canada.

Personally I don't give a damn if a few Afghan prisoners are treated unfairly, that's not the country I care about. They will never live free from violence, oppression or a just and fair society. This is the reality of Afghanistan.
