James Laxer on the Afghanistan vote

Hat-tip to Rambling Socialist

Like Josh I approached Laxer's posting on the Afghanistan vote with some trepidation - his big theme of late has seemed to be urging a more junior partner to the Liberals role for the NDP - see his Walrus piece.

Thankfully I underestimated him. He points out quite rightly that the Canadian public is far out ahead of the other parties on Afghanistan and that the NDPs vote was the only principled option.
