An assorted group of Canadians, "united in a commitment to the principle that as Canadians, we must honour our obligations to the cause of solidarity with the people of Afghanistan," have created a new association: The Canada-Afghanistan Solidarity Committee.
The Committee believes Canadian troops must stay in Afghanistan and that Canada must remain dedicated to that country's reconstruction and to preventing the Taliban from coming to power.
Supporters of this new association include New Democrats and Conservatives, Muslims and Jews, Christians and atheists, gay rights activists and feminists.
Any association that can unite such a diverse crowd must have something going for it.

I wonder if the USSR ever had such a group before they withdrew their 300,000+ troops from Afghanistan in 1989?
