    Afghan general says Canadian who shot convoy driver should be punished

          If the driver was passing the inner cordon and did not stop as directed then the canadian soldier had no choice but to react. Clearly the driver did not understand what he was doing.

            My only concern is that Canadian troops will start getting complacent around groups of children. One child even tried to get into the vehicle.          In Vietnam the VC used poor village children to toss grenades into vehicles as they new the soldiers would let them get close.
