KANDAHAR -- Afghans shouting "Death to Canada" and other slogans blocked a main road in the hotly disputed Zhari District of Kandahar during a protest Wednesday against the rule of President Hamid Karzai and a house-to-house search operation by foreign forces that the demonstrators said had resulted in the death of two brothers who were mullahs.

One of the allegations against the Canadian troops leveled by the demonstrators was that they had walked into a house on Tuesday night in the town of Sanzarai and had opened fire on those inside without saying anything. The Canadians were also blamed for several arrests. The operation was unfounded because there were no Taliban in the town, villagers told Afghan television crews which recorded the protest.

A Canadian military spokesman denied that Canadian or other International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops had been involved in any such raids, adding that Canadian and ISAF forces had also not been present during Wednesday's protest.

I watched this news story on the talking picture box, and they mentioned that town heavily supports the Taliban....

SO I would expect nothing else from this town than the chant "Death to Canada" 

I would like to take this time to thank the Canadian media for once again making a huge deal and painting the picture that all Afghans want Canada (NATO) out.

How about more stories about the good work that is going on over there, no one seems to listen to them, even when Afghani's speak out publicly that they want us there, no one here believes them.
