In support of the war

Disclaimer: It is fairly difficult to find website doing the apology of the Canadian presence in Afghanistan. Here are three websites which support the war in Afghanistan, but offer very few arguments. If you have some resource to share, feel free to post the websites that could help us.

NATO

This site is the official site of the NATO, and it discusses the reasons of our presence in Afghanistan. It is very interesting and I strongly suggest you give a look!

ISAF

This is the official website of the coalition forces in Afghanistan. The website offers all the news regarding the war and the rebuilding of Afghanistan, but offers very few arguments in support of the mission.
