Dooney's Cafe, the always promising online magazine driven by the concerns and interests of Stan Persky, though he's not its only author and the site takes its name from a coffeeshop in Toronto's Annex, not one in Vancouver's Kitsilano, has the most damnedly interesting discussion of Canada's presence in Afghanistan. Its a conversation between Persky and the westcoast activist and environmental writer Terry Glavin. This may need an apoplexy alert for conventional progressives: they explain why they support the war. Full essay is here.
[PS. Score a point for Ivor Tossell (see below). Dooney's Cafe is a dot.com, not a dot.ca]
