IL 4
I think that Canada would be best run by a parlimentary (democratic) government. As a citizen in Canada, I was born and raised while Canada has been a parlimentary system and I have been pleased with the way how our government is run. I like the fact that the executive and legislative branch do not hold enough power to conqure anything they please and that every citizen (about the legal age of 18) has the right to vote and not fear the "consequences" of doing so; like in Afghanistan the Taliban cut off the arms of the people who have their finger covered in purple ink (after voting their finger is dipped in ink so they won't be able to vote again). But I digress back to the main issue: having a parilimentary system has worked pretty well for us Canadians. In Canada we have rights and freedoms and that allows us to really think about what is best for us and we approve of our parlimantary government.

IL 2
I think that Canada does have some responsibility to protect the new democratic system in Afghanistan since we are a part of NATO. As a democratic nation, we view things differently then how other countries (with other government systems) view things like the treatment of women. One thing that I agree with is how Canada is increasing the capacity of for democratic government, and help with the carrying out of democratic elections; as well as helping the ministry plan, which is to explain effective budgeting. We (Canadian Government and army) should not push things to the limit by getting too involved in their government any further than we already are. However, since Canada is a part of NATO they can use the excuse that they are just there to help Afghanistan create and democratic system.
