Canada Lost Afghan War Author Graeme Smith Says

Canada Lost Afghan War, Left Behind Dashed Dreams, Author Graeme Smith Writes:
"And now, Afghanistan — and Kandahar in particular, which once burned at the centre of Canada's national interest — have all but disappeared from the public conscience since the Canadian combat mission ended in 2011, Smith said in an interview.
"Nobody likes to fail, especially if you're trying to do something good," said Smith, who now works in Kabul as an analyst for the International Crisis Group, a non-governmental agency that monitors the world's hot spots."
