Islamic State and Foreign Affairs Minister Rob Nicholson

Foreign Affairs Minister Rob Nicholson: The purpose, according to Foreign Affairs Minister Rob Nicholson, is to "degrade and destabilize this gang of thugs Islamic State , and in doing so, strip it of its power to threaten the security of the region, or to launch terrorist operations in Canada.", according to Rabble. Islamic State is the logical result of cascading, colliding, ill-advised and illogical western military misadventures in a volatile region full of deep-seated historic, religious, ideological, sectarian conflicts we can barely identify let alone wrap our minds around and This week, the Harper government announced plans to extend and expand our supposedly no-boots-on-the-ground, six-month military mission in Iraq. The reality is this soon-to-be-open-ended, bottomless money pit of a misguided mission will achieve none of Nicholson objectives, and may actually make us more vulnerable to terrorist attack in the future.
