OTTAWA: A clear majority of Canadians consider the mission in Afghanistan a lost cause, according to an extensive survey that hints at deep public skepticism about the war on terror.

Decima Research polled more than 2,000 Canadians last month just as Prime Minister Stephen Harper stepped up his efforts to promote the mission.

Fifty-nine percent of respondents agreed Canadian soldiers "are dying for a cause we cannot win" while just 34 percent disagreed with that statement.

An even larger majority said they would never fight in Afghanistan themselves under any circumstances-not even if they were forced to in some military draft.

It looks like Canada has the same "one-third" problem we do! :eyes:
