Afghanistan: Spring has Come Again

Every year in Afghanistan there becomes talk of the Spring offensive and, every year we see a huge uprising of attacks in comparison to the winter where they are much more limited. Most of the Canadian soldiers that are killed in Afghanistan are during the warmer months. It seems the Spring offensive has already begun as two British soldiers and 11 Afghan police died in Kandahar today, and 15 more died in the previous week. I hate to believe this summer may be worse then the last, but I see no foreseeable change for the better any time soon.
