U.S.: Canadian approach is a success in Afghanistan

By Matthew Fisher, Postmedia News November 1, 2010

Canada has come closer to working out an effective relationship between soldiers and civilians in Afghanistan than any other country in the world, according to a U.S. diplomat.

Bill Harris, the top U.S. diplomat in southern Afghanistan, believes that "people will write dissertations" one day about a Canadian-led Provincial Reconstruction Team he describes as a "wildly successful . . . irregular warfare unit.

"We honestly could not have grown as fast or as easily and come up to the level of effectiveness we currently perform at [if it had been] with any other country than Canada," Harris said.

Canada's so-called whole of government approach in Afghanistan has concentrated on the PRT since the former Liberal government ordered Canadian troops south -- away from Kabul -- in late 2005.

But the activities of the diplomats and other civilians assigned to the PRT have since received far less media attention than the exploits of the battle group.

Without using guns or bombs, Canadian diplomats, police, correctional wardens and other experts have helped shape the battlefield, Harris said.

"This is the closest thing to [counterinsurgency] actually being played out by the numbers that anybody has ever seen. The results have been phenomenal," he said, adding that the effort could not have been replicated by the U.S.

PRT director Tim Martin said his team has discovered practical answers "to how to deliver diplomacy, development and humanitarian assistance."

"Helping the government with education, water, rule of law, the police, getting teachers and administrators into the districts . . . that is a very important measure of success."
