It's not easy being the President of Afghanistan, but Hamid Karzai has just such a job. And he has noticed that world opinion has shifted concerning his home country. This has prompted him to communicate with world leader's the need for support in his fledgling Democracy.

The Taliban and allies such as the al Qaeda network have stepped up raids in the past 18 months in Afghanistan despite the presence of nearly 50,000 foreign troops led by NATO and the U.S. military as well as some 100,000 Afghan forces. In that period, thousands of people, including more than 200 Western troops, have died in the violence, the bloodiest since U.S.-led troops overthrew the Taliban government in 2001 in retaliation for the September 11 attacks on the United States.

Karzai was in Canada to strengthen military ties.
