Focus our study

Harper did not pull the troops out as he originally planned in 2011, instead, the mission has been extended till 2014. This agreement was made on November 12, 2010 along with other NATO members.

Perhaps, a more suitable question would be like:

Do you agree with Stephen Harper decision to extend Canada's mission in Afghanistan to 2014?

1. Strongly Agree 2. Somewhat Agree 3. Neutral 4. Somewhat Disagree 5. Strongly Disagree

I may be going out on a limb here, so don't take this the wrong way but asking a question like that is probably above the understanding of the many. It is not to say the many are incapable of understanding/computing such an question, but that most aren't exactly experts in foriegn policy.

For example, one would need a greater understanding of the conditions in Afganistan and the political/economic reprecusions of leaving.

The question you pose is somewhat vague and might question validity/reliablity. It may just lead to answers triggered on emotional response.
