Northern exposure
American soldiers are fleeing the Iraq war for Canada -- and U.S. officials may be on their trail. North of the border is no longer the safe haven it was during the Vietnam era.
By Gregory Levey [2007-05-03]

  • Difficult for All

    During Vietnam the deserters were drafted and had not volunteered. That makes deserting to Canada a more difficult decision for everyone. Having to return for the third or fourth time to the mental tortures of Iraq would test anyone. Therefore, I don't think I have any real basis for judging their personal decision. However, they have to be willing to accept the consequences of that decision.
