OH, CANADA
the obligation os a soldier to follow his conscience and refuse ilegal and inhumane orders from his superiors was, i thought, established at the war criminal trials after WWI. think what the actions of a country presumably guided by the rule of law say about that country when it conspires with another country's citizen, who is apparently not an official representatine of that country, to snatch a consciencious deserter. seems like desperate lengths to go to round up cannonfodder in order to avoid the draft, which would enlist the scions of lesser american "nobility;" it is obvious that the top tier have access to safety in that case, as GWB showed the world. bush, cheney, rumsfeld, and rove have earned war criminal status at the very least. let them be treated accordingly.
