US Deserters flee to Canada to Avoid Service in Iraq
The article mentions that 5,500 soldiers have gone AWOL in the past year, though only a small number of those have come to Canada. Now, I'm of two minds of this. One, I absolutely support anyone who wants to avoid serving in Iraq. On the other hand, I also firmly believe that anyone who is capable of voting against Bush and the Republicans has a moral obligation to do so. Like the muslim concept of defensive jihad (the defense of muslims being persecuted by non-muslims) this is not an option, but a requirement of basic humanity. So. What to do?
