U.S. Anti-War Soldiers Escape to Canada: Paper
LONDON, April 19 (IslamOnline.net)
Evoking the exodus of young men north of the borders during the Vietnam
era, two U.S. soldiers against the Iraq invasion fled to Canada.
The Daily Telegraph said in a report published Monday, April 19, that
two soldiers are seeking asylum as refugees, arguing that they face persecution
for their beliefs - and in theory the death penalty - if they return.
Speaking from his new home in Toronto, one soldier shied away from urging
other servicemen to copy his example, afraid, he said, of being "seditious".
But he had this message for other soldiers with moral qualms about the
invasion of Iraq. "They need to do what they think is right,"
he said.
"If that means going to Canada, follow your conscience."
