For those interested in ending that war, for those wanting to effect change........Canada was never an option.

If the U.S. had been forced to arrest, prosecute, and send to prison, all those who went to Canada along with the resistors which they did......Would not that increased burden and the accompanying publicity have had a far more significant effect? How would the world view a "free" country with so many political prisoners?

For my brothers and sisters who fought in VietNam I have the greatest respect, whatever their reasons. For those who have fought off the demons for these many years, I have the highest admiration. For those who did not come back, some physically and some gone in spirit, I have great regret and wish their families a peace they may never know.

For those in Canada......You had your reasons I'm sure. I suppose "you can't put things right if you're dead at 19," but as the old sales managers line goes, "What have you done for me lately?"
