As a tourist,I happened to be at Halifax Harbor when a Ship filled with young Canadian sailors was going to the gulf war. The harbor was filled with thousands of people on private crafts, blowing horns, with signs everywhere about kicking Saadam"s Ass,etc. It was a party. In a way, I couldn't believe the jolly atmosphere. Old men make the wars and the young pay and pay.I've often wondered if they all returned safely. I don't mind telling you-I cried.
