Canuck,
The Law is an Ass! You show me one person, any person, who does not break one of the hundreds of thousands of stupid laws on our books in any given day. Our legal system is so bogged down in its own sense of importance it is ridiculous.
Number two, I think war and the military is even more ridiculous and an absolute waste of time, money and life. So, screw the law and screw the military. And now that we have joined the US of Aggression in war (as opposed to peace keeping) we are open to retaliation from those we are oppressing. We now have enemies (because we are in Afghanistan) where before we had none.
Bring home our boys and girls and dismantle the military. Time to take the stance that Gandhi took and lead the world into a peaceful future. Outlaw arms manufacture and war. As far as the Yanks go, to paraphrase Cheech nad Chong, "Bailiff, whack their pee pee!"
