Cindy Sheehan Wants Canada To Welcome American Military Deserters

Cindy Sheehan is at is again. She is urging Canada to welcome deserters of the U.S. military.

Canadian soldiers have no business being in Afghanistan and their presence there merely enables the United States to carry on its "illegal and immoral" war in Iraq, prominent U.S. anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan said yesterday.

"I believe my country shouldn't be in Afghanistan anyway," Ms. Sheehan said at a news conference on Parliament Hill. "It's never about spreading freedom or democracy or making the world safe, it's about lining the war profiteers' pockets."

While lambasting President George W. Bush and the U.S. government for the Iraq war, Ms. Sheehan also fired broadsides at the UN-backed international mission in Afghanistan.

"My country supported Osama bin Laden in the fight against Russia," she said. "And now they go in and tear down that country. It's back in the hands of the drug lords, it's producing more opium than ever, and it's not safe. There's not any rebuilding going on, because it's being occupied by occupying forces."

Canada's deployment of 2,300 soldiers to Afghanistan simply "frees up more soldiers to be in Iraq," Ms. Sheehan said.

Ms. Sheehan and Canadian activists from the Council of Canadians and the War Resisters Support Campaign also called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper to "open the border" to U.S. military deserters.

"I believe our war resisters are legitimate refugees," Ms. Sheehan said.

Why doesn't she just move to Canada?

Hahahahahaha. Didn't anyone tell Ms. Sheehan that Harper is NOT Martin's successor?

Canada is a changing country. Changing for the better. The anti-war lefties missed thier chance to skip the border north after '04 and consolidate thier votes to keep the corrupt Lib/NewDem coalition in power. Now neoconservative facism is spreading to the northern part of the continent.

And you can't go to Mexico because, well, Mexico hates immigrants.

I hope you saved enough for airfare Ms. Sheehan. Things are not going your way in the world, and more then they are here.
