During the Vietnam War, men were drafted which was altogether different. It seems ridiculous to me that Galloway was refused entry. Galloway is at the very least an interesting guy although too much of a showman. I tend to think any good he does is by accident, something incidental to getting lots of press. Further, while I support the people of Gaza, I don't agree with anyone who buddies up to Hamas which at bottom is a religious organization that wants a theocracy and shoots rockets, neither goal I would support. It all looks to me like one big photo op for Galloway. US war resisters are in the military by choice and therefore should face the consequences of their actions.

Omar Khadr was fifteen at the time of his capture (and near murder), a child soldier under the UN Protocol Concerning the Safety of the Child, to which Canada is a signatory, and which calls for such child soldiers to be supported and rehabilitated, not tortured as was Mr. Khadr. Harper's complicity in acts of torture is a disgrace.

These P.R. blunders must surely come home to roost.On his side is an economically fearful population justly known for small c provincialism. It turns out that modern North Americas roots are not so embedded in freedom of speech. I only wish an Orwell equivilent could be found somewhere in this trash heap of Cowboys, Sodbusters, and Bankers.

Her policy against Muslims is indistinguishable from the United States and Israel. Canada is guilty of supporting war crimes around the world. The population of Canada, like the US, Australia and other Western countries, benefit from phony ‘war on terror’ – zionist war - and is deeply involved in the war against Muslims.

They let a war criminal in (Bush) and ban a peace advocate. Pathetic. Canada banned the wrong guy. They let a war criminal in (Bush) and ban a peace advocate.

Pathetic.
