Funny you should mention Clinton going to Russia....when he was first elected he went to Czechoslavakia... When the motorcade of Presidential Limos were going thru Prague , they stopped at a little coffee-shop to everyone's surprise. It was an unscheduled stop , but many years earlier when Bill Clinton was a Rhodes scholar in England , he went off on a trip to Russia and stopped in the city of Prague . In that same coffee shop, years earlier, young Clinton discussed and argued politics with another young man who was a Czech poet/playwrite....who later was to be jailed for his beliefs by the authorities for many years ...(seven years i think,) soon after the young scholar Clinton traveled on . That same Czech young man that Bill Clinton had met and discussed politics in that little coffee shop years earlier in Prague ....and jailed for so many years... the same year Bill Clinton was elected president to his first term by the people of the United States, as President... Was elected the President of the free republic of Czechoslavakia. ....yes i know , i know ....you want Olly North for president---->the loyal and the brave!<ggg>

in what country I can't say for Clinton. If it were me I would go to Scandanavia since that's where my ancestors hail from and I'm partial to they way the people and women look ( It seems to be universal to want to be near people of similar appearance first, and similar ideas second). If I had to guess I would think he would stay in England if he were to avoid the war, or enlist in the Navy if he did not want to jeporadise his standing in the U.S. The little town where I grew up scattered during the Vietnam War. Some went to Vietnam and one was wounded. Some went to college and tried to keep deferred. None went to Canada (which was a long way from Texas) but this only a sample size of about 100 male kids in the whole area. If I remember about 3 or 4 enlisted in the military right away, another 3 or 4 enlisted when they got draft notice (enlistment gave you some choice in assignment). I remember those days well. After the Tet offensive it was clear the war was lost. Uncle Walter said so. If it weren't for the courageous people protesting that war, we may still be fighting it to this day. America couldn't be defeated, it just couldn't win. It was a time of personal decision of how best to survive the mess, whether on the homefront or abroad. Clinton and Al Gore both took curageous stands in that confict, one to risk a lot by opposition, another to risk what orders might be received in harms way. If there was a chicken way, it was to pull strings to joy ride while wearing the colors of the U.S. TP
