LUDICROUS STANCE

In the Nov. 23 Virginian-Pilot, the president's spokesman said the chance that Americans will be killed in Bosnia is a risk ``well worth taking'' to achieve peace.

I find this ludicrous, if not criminal, from a man who dodged the draft and organized protests during Vietnam. Other young men stood up, did their duty and went to Vietnam, while Billy went to England.
