Description
Another go at the debate over whether to offer unconditional amnesty to draft
dodgers and deserters, last discussed with Henry Schwarzschild (#S109). A high-energy exchange between our guest, who feels that this is "a decent, important thing for this country so we can get on with living together and solving problems and not unnecessarily creating suffering for ourselves," and our host, who argues that "the majority of Americans would not be united by the granting of amnesty, but would be disunited on the ground that they feel that this was a treacherous act towards those members of American society who followed the law."
