    Of topic but your fervent "draft" comments are starting to scare me. I know a lot of kids that would be effected. I realize it probably is more of a devil's advocate thing but...

    Yeah, it is partially Devil's Advocate bc I know it won't happen, but if you're going to go run around and occupy other countries in an effort to win what you have defined as a war, then you need more soldiers. Period. Every general said so from the beginning. Shinseki said it and they fired his ass.

    And. look, I'm on the fence about how much of a threat to America islamic terrorism is - I mean as a fundamental civilizational threat. But if you're going to make the argument that it is on par with mid 20th century fascism and communism (which the Bushies DO make) , they why not ask the American people to make the same sacrifices we made that we needed to win those wars?

    Ajnd yeah a draft would suck, and I know lots of people would be effected, and many might die, and others wounded, but if you want to defeat this thing, and you define it as a war, then I don't see any other way...
