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...
