that's basically the point. republicans don't want the draft because no one would've gone for this dumb ass war. get it?
as it is right now, people don't care enough about it to make a big stink because it's being handled by people that are getting paid to do their jobs. this is why the draft was done away with in the first place, the money interests that benefit from these dumb assed wars are the republicans. the last thing they want to do is have to convince a bunch of people (IE the draft) that an imperialist war (IE Iraq) is worth fighting for. it wouldn't work.
that's why I am FOR the draft, as is Chomsky and Co. on the left. Because it would force the imperialists in our society to really have to present good reasons for war instead of just clouding everyone to the point of complacency like they did with this Iraq shit.
the draft is tantamount to regular people having the poser to vote on whethter the US goes to war.
