The American people will never get together (except for a protest here or there) because there is no Draft. We don't want war and we don't want a Draft.

Remember, the 60's occurred and evolved from an unjust war our leaders lied about, for corporate & military interest. The Draft unified the young people with other oppressed people in our society. African-Americans, women, the poor, etc.

Rove/Cheney know, as long as there is NO draft there is no way the American people can or will ever really revolt as they did in the 60's.

Bush will continue to say and do as he pleases, to complete the fascist corporate agenda, assure that democrats can never get elected (Diebold) and to continue to kill and war profiteer for as long as he is in office and beyond. If Bush had only a 10% approval rating, it wouldn't matter. BushCo is going to do what the corporations need to assure their indisputable power for many years. There is no stopping them.

Perhaps the "Downing Street Memos" will be the uniting force we have all been waiting and screaming for... "Why aren't people doing anything? Why aren't they out in the streets yelling and screaming?"

The media has a huge interest in keeping the public dumb, its to theirs and BushCo advantage to continue to do so.

Our media, the same corporate investors & war profiteering in oil, weapons, war, etc... The "five mafia families" (as Randi Rhodes calls them) are the republican owned media, The corporate media... Murdoch-FOX News, General Electric-MMSNBC, CNBC, NBC, Time-Warner-CNN, CNN HEADLINE NEWS, Viacom-CBS & Disney-ABC (not to mention, right-wing CBN owned by Pat Robertson). The same right-wing that pounds the air waves with 99% of talk radio.

You might say, but, the military is not meeting it's recruitment goals, they are 40% behind in recruiting, they have to have a draft, because we know they plan to invade Iran, Syria and who knows who else.

That's why they are closing bases and consolidating military forces domestically and abroad. To fill the military ranks, that are not being fill...The economy just needs to worsen a bit more, allow more jobs going overseas, college tuition out of reach and no where else to go but the military or jail (Got to steal to eat).

The military indeed has a recruiting problem and it remains to be seen how much more imperialistic BushCo becomes and what they plan to do about it. But a Draft, that would be crippling and perhaps deadly to the Bush administration and would completely finish them off.

With a Draft, the young and all classes & demographics would then, absolutely revolt.

Just as you see...tens of millions of angry people across this country, yet nobody in the streets daily, no central gathering issue. (Except for the Internet which pacifies us and helps get out ones frustration and keeps us from pouring out into the streets).

There are hundreds of reasons & issues this fascist administration has dictated and shoved down our throats, war, destruction of the environment, "Patriot" ACT, electronic voting machines, tax cuts for the rich, etc. etc...

And they will continue this same lying greedy corporate agenda....

Yet, everyone is bewildered, "why aren't people screaming in the streets" As long as the American people aren't starving and their bellies are full, there will be no daily mass protests or revolts.

Only hunger and a Draft will unite people and get them on to the streets, Shit, they stole elections and were still sitting behind our keyboards.

Rove knows very well, it would all end tomorrow if they reinstated a draft.

That's why they will be no draft.
