ok - stepping back a bit. CR's bill is designed to open a debate on the draft. It's purpose is to get people to recognize the cost of war, and hopefully prevent us from rushing headlong into another war.

We can wrap ourselves in the flag, slap magnets on our cars and sing "support our troops" until the cows come home. We can do this very easily - when it's NOT our kid, our husband, our brother, our wife, our sister who is doing the fighting.

it's easy to ask other's to make a sacrifice, much harder when YOU are asked to do the same.

as far as things being different? different than when? different than the run-up to invading Iraq? in case you haven't noticed - we are being prepped for invading Iran.

Logic says we can't fight another war with Afghanistan and Iraq still going on - but since when does logic apply to the bushies? IF the draft were a very real possibility - how much support would the bushies get WHEN they really start pounding the Iran War Drum?
