But yeah, isn't that kind of the idea behind this whole draft thing being brought up - that it will make politicians think twice about getting into wars?

Of course, all it really means is that those politicians will be guaranteed to have the numbers they need to go to war with whomever they wish.

oh, the "equal opportunity death" thing was a purely rhethorical device.

about the numbers, perhaps, but you wait and see those white middle class parents up in arms when junior is being sent to invade venezuela just because. those middle class parents who for the most part sat idly before 2003.

if one cindy sheehan created such a racket, can you imagine what 10,000 of them could do?
