And I did say that no thinking person should support a draft UNLESS the loopholes are closed this time--to ensure that the children of the elite will be caught in it this time.

If anything, now that girls also stand to be caught up in the draft, the protests will be yet more powerful---and the incentive to ask the obvious questions that were not asked-- of the Bush regime-- by the elites before the Iraq war----though I and many other Mudcatters asked them---will be even greater.

I'm still waiting for a plausible answer to the question as to what, if not a draft, will prevent such a disaster as Bush's war of choice in Iraq.

And if you don't think an unprincipled combination such as Bush-Cheney-Rove can arise in the future, I think you're deluding yourself.
