Teribus et al. giant intellects--

As a veteran, I'd say the good thing about a draft--which this time should not be so riddled with exceptions--and should include females--Mr. Bush's daughters, to pick a purely theoretical example----is that it will force the country at large to decide whether a war is really justified. The Iraq war needed precisely this discussion--before the fact----and didn't get it. It's one of the few ways to counteract a propaganda campaign. And the Bush regime is obviously a master at such a campaign--especially with a country still on edge and only too willing to believe its "leaders" as to the source of its problems.
