Reply #70: The Draft, and pretty much only the Draft. The millions of us who march now... [View All]

...are still too polite to be seriously noticed by either Bush or the MSM. On the whole we take out parade permits, arrange our marches to coincide with weekends and holidays, cooperate with the police...

A military draft of our young people would shortly cause civil unrest. This war is already incredibly unpopular, and although the propaganda machine will manage to convince just enough people that invading Iran is justified, very shortly that will also dawn on the majority of the public that a war with Iran is a really bad idea.

Start drafting people's sons and daughters for a new war, and there will be trouble. Somehow I think the marchers will start showing up in Washington in mid-week and snarling up traffic in a big way.
