Do you think there will be a draft after the election?

If Bush gets elected, will there be another draft?

What about Kerry?

6. It's possible that the whole Iraq situation is about to get blown up

in the faces of the jackasses who brought it to us. I think Bush is doomed. I could be wrong, but I think the nation won't be able to tolerate one more second of him than it "has" to. If I'm right, we're about to witness some major unraveling that may get us out of Iraq sooner than anyone expected.

If Kerry and the Dems miss this opportunity to snap the neck of Bushism, it's possible that Iraq will morph into another kind of problem, i.e., into Kerry's problem. Then I don't know what will happen.

8. If Bush wins, definately.

If Kerry wins, yes also, unless he can manage to bring in other countries, but I don't see that happening. Nobody's going to want to clean up our mess unless it's for a darned good reason. Kerry not being Bush is not going to do it.

9. Damn

I'm only 16. I turn 17 in August. June 2005, will only put my birthday three months after the draft.

What are the requirements for the draft?
