my son alive.


Well, a true universal draft would put the screws to a military
expansionist like Bush. I'd go a bit beyond you and add draftees if it
were clear a real war was coming soon. I wouldn't want until we were
invaded.

But to invade a country as uninvolved in 9-11 as Iraq was, and on trumped
up reasons? No. If there were a universal draft, the parents would NOT let
someone like Bush send their kids overseas to die.

I'd like to see Bush read the names of the dead each day on TV, without
being permitted to say ANYTHING else. No condolences, no apologies, no
bull****. Just "Today's dead...", and then read the names.
