OT Draft legislation
 

So what. Every country in the World is dependent upon a strong
America...both economically and militarily. They're own self-preservation
instincts will bring 'em around sooner or later.

When you find yourself at increased risk as the result of support for somebody
who is treating you like manure, the common
solution is unlikely to be *increasing* support.

The US has some major fence mending to do with the rest of the world,
regardless of the outcome in November.

But you claim that Bush is treating America like manure. So why are his
poll numbers sky-rocketing?

Because the Bush campaign spent more money "defining" Kerry than Kerry could
spend getting his message out so far.

An incumbent doesn't have to utterly destroy the competition, merely create
enough fear and doubt that the people will stick with the devil they know over
the devil they don't.

I'm sure Hitler's poll numbers were pretty high at this point in his
administration, too. Just because his electorate was stupid enough to
swallow the rhetoric didn't necessarily make his view of the world the
right, one did it? Or did it.....

Because Americans like simple answers to complicated problems, even if
the answers are wrong. For them to be otherwise would mean they'd have
to face the horrible reality, and that is this: our military might ain't
gonna resolve Islamist terrorism for us.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

Hitler was smarter than Bush, and a better speaker, too. While Bush
isn't the monster Hitler was...he's working on it.

I've never seen an historical account where it was claimed that Germany was
attacked by the Jews...or the French...or the Poles. Were they?

More proof that where Hitler wowed 'em with style, Bush prefers to wow 'em
with substance.

I figured that the horrible reality was that we would have to become what we
despise: cold-blooded, calculated killers willing to use any *AND ALL*
weapons at our disposal...just like the terrorists. I don't favor the use
of nukes...but the message needs to be sent that they will remain an option
if the killing of our troops continues to escalate. A war against the US
cannot be won.

Is it more humane to kill 100's per day times thousands of days...or doom
the same number of people in a matter of seconds? And which one has more
shock appeal to subdue the enemy by exhausting his will to fight? I know
how FDR chose to answer those questions.

I think a draft that does not exclude rich, white kids would be
delightful. It certainly would bring an end to unjustified militarism on
our part.

Oh? Did Bush buy some substance somewhere?
