I hate to admit this . . . The only way to beat down terrorism is to build a strong democracy in the areas of instability. It kills me to say this. I don’t believe in war as a political tool. We’re going to be in Iraq for a long time . . . Maybe thousands of years, why? Just for stability as peace keepers.
And with that . . . Maybe we need a draft. I hate conscription. Maybe we are the new UN . . . Maybe it’s time to embrace it.
But our role has been tainted with the lies . . . I am so tired of the ideology, the end justifies any means.
Somehow we have to pull ourselves off the bottom of the barrel and climb to a much higher level. But if we’re going to stay in Iraq, then we need to let them govern themselves . . . We’re just there to support and keep annihilation from occurring.

C'mon Dan! We don't need no stinkin' draft!
Would you be willing to spread the word about www.draftresistance.org? It's a site dedicated to shattering the myths surrounding the selective slavery system and building mass civil disobedience to stop the draft before it starts!
Our banner on a website, printing and posting the anti-draft flyer or just telling friends would help.
Thanks!

PS. When it comes to conscription, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
