There seem to be a common push among progressives to adopt a military draft as a political tool to 'end the war'. I just want one thing: tell that to your children.

::::::::

Tell it to them. Go to the facebook, mysite, etc. Tell to your sons and daughters that you consider their lives  as  political pawns. Tell them that  you want to  present their lives on the silver platter to Bush and Co. so that  ' everyone gets a taste of war'. Tell them that you want them all to be subjected to mortal danger as tools so that maybe then  they  get mad and  'stop the war'. Tell them  that 'it is all politics'. Telll them that  you want  all of them to serve, even the Bush sisters  so that  'rich kids also participate'. Tell them that you do not give a damn if before they stop the war some of them  might be killed. Tell them that you then will be upset  but it  still would be fair because  now  ' only the poor kids have to die'. Tell them  all that. And then  see what they answer to you.  Just   do not be surprised and try not to duck from the  spit. 

I can't wish good  luck here. I just can't.
