My prediction is that this is exactly waht will occur.
1) Americans oppose draft and war in Iraq, but are pretty much apathetic.
2) Large scale Terrorist Attack on American Soil.
3) Americans motivated both by the attack and by the retoric of politicains
that we must go to full scale attack and war.
4) Politicians Hound the American people with fear.
5) Politicians define who the enemy is. Might not be true enemy.
6) American people get motivated to fight back.
7) Draft gets reinstituted.
Gee this sounds familiar.....doesn't it?

Part of living in this county and enjoying what it has o offer comes with the duty that when the time comes you should step up the plate, freedom is anything but free.
The real question we should ask is....Is our system of government so much better for people in these countries that we have a moral obiligation to remove corrupt, murderous, unstable governments? And if so, do we then have the right to use resources of our citizens to fight these wars.

If the draft IS reinstated it is the fault of the people because Parents are preventing Recruiters from coming to schools and showing kids what our military has to offer.
On a side note I herd the Military has thought of offering free umm Enhancements (plastic surgery) to get recruits
