[QUOTE="brett636, post: 304639, member: 249"] The reality is they want us dead along with Israel. The peace talks Bush has been holding between Palestine and Israel is truly a farce because the Palestinian leadership and their supporters don't want peace. They want Israel wiped off the map, and they will not stop until they achieve their goal. Its not the parent's job to volunteer their kids for the military. Its their children's choice to join or not. I don't know where you get the idea that McCain supports reinstatement of the draft. The only congressmen who have been pushing for a draft are democrats. You might want to do some more research, but my bet is that they have always been in Berkeley. It wasn't until the radical anti-war left started freaking out about them did you even hear about their presence. I've listened to a lot of soldier's stories and a lot of them want to go back. I also have several friends in the military and only one has gone to the middle east. I believe it was Diane Fienstien who tried to say that the state of California didn't have enough equipment or people left in their national guard to fight the wildfires they were dealing with a few months back. As it turned out less than 10% of California's guard troops and equipment were deployed to Iraq. Its not as bad as you think. Since its obvious you don't like to read the news I feel its important for you to know that we are making some serious headway in Iraq. Overall violence has been dropping for the last 6 months. The citizens of Iraq are exposing insurgent hideouts and weapons caches. Assuming this trend continues we could see some major withdrawals from Iraq without affecting the state of their security. Allowing for more government intrusion into our lives is not liberating anyone. In fact it is suppressing the freedoms we already have. I don't want the government in charge of my healthcare. I don't need them to provide for me, and I don't believe they should be providing for anyone else. This country is full of opportunities, and when people are forced to act they take them. Its when you allow the government to hand feed the people that you get a populous trained not to rely on their own devices for their needs. [/QUOTE]
