Entry: Bitch-Slapping Barack Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/btich_slapping_barack#24364 Post contents: Mike, "A war with Iran looms ahead. Accept it." No need to accept that as inevitable. A large-scale conflict with Iran makes reinstating the draft an absolute necessity. This fact again makes any US administration think twice. After all, it was the very concrete reality of being personally drafted and shipped to Nam that motivated people to participating in the campus riots against the Vietnam war, and those scenes would very probably be repeated. Only totally neocon-controlled candidates, such as McCain and Hillary, would take this kind of a risk. Obama is the one who may have enough liberty to say no to the neocons. Instead of damaging Obama, the doubts people have raised about his subservience to The Lobby may be a very strong positive in terms of votes. Sent at: 2008 07 04
