The only way a draft would come about is if:
A) there was again a unified social attitude of the American public - the type that existed in the 30s-50s and in decreasing levels from 9/12/2001 - 2/1/2004*
B) there was a national crisis (or *perceived* crisis) that encouraged this unified attitude to become some sort of national service, which would solve or appear to solve the crisis.
If, for example, a nuclear device were set off in downtown Philadelphia, the response of the public would be 9/12/2001 *magnified*. It would demand a level of seriousness that most people hadn't experienced before. And a unified response.
*In my opinion, the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" benchmarks the end of the post 9/11 spirit and the complete return to paying rabid attention to completely silly things.
