If the draft is re-installed, the american public will wake up. They will realize that loved ones will start to die. Support for the war will evaporate overnight. The war will end in a matter of weeks.

The politicians currently running the country rely on polls more than any in recent memory. (Just look at the whole Rice 9/11 testimony issue. They stuck to their guns on that until they realized how unpopular their position was. Then they flip flopped and let her testify.) Bush will have nothing to lose, since he will be in his second and final term. But his handlers will have a lot to lose.

The draft is very unpopular. It is political suicide for the party that passes it.

(edited for clarity.)
