The Draft

I don't know, that I admit, but I bet those raw materials are available in any extremist mosque in Saudi Arabia.

Or in Cleveland. And it doesn't have to be a mosque, although that is currently trendy.

There is plenty enough anger in the world. The real difficulty is to get it to FOCUS rather than lead to greater disorganization.

That's a piece of the puzzle that a lot of people don't pay enough attention to ... most extremists can't plan their way out of a wet paper bag.

It doesn't matter that we are in a war on terror, because most people don't perceive it to be a war any longer, which is why more people are putting "irony quotes" around the words "war on terror".

Without that perception, the idea of a draft will be politically unacceptable and unviable, believe me.

You forget that the irony quotes are not being used inside the White House and that except for some brave individuals, the Republican majority in Congress seems to be in lockstep with Bush who still seems to still be listening to his Vulcans.

BTW, I am assuming that the term "Vulcan" refers to the "God of the forge" in Roman mythology. If not, then the (&*%* freaks should turn in their pointy ears for a severe lack of logic.

I know that, and for that I'm thankful.
