It would appear that the tactics being used to drive United States troops out, suicide bombers and indiscriminate bombing of any business associated with foreigners, is now going to reach a frenzy in Afghanistan; as it has in Iraq.
At least 41 people are reported dead, in a bombing that took place in Afghanistan today, with a foreign construction business the target; but as a police officer said, women, children and the elderly got caught in this latest bit of Taliban butchery.
Leave or stay. It's a Hobson's Choice, for certain.
Bob Herbert nailed it in today's - August 24, 2009 - New York Times. If there was a draft, or at least the threat of a truly universal draft - one such as Bobby Kennedy suggested, where even college kids got notice - there likely wouldn't be the on-going occupation of Iraq; nor would there be the saber rattling going on in regards to Afghanistan.
For that reason, and that reason alone, I say bring back the draft; or as Country Joe McDonald might put it, "the fuckin' draft."
If Glenn Beck has a kid, let's get him, right away - and everyone of the neocon Big Mouths' offspring.
