Don't mention the dead or the draft
Dubya will not visit or acknowledge those he is putting to death. In a report in the Guardian, it examines how the WH will not allow any media coverage of the war dead when they are brought back home. It is interesting to note that the dead and dying are mainly poor whites, blacks and hispanics. In this war, the rich benefit with contracts, the middle-class pay for the war with their taxes (that were not really cut) and the poor give with their lives. I think that is a fair trade off to live in the world's only superpower. Don't you?
However, I think it would only be fair to bring back the draft so all those Halliburton execs sons and daughters and all the children of those who voted for Bush can die for him too. But I don't see it happening anytime soon. However, it might when they realise that they don't have enough soldiers to go around. And it might wake up the youth today to get more involved when they get their draft cards like the youth did in the 60s and 70s during the Vietnam War.
