Is that what you believe is going on? - prevention of another 911? You believe Iraq was responsible? You believe that the changes brought about by the Patriot Acts will make you safe?

See the Benjamin Franklin quote in my sig.

I believe that what is being done now is more of what created the motive for 911 in the first place. But that's off-topic and would kill this thread as it has so many others. The topic here is the draft.

If people see that as their duty then it's quite simple isn't it. The question is whether waging war in Iraq, the wider Middle East and the defence of Isreal has anything to do with defending the constitution and US soil.

Neither does maintaining military bases in foreign countries where they are unwelcome, interfering in the politics of sovereign nations and providing clandestine support for the subversion of foreign governments.
