In this morning's paper, Gwynne Dyer talks about Iraq milestones, one of course that the 2,000th American soldier has died. Here is one of his reasons for the silence:
...Americans who are dying in Iraq are poor people's kids, and most poor people don't know how to organize and network politically. If there is no draft to threaten the lives of middle-class kids, there won't be a big anti-war movement.
I don't know if I want a draft, but it would give us a more diverse force, and that would be good.
