often times justice means it will 'cost' the majority of 'us'-

But, that in the 'long-run' it is still the best, and most 'fair/correct/just' decision or position to take.

I AM a pacifist- I don't believe in using violence and killing to settle a dispute. It hasn't proven very effectual in the history of mankind- Progress and enlightenment should mean not using the same failed methods time and time again, only to have the problems and disputes rear their heads yet again.
"the war to end all wars" will be one of peaceful negotiation.

But to expect others to do what 'we' want done, and not expect to have to bear our share of the burden, is hypocricy.

A draft, I believe, would gut the 'gung-ho' mentality that has allowed us to get into the hell-hole we now stand in, and cannot seem to get out of. It's easy to spend other peoples lives.
