1. The majority of the public could care less....
... how many casualties there are. But if there is a draft and its possible that their son or daughter could go to Iraq, then the causality number will be way to high.

If the draft were to be reinstated, would their daughters be drafted?

2. My belief is that when
the death toll from the Iraqi misadventure equals the death toll from Sptember 11, 2001 the shit will hit the fan in the minds of an American majority.

5. That may be sooner then we think..
My records indicate that 2,973 we killed on 9/11.

As of Sept 22, 2005 1,870 have been killed in Iraq. If the rate of deaths does not increase then we would be a little les than a year away.

7. Christians will not care
Keep on killing american soldiers george bush. That is their credo. Fuck the numbers. Christian conservatives are destroying America from within because they are too proud to admit they are and have been wrong all along. So as long as American blood is being shed in Iraq they will never have to say they are wrong and if american blood is shed there for another ten years, then that will be fine and dandy for those who hate in the name of Jesus Christ.

6. Excellent Question
I truly and sincerely believe that as long as george bush is president, christian conservatives will not be fazed by whatever the number of dead american soldiers he racks up is in this venture.

If we have 50,000 dead americans with no end in sight, and no victory in sight, christian conservatives will continue to wave their flags and preach hate against liberals from pulpits all across this land. (And they will also avoid the army recruiting offices in record numbers.)

Christian Conservatives are destroying this country from within.

8. I am trying to recall from Vietnam when the public started wanting
a pullout. There were many enormous demonstrations back then and there was a draft. We are nowhere near that now. It was such a different time
