64. And what about the people who will die as a result of a draft that you support?
You will be just as morally responsible for their deaths as those who voted for this war in the first place.

You're treating human beings like play toys for politics, I cannot believe anyone who identifies as a Democrat would do such a thing. You really ought to be ashamed, being for the draft is not a valid point of view. This isn't some theoretical position that won't affect anyone, your position will get even more people killed, on top of the unbearable tragedy of those getting killed now.

Being against the war is not just being against Bush. I know at least I want these soldiers to stop suffering and to stop dying. I want their families to stop losing their soldiers.

This isn't just some damn debate, this is reality, and in reality you're arguing to send more people to die, not less. We want to stop these deaths, we want to do everything we can to reduce them and stop them, not add to the horror.
