  • Who's going to fight this war?

    Everyone I know of a liberal bent is so sure we're going to go to war with Iran (either at Bush's command before he leaves office, or if the candidate they support isn't elected), completely ignoring the fact that we haven't got the military might to do it. We can't even maintain our current troop levels in Iraq and Afghanistan; where are the hundreds of thousands of soldiers needed for a war with Iran going to come from? A draft? Does anyone think a draft bill would make it through Congress?

    The mythical war with Iran is just fearmongering on both sides.
