A draft would be a great idea. Probably the only way to kick-start the peace movement. The fact that there hasn't been an effective peace movement since the draft ended isn't a surprise to me.
When middle-class kids realize that a war on Iraq might mean that they actually have to go and fight people, rather than sending over poor kids who volunteer to do it for them, perhaps they'll be a lot less sanguine about it.
