America about to go to war with Iran
Proving they haven’t learned anything from the Iraq Disaster, Bush, Cheney, and the rest of the NeoCons are about to attack Iran. Iran is a larger and more populated nation than Iraq, not to mention one with far superior technology to that 80s scrap that Saddam had. According to the CIA World Factbook, Iraq consists of 437,072 sq km and has a population of 26,783,383. By comparison, Iran consists of 1.648 million sq km with a population of 68,688,433. Iran’s population is concentrated more in men of military age than Iraq (the median age in Iran is 24-25, while its 19-20 in Iraq; also about 70% of Iranians are 14-64, while a mere 50% or so of Iraqi are the same age).
Considering how overstressed our military already is (PBS has reported that they routinely send mentally ill soldiers back to Iraq because of manpower shortages), how can we expect to win in Iran? The obvious answer is that the draft is coming back. Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY15) has repeatedly campaigned (see his Wikipedia page) to bring back the draft. The draft, as should be fairly obvious, is slavery (see this website).
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” - the 13th Amendment
Obviously, the draft is blatantly illegal based on the 13th Amendment. If you’re eligible for the draft, be sure to check out this website. Unlike the NFL draft, this draft is one you don’t want to be selected in.
If Bush and Cheney follow through with their Iran War, Congress should, as the article I linked suggested, impeach both of them immediately. While I don’t really want Mrs. Pelosi to be president, at least we’d no longer have Bush and Cheney and their attempts to stick our nation in the middle of a Holy War between the 2 sects of Islam. If Osama and Ahmadinejad are busy fighting each other, they won’t be able to attack us. That is why we should pull out of the Middle East.
