In case you are keeping score along with us, three countries are now pulling out of Iraq:

Spain
Honduras
Dominican Republic

Add to the mix that Senator Chuck Hagel, a Republican from Nebraska, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, “Why shouldn’t we ask all of our citizens to bear some responsibility and pay some price?”

He then said that restoring compulsory military service would force “our citizens to understand the intensity and depth of challenges we face.”

You know what would have helped us “understand the intensity and depth of challenges we face”?

The Truth. Pretty simple. If you hadn’t lied to us before the war about the reasons for going to war, maybe you’d have a more sympathetic country supporting you.

“Those who are serving today and dying today are the middle class and lower middle class,” Senator Hagel pointed out. Yes, that’s right. Because rich people don’t go to war, right Dubbya? And they still won’t go to war if there is a draft, because we saw how many son’s of millionaries fought Vietnam.
