Why be Afraid of the Draft?

It seems that people of draft age are afraid of the draft. Survey says more than 50% think Bush might be inclined to bring back the draft. This is a legitimate fear.

I remember that when I was of draft age and Bush invaded Kuwait, I feared that they might draft me. I think this is perfectly legitimate fear. And Bush gives us no reason to think he has no designs on instituting a draft when he goes to war with North Korea and provides logistical support for and Isreali attack against Iran.

There might be no reason to think little w will go after them. Bush only went after Hussein because he knew he was impotent. And to do it he lied. With Korea and Iran, we are sure they have the weapons they shouldn't. So we can probably be pretty sure that he won't go after them since they're armed to the teeth. Unlike Hussein.

But I think greater events will push us into conflict with these nations, and probably others if Bush spends four more years in office. We know he has a little trouble telling the truth. So, why believe him now? I do not find it suprising that half or more draft eligible citizens find it plausible.
