Disagree that US or any Western country should "lead". As for the draft, I will defer to the military who says they are not interested. But I do think there should be a "war tax". Only people with sons of a certain age would be subjected by the draft - let the rich send their dollars off to war.Ed Crottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103923868669472908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183955164740657319.post-78618017772517392102015-11-18T09:58:41.410-06:002015-11-18T09:58:41.410-06:00Vietnam seems like a better comparison both in ter...Vietnam seems like a better comparison both in terms of tactics (asymmetrical warfare) and motivation (reaction to occupation) of the "enemy". I guess I should make clear that I am not a fan of ISIS but I think when you consistently invade a region and set up oppressive puppet regimes to strip it of its natural resources you are going to be complicit in creating people lost to violent reactions. I think the United States needs to take some responsibility for its role in creating this Frankenstein if it hopes to find new and apt ways to defuse the situation.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14318056238726954566noreply@blogger.com
