In the First Worl War all political powers expect one were for war. That was the Russian Communist party. It was the party of peace. Currently the liberal wing of the Democratic party in the US is very pro-peace. In the Europe same position than US Democrats is hold by ex-communist-parties. The European Social Democrats tend to agree with Neocons. So has the Us democratic party finally become a partially a communist party.

The coming wars in the Middle East are not just American wars. Australia sent conscripts to die in Vietnam during the Vietnam war. There are many NATO-countries more than willing to send their youngsters to die in the wars for Neoconservative agenda. Even some officially neutral countries promised to Bush Goverment numbers of the ground troops that will never be possible using only volunteers.

I think the real push for the draft comes from organizations like the VFW. If the vet organizations put their all to propose the draft it will happen. You cannot find many politicians being against ''supporting our troops and veterans when those who have served for us want that''.

The most serious issues are the issues of the war and peace. Foreing policy has always been and is always the first policy, not the economy. The war in Iraq has made a shortage of the troops in all NATO-countries. Still the hawks are wanting a new war. That it would be only a bombarment is that kind of thing similar to president's Bush ''short war in Iraq'' or ''sending only military advicers'' to Vietnam. The selective sercive system waits to activation and now Rep. Rangel D-NY has also proposed that. Reistituting the draft has always been a dream of the hawks since it ended 1973-1975. You cannot have a massive mobilization without it. The only reason for not having it has been the public opinion. The hawks are currently not in full power. There has not been a really major military operation since Vietnam. Big part of the post-Vietnam conservative movement can be understood as reaction to the withdrawal for Vietnam in 1973. Bush, Fox News and others preparing people mentally to major wars with tens of thousands of bodies even hunders of thousands men coming back dead. Thousands of young men survering PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, lost limbs and worse. The time of the most importan basic questions is now.

Pseudo-progressives in congress will join the GOP in coming call for selective service activation. Is the freedom of the young Americans so unimportant to ''liberals'' they don't choose this issue to fight. Or are many ''liberals'' in congress just conservatives in camourflage. The goverments most holy duty is ensure that young people are not forced to fight for wars for nation building dreams of the neocon hawks. Is the progressive movement going to betroy those who need it most?

When the war in Syria will come the US will need the military draft. The congress will propbably vote about that. It would prolly be progressive vs. all othes like 320-80 is a close guess.
