Invade Iran = reinstatement of the draft.

No fucking way could we avoid it. Iran ain't the push-over Iraq was. At least we'll eventually get another spiffy war memorial on the DC mall some time in the future over it!

We'll also be getting a re-engorged military-industrial-congressional complex from it, besides. It's too bad all those young patriotic kids will have to die for it, though. Kinda like marching sacrificial virgins into a volcano. And just as superstitious.
