7. I think Bush's "credibility" also needs to be questioned...
Edited on Mon Sep-27-04 08:13 AM by Dawgs
Dean and Clark can push the draft issue by using Bush's credibility in the world.

If America is forced to send troops to Iran, North Korea, etc., the rest of the world will not support us... not even Europe. If Bush is still in office, America would have to go it alone. This means we either pull out of Iraq or reinstate the draft.

If Kerry is in office we most likely would have the support of Europe, France, Germany and every other nation that won't support Bush.

This is one issue that will change the mind's of mothers and young adults. In 1991, during the first Bush vs. Iraq war, there was talk of a draft. I was twenty, in college, in danger of being drafted, and I was scared to death.

I know my Aunt(who would vote for Bush) is voting for Kerry because of this issue. She has a 17 year old grandson.
