How many deaths will it take?

The U.S. military hammered the daylights out of the Iraqi military, occupied the country, overthrew the government and put their leader in jail, all within a few months time. From a military perspective I'd say thats a pretty effective ass-kicking. The military did their job well.
Whether they should have been sent there in the first place is a different question though. You can argue that the evidence suggested they had weapons of mass destruction and a nuke program which justified our attack. But those things were not found so the question now is why are we still there?

This is a little offshoot of the thread ( hope you don't mind Boss Tweed). It doesn't look like Bush or Kerry has any intention of exiting Iraq in the near future. The military is already using reserves and keeping regular soldiers beyond their normal tour of duty to maintain troop strength. So it is not out of the question that a draft will be needed to continue the war. Some of you guys are young enough to be drafted, but are opposed to the war. What will you do if you get a letter that says you're drafted?
