The world is only as dangerous as our desire to pursue an irrational right wing foreign policy allows it to be. I've been a leading voice for foreign policy reform to make this world safer and I do not believe in using fear as a political tool.
False. The world is not dangerous because of our foreign policy (which is not even remotely right wing). Our foreign policy is a response to international events, not vice versa. We are also not using fear as a political tool. We'red saying conscription is something that should be an option. Not used, but an option. It's the supporters of this Amendment, with all their talk of slavery, that are using fear as a political tool.
You don't think the ability to introduce a draft and send people to die for the sake of some folly is a legitimate fear? Conscription is a massive infringement of human and civil rights, and quite frankly, we're no better than our enemies if we have to resort to that.
