"'We have to decide, as a nation, whether our need for Middle Eastern oil is more important to our future than our conduct as a moral and ethical people.' Which brave presidential candidate would lay it on the line so clearly? None yet. And that's the problem with the national debate on the war in Iraq, and possibly, our foray into Iran as well."

What would make "us" a moral and ethical people rather than a nation ready and willing to go to war for foreign oil? Probably a draft that would send the children of warmongers to war just as quickly as the children of the economically vulnerable.
