Are you aware there are SERIOUS talks in Washington right now about going to war with Russia in support of Georgia? In reading this article, it gives little global perspective on what might be coming in our near future. Sites for troops have already been scoped and building site are mapped out. How old are your children, close to draft age? That may be likely if McCain is elected.

If you read the article, it is talking about putting missile interceptors in Poland, to prevent potential Iranian missiles from hitting Europe.


Also, in case you forgot, there is no draft, and the only person calling for it to be returned is Charile Rangel, a DEMOCRAT.

Is there a big fear of Iranian missiles in or near Poland? Does Poland have a great fear of Iranian invasion? Or is the real problem with Sweden and Norway? Maybe the Pole's will shoot those missiles down on the way to Goeteborg and Oslo?

I'm not sure I understand the reasoning, but I'm sure that since the US government has told us that the reason is to shield against Iranian missiles that it must be true and there can't be any ulterior motive. (BTW, ulterior motives are not necessarily bad.)

Missiles fired from Iran to Western Europe would have a flight path that takes them over Poland.

The missile defense site in Poland would not be designed to defend against missiles headed towards Poland.
