Then if you studied your history we'd still be a part of the United Kingdom. Each colony drafted people to serve in the Revolution. Over 75% of the colonies wanted to remain with Brits. The Civil War would have been won by the South. How else would you get farmers from Illinois or Wisconsin to fight a war over slavery. Think of the time period. Most wouldn't help out his neighbor if he was Irish and the other was German. You think they'd actually give to rips about some slave in Georgia or Virginia? The draft made it possible. Drafts have their place. WW1, WW2, the Cold War and the like. Great national threats. If we were taking on all of Islam then perhaps but your average person in this region is just like us. Good schools for the kids. A job for them. Nice home with running water and electricity. Good security and police. Just like us. They're rebuilding a country and don't need one. Neither do we.
