Relax, Edwards is a good man, and I doubt he really wants a mandatory draft. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bit of sarcasm in what he said as well. I agree with Morpheus X.

It's just a tactic to scare the average voter into using some common sense. Would people be so quick to support war happy, war profiteering Republicans if there was a draft? If they or their children could be taken away and sent to whatever pointless war the Republicans decide to throw away our boys' lives on? No. Suddenly, every American would start to look a LOT more closely at every foreign policy decision and think far more about diplomacy. If we all valued the lives of our soldiers as we do our own because WE could become a soldier against our will at any point in time if the government says so, we would think long and hard before voting for any "Bring 'em on!" types of assholes. Also, for the record, it was a $200 hair cut, not a $400 haircut. And of course hes' going to have it maintained, though not at $200 each time! Some perspective: Look.. the man is running for president. He can use all the style points and advantages he can get. He's running for the position of leader of the free world, not the local PTA chapter. In this vapid, youth obsessed, MTV, plastic society, far more import is given to looks rather than substance. It's worth a $200 haircut if that one small bonus gives you the edge over the competition and you get to be president. Relax.
