First principle of the Powell Doctrine is : military action should be used only as a last resort and only if there is a clear risk to national security by the intended target.

Then if this condition is met, in order to have overwhelming force, then yes a draft may be needed.

Panel: Agencies 'Dead Wrong' on Iraq WMDs
White House - AP


By KATHERINE SHRADER, Associated Press Writer
