Living is Easy With Eyes Closed, Misunderstanding All You See

Congratulations to Ms. Heather Norman again for naming "Hey Now" by Oasis as the Wednesday Song of the Day.

I think almost everyone would agree that there are some interesting things going on in Iran these days, but I'm not sure if this is the best solution. I recognize that Mr. Kane has a unique perspective on the idea of service and sacrifice for one's country because of his experience with the Marine Corps in Iraq, but it seems as though he is arguing for an idea that is better suited to the past.
As geopolitics and warfare have moved into the 21st century, it does not seem that the mobilization of the armed forces through conscription is the best method to address situations that we do not have all of the answers to at this time. It seems that the current Iranian leadership would not be cowed into abandoning their nuclear aspirations simply because the United States decides to re-institute the draft.

Instead of trying to solve the problem of Tehran with the resurrection of the solutions from the past century, perhaps the international assembly should use the institutions and structures that already exist such as the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations Security Council.

I understand the resentment that exists towards some of these institutions and would admit that they have not always handled situations with the greatest care in the past, but this does not mean that these institutions are not capable of correcting the conflicts that arise in the global setting.
