National service forum at Columbia University Obama calls for US
military mobilization By Patrick Martin 13 September 2008

In remarks that clearly pointed toward the restoration of the
military draft under an Obama administration, the Democratic candidate
said Thursday night that his job as president would include demanding
that the American people recognize an “obligation” for military
service. “If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some,”
Senator Barack Obama declared.

Some people have been touting Obama as a "peace candidate" (except
for the war in Afghanistan, our bases around the world, the War on
Terror, etc.).  So...do you think he'd activate Selective Service?
