A better plan might be to let women decide on fighting a war or not. Or my favorite plan which is to assign the congresspeople who vote for war a spot in the front.
- branchless 11y agoI quite like the idea of politician's kids fighting to the death (if over 18). In the event of a mexican standoff we start sending in friends and then increasingly distant relatives. This would have seen George Bush Jr fighting Sadam's kids. I think it's hard to reject this idea.

Aristophanes' play "Lysistrata" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata) in which the women of Athens persuade their menfolk to end their war against Sparta by refusing all sexual relations until they do.
