Repealing Selective Service would be truely stupid.
Both Bush and Kerry are saying that there won't be a draft for Iraq, and I don't believe it will get to the point where it needs it (and if it does somebody screwed up royally and are willing to sacrifice their party's presidential chances for a decade in order to get us out of the mess).
The draft is there for times of national emergancy. For example, a major war against China or Russia, or an invasion of the US by somebody. Any other use won't pass.
