Depends on what you mean by 'help'.

The war in Iraq (and any other extremely unpopular war) can only be fought with an all volunteer army.

As soon as a draft is implemented, the average American becomes more invested in the war and it's legitimacy.

Politicians would have to develop an exit strategy immediately following the implementation of a draft.
