Letter: War should be last option

I wish everyone who wants to go to war, without first exhausting all diplomatic means and getting the support of our allies, would visit a veterans hospital. There are thousands there whose lives were ruined in their youth.

These ex-soldiers suffer daily, but are forgotten. Many were crippled in Vietnam. Do we want to add to their numbers without first attempting to eliminate Saddam Hussein by means other than war?

Surely there must be a way to eliminate any individual without declaring all-out war on his entire country.
