War is never the answer to problems.
No military solution exists for the intractable conflict with Iraq. Without Congressional and UN Security Council support, U.S. military enforcement of disarmament law in Iraq may well undermine respect for the rule of law worldwide. Further, bombing now will probably increase the humanitarian crisis in Iraq, putting yet more lives at risk. The U.S. and the UN can do the most good now by exercising a reverence for life. We should forego the military option and continue the difficult diplomatic process to resolve the problem.
