One article I disagree upon

Hey rudy, I support your endeavors because I think war is ugly and if we can avoid it so be it. But I don't agree against hard-liners that oppose war because it's war. There's a difference. For example that link you provided with this article:

--"The Bush administration is intent on plunging America into a war that will only increase danger for Americans and the world. At the same time education, healthcare, and the economy are being neglected."--

Increasing healthcare, education and our economy is a solution for our internal problems but doesn't address the problems around the world. Focusing and isolating ourselves doesn't decrease the danger for America and the world by leaving tyrant dictators such as Saddam Hussein impose his will in the Middle East. Furthermore, eduation, healthcare and the economy may still be neglected even if we weren't focusing on war... We've had these problems since the beginning of the 60's, ie social security, healthcare, unemployement, welfare, and there hasn't been any answers since.

Now while the Bush administration may be strong advocates of war, I don't agree it will increase danger any more than the danger that we have looming over us right now. We must limit and enforce the nuclear arms sanctions by any means. If UN inspectors and negotiators work then that's great, but if it doesn't then I feel deposing Saddam is our only salvation. There will be more saddams, kim jongs, except in a few years they will probably be armed with nuclear arsenals. Anyhow, support the war if it helps, and oppose the war if it does not!
