Too eager for war

Your Groton writer, "World war looms due to weak leader," (April 20), apparently doesn't believe in diplomacy or even sanctions, only military power.

Would that be the best way of avoiding another World War? I don't think so. Military power really worked well in Iraq, didn't it?
