LETTER: War funds would be better spent on peaceful solutions

Editor,

We are a wealthy nation. Mayors of large cities can afford to turn down $10 million gifts. Perhaps it is time we use our wealth and technological expertise to end poverty and begin a program of universal education.

Violent reaction to violence does not end violence. Sept. 11 is a wake up call! We are no longer safe, protected by our two oceans.

So let's be daring, try something new and spend our money on finding peaceful solutions instead of dropping bombs.
