A New Kind of War

We should be over war, Collins says.

Billy Collins: Well alternatives to war.  Again, I was listening to a talk earlier today which talked about lifting Idi Amin out of Uganda and placing him somewhere else without destroying the whole country.  I mean ways of neutralizing dictators that are less . . . or that are more humane and less destructive than just an all-out war on the country.  I think a leader that would have a more inventive sense of strategies, because we need some new paradigm.  I mean war is; it should be . . . we should be over that whole paradigm of just throwing our youngest people into the face of danger.
