Description:	!What are your feelings about the war with Iraq?I think the war with Iraqis necessary. The thingsSaddam Hussein is doingto his people over there isridiculous. I have beenaffected by the warbecause three of myclose cousins are onships off the coasts ofKuwait. We get noticeevery once in awhile onhow theyre doing. All wecan do is hope for thebest and realize moregood can come out of thisfor the country of Iraqthan bad.-freshman JessicaKennedyI think that we are fightingfor all the right reasons,and we are keeping theU.S. safe. We shouldsupport our troops!-junior ShannonBomgardnerI completely supportPresident Bushs decisionto go to war. SaddamHusseins regime neededto be removed. I often feelthe Americans take forgranted the rights wehave in our country. Bygoing to war, we are notonly protecting our rightsas Americans, but alsorestoring those rights tothe Iraqi people.-freshman Laura ForneyIf we dont liberate theIraqi people, who will?Certainly not France. Weare in Iraq for a justreason. This war is notabout oil or imperialism.The age of imperialismended more than a centuryago. And to those whodenounce the warbecause it waspreemptive I ask them,would you wait untilhundreds or thousands ofour civilians aremercilessly slaughteredbefore you act? The bestway to neutralize a threatis to do it before itmaterializes.-junior RobertSchonbergerIm against the war.President Bush did notadequately prove thatmilitary action needed tobe taken. He hasalienated himself fromother nations and from thepeople he was elected toserve. Bush wants a warto position a spotlightupon himself. The troopshave done nothing to helpthe people of Iraq. Manyhave died and the countryis in ruins.-freshman Cait SengelaubMy thoughts are verymixed. I feel angerknowing that Americansare killing innocent people,and I feel happinessknowing we are gettingsomething done. Peopleneed to open their eyesand realize that were atwar, and everyone hasbeen affected.-freshman Lindsey FishalI am horrified by therecent attacks on Iraq.This is a monumental timein our history because theU.S. is getting way too bigheaded. The war is totallyunjustified and the mediamakes people associateterrorism with Iraq, whichis just ignorant. They saythey are liberating Iraq, butif liberating me meanskilling me, Id rather be leftalone. People think thatthis administration wontaffect them, but it will. Civilliberties are being violatedmore and more everyday.-sophomore OrianeRobisonI think what we are doingin Iraq isnt for our owngood, but for the good ofthe Iraqi people as well.Even if we dont supportthe war, we can stillsupport the troopsthough.-freshman JohnChambers4136 TFF 60TF/C
