I am writing in response to two opinions written on page 4 of last week's College Voice. I feel that Both Yon! e eman and Nate Avom need to re-examine what is really driving their beliefs on the War in Iraq. Even though y are on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of supporting or opposing the war, both of them take their opin- s so far Over the top that all sense of logic is being left behind. "r Nate: . First ?f a~l, I would like to say that I greatly admire your courage to fast for a cause that you believe in. Isn't it ,at to, live In a country where you can freely express your beliefs? However, I feel that you are completely rnis- ded In your approach to the situation in Iraq. Let me explain. First of all, the United States has not acted undemocratically in terms of the War in Iraq. You may not support war, but most of the country does. There is no way that on such a controversial issue over 90% of our country uld feel one way or another. We aren't Great Britain; we are an enormous country with a large amount of diver- y and a variety of interests. The government isn't listening to you because you only represent the minority view the war. This isn't Vietnam, where the government refuses to acknowledge that we have lost the war and that pular opinion has shifted against it. We won this war in a month's time, and the majority of America supported r go.vernment. And don't give me that crap about the Government lying to us about the amount of support for q; like I've said before, if Bill Clinton couldn't even get away with a blow job, there is no way in hell that our . Toorder these tsnirts, visit ;.,: ,rrent president could pull off a scheme that directly lies to the people about national opinion in Iraq. This isn't , seventies anymore; everybody is skeptical about government and government scandals aren't easy to pull off. Secondly, you say that you are against wars in the Middle East because they will increase terrorist attacks in our www.frontpagemagazine.com-\ untry, which directly threatens you. Nate, everybody is scared of terrorist attacks. But can we really let terrorists ctate our foreign policy? I suppose next time we should get Osamu Bin Laden on the phone and give him a bribe stop him from setting up another attack. You talk about us breeding terrorism, as if it wouldn't exist if we didn't Do you ever wonder HOW you acquired so much stuff here at Conn.? into Iraq. But September IIth happened before Iraq even was an issue. Do you honestly think that if the United ,• ates, from this moment forward, backed off from any aggression in the Middle East, that terrorists would just say ell ... they've learned their lesson ... let's end the violence?" I seriously doubt it. These people do not value human Are you studying abroad next semester? e (including their own!), HATE us with a passion, and simply backing off at this point in time will only lead to ern thinking that actions such as those of September ll th will not be responded to by the most powerful country Looking for a place to store everything for the summer or a semester9~ the world because we are afraid of them, which will in fact lead to further terrorist aggression.

J Furthermore, the only thing more dangerous than a terrorist attack such as September 11th is if terrorists could tain nuclear weapons. And that's the whole reason we fought this war! You couldn't possibly put it past a man . ch as Saddam Hussein, who already kills his own people and hates us so much that he would happily see our peo- e die, to sell weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups, especially if he were faced with an economic crisis his country. There's a simplq AnSWer· •• You then proceed to make the argument that [ have grown to resent, which is that terrorism is a cultural phe- menon and that we are essentially responsible for terrorism and September 11th. This argument is so ridiculous t it makes me cringe with fright that people in our country could possibly think such a ridiculous notion to be the South Shore Landing Self-Storage Guth. Let's get one thing clear; we should respect other cultures and beliefs, but nothing is a justification for the 'ass killing of innocent people. I don't care if September II th "was fundamental Islam's attempt to make an ongo- ~g cultural war, which they had been losing, into a shooting war that they think they have a better chance of win- .mug," The reality is that they killed thousands of innocent people 00 those planes and in the world trade center who Special college-student prices ve no direct connection, as you put it, with the government's attempts to spread western dominance. Being fun- We've got you covered. Aimental Muslims is not an excuse for what they did. Was our oppression of the Native Americans justified because e were doing it in the name of Christianity, and "enacting God's will to make these savages faithful and cultured?" o religion can justify the mass killing of innocent people. 1don't care if you believe in a religion in which a fish 23OlShore Road med George who lives in your anus is the holy spirit, and that the only way to achieve enlightenment is by smok- crack and listening to "Livin la Vida Loca" at extremely loud volumes; if you perform an act such as the one Old Lyme, CT. rforrned by Al Quieda on September llth, you're going down. Surely the cultures of Muslims, Christians, and MIS must learn to co-exist, but the fact that you act like a couple of nutball terrorists accurately represent the beliefs 434-5023 the largest religion in the world frightens me. Iwould also like 'to put an end to this discussion that we are terrorists ourselves through "bombing Afghanistan, Call us! d starting war in Iraq," The key difference between the United States and terrorism is that one fights to create ,ange through a war policy that minimizes civilian casualties, and the other fights to create change by directly ling civilians. The differences are enormous; if Al Queda attacked the United States with OUR RESOURCES, 'illion.§:__ofour people would die. Yet we managed to take out the Iraqi regime and kill jU~Lover5000 innoce~tciv.il- 'So Nobody likes to see civilians 'die, but when we bomb Afghanistan or send troops into Iraq, we are primarily ·ng out military targets, and civilian causalities are minimized.

If the ~mted States had the sam.e mentali(~ as ...orists, we would have destroyed the entire country of Iraq and all of 1tS people, rather than simply oustmg ·adam Hussein from power while minimizing the amount of civilian casualties. :Yoni: ', I supported our troops during the War with Iraq, and I felt the war itself was justified. H,owever reading your ece in which you compare the War with Iraq to Passover frightens me about as much as Nate s justification for his Joion on the war itself. ... . v· key difference in the War on Iraq and Passover is the followmg: one 1Sfact and one IS speculation.
