Show War ar a good food idea Since when t. t By Carla Almeida Contributing Writer Operation Iraqi Freedom The whole world is ta talking about it Its It's been on on everybody's mind for almost two weeks now Along with that everybody has his or her own opinion about it A New York Times Poll published published published pub pub- three days after the war began said 70 percent of Americans support the military action Is that still the percentage percent percent- age of people who approve it My humble opinion about this is pretty straightforward I do not agree with war I think war is the least charitable and loving act there is At the same time I do donot donot donot not agree with Hussein and his reign of terror That is not worth a discussion since almost everybody else agrees he has definitely made wrong choices in his life What is worth discussion discussion discussion discus discus- sion however is why I think war shouldn't be an option I think of the Iraqi people a and t the e things they have to go through because of the dictatorship dictatorship dictatorship dictator dictator- ship they have been living under for many years Now I think of them being bombed all of the sudden while they are in their homes They didn't even know why and who was attacking them doesn't let any information get in the country without his consent Have you seen the pictures of civilians bleeding and how scared they look lately Probably not since they dont don't show these pictures on the news here Go to any international newspaper and you will see Do they really deserve that How is it fair to attack innocent people Why is isit isit isit it acceptable to kill them like that I hear people criticizing France and President Jacques Chirac all the time Isn't the US U.S. the country country country coun coun- try where people say freedom is the most important thing Anyone has the right to express his or her er opinions Now why is it so terrible for President Chirac to tell the world what he thinks He has the right to express himself too Or does that whole freedom talk only apply when inside the US U.S. The UN U.N. was formed for a reason Now if they dont don't approve something that is a good sign there is something wrong with it The UN U.N. is completely against the war with T Doe n P n d A 7 r t 1 Y- Y v t r rii I 7 Photo Courtesy of Time Iraq 1134 s r J resI JU ent Bush respect the theUN UNs U.N.'s s opinion I got an mail e-mail the other day comparing the education background background background back back- ground President Bush and his counselors have with what all the celebrities who are protesting against the war do don I agree that education is really important but someone doesn't have to have a degree from Yale to understand what is going on Let me tell you who else was very well well educated ed Adolf Hitler Now this isn't a protest against war by any means Remember its it's just my humble opinion War just goes against all my beliefs about how we must treat others with the respect they deserve On the other hand I see this war as a away away away way to free the Iraqi people Not the only way and surely not the best way but a way nonetheless Now we just have to hope and pray it will end as soon as ble 0 |
