America reacts
as war continues

Anti-war protest
in DC. includes
students from UK

By KAREN BALLARD
Staff Writer

WASHINGTON — As a crowd
of anti-war protesters chanted
“Gentler, kinder, George needs a
reminder", Robert Cammack and
other students who traveled here
from UK made sure the president
got one.

“People aren’t really aware that
people are over there dying," said
Cammack. “It‘s getting drowned
in the media like highlights from a
basketball game.”

Organizers said about 200,000
anti-war activists expressed their
opinions and waved signs while
marching down Pennsylvania Av-
enue in the nation‘s capitol Satur-
day afternoon, protesting the con-
flict in the Persian Gulf.

They urged an end to the bomb-
ing of Iraq but insisted that they
support American soldiers just as
much as the war’s backers do.

Hundreds of Kentuckians joined
their counterparts from across the
country. Friday night, four buses
left from Louisville, one from
Lexington and another from Berea
for Washington. Others carpooled
from the UK campus to make the
trip.

Patrick Keenist, a graduate stu-
dent in sociology, said he was
there “to get some direction and
some leadership" that he didn't
think Americans are getting.
“There's more to this story than
what is being told," he said.

Ruth Jameson, a senior at UK,
said she felt that “we need to be
aware that this is notjust an isolat-
ed incident, but that it‘s part of the
perpetuation of the entire industri—
al military complex and that our
economy needs the war to survive.
and that is wrong."

Holly Hardin, a junior majoring
in history, felt strongly opposed to
the war and said she was at the ral-
ly because she has two brothers in
the armed service and was con-
cerned about their future.

Chris Cuttitta, a fifth-year archi-
tecture student, said that she didn‘t
feel “if we don’t say anything it
will be taken for granted that we
agree with him."

Failed foreign policy reason for war

By MARY BETH MAZZEO
Contributing Writer

Failed foreign policy and an ig»
norance about the Arab world
caused the United States to stum-
ble into war with Iraq, said a New
Yorker magazine staff writer.

Milton Viorst of the New Yorker
told about 60 people Friday after
noon in a speech at the Student
Center that the American media
are reporting an unrealistic and
biased view of the Persian Gulf
War because they also do not un-
derstand the Arab world.

Viorst, who returned to the
United States in October after

spending three months in Bagh-
dad, said the American media
have emphasized the US. per—
spective of the war and ignored
Iraqi reasons for invading Kuwait
Aug. 2.

“We are getting a glossed-over
view of what is happening," Vi-
orst said in an interview after his
speech. “There is a lot more going
on than I really appreciated. The
more I learned, the more 1 real-
ized that we were deluding our-
selves with a biased view.“

Viorst said he is “profoundly
opposed to the war" because “I
think that we could have achieved
these objectives without war."

“War must be an instrument of
last resort, and I don't think that
this was a last resort situation,"
Viorst said.

Rather than issuing ultimatums
against Iraq, Viorst said, an inter
national peace conference should
have been proposed by the Allied
and Arab coalition, in which sew
eral issues could have been ptit on
the table, including the Kuwait
conflict. the Middle East arms
race, Israeli-Syria relations anti the
creation of a Palestinian state.

Viorst criticized President Bush
for asserting that Iraq is “sunning“

U.S. ground forces ready in a month

By EDITH M. LEDERER
Associated Press

DHAHRAN. Saudi Arabia —-
American ground forces will be
ready to attack the lraqi army with-
in a month, and an air strike seems
to have thwarted Iraq's effort to
flood the Persian Gulf with more

oil, US. officials said yesterday.

Massive allied bombing raids
continued over Iraq. and in one
dogfight two American warplanes
downed four lraqi fighters, they
said.

On the ground, U.S. Marines
learned how to negotiate deadly
mincfields and penetrate elaborate

fortifications.

Defense Secretary Dick Cheney
announced US. soldiers will be
prepared “before the end of Febru-
ary" to launch the ground offen-
sivc.

Cheney said that although rc-
lentless allied air attacks against
Iraq have been successful, they

alone Will not drive Iraq from Ku-
wait.

If all servrccmcn and women in
the region were used, such a con-
frontation would pit 675.000 al—
lied troops. including 480,000
Americans, against 540.000 Iraqi
soldiers in and near occupied Ku~
wait.

Student board
may challenge
insurance law

By TOM SPALDING
Editor in Chief

Kentucky's Board of Student
Body Presidents may challenge the
constitutionality of a state law re—
quiring college students to carry
health insurance.

At a meeting on the UK campus
Saturday, board chairman Sean
Lohman was given the go—ahead to
file an injunction stopping implc
mentalion of the law if attorneys
agree it is unconstitutional and if
legislators don‘t plan to repeal fl

“I guess it is a pretty big step but
it's sotiicthmg that needs to be
looked into," Loliman said. “Stu—
dans don't want this."

The law, which takes effect Sept.
1, requires all full- and part-time
students taking time or more hours a
semester to carr) healtti insurance.
The insurance must pay for a lli)\Pl
tal stay of at least l4 tlll}\ and 5f)
percent of related iloctor‘s lccs 'l h-

While student lcadcr~- support t‘i:

ing another fee to the cost of attend

expensive for some to afford.
