GULF
Continued from Page 1
Anti war songs and other
speakers follower! Furstner's
speech
"We ought to begin today
not only to talk about anti-war,
but to talk about pro-peace.
More importantly, we must
come together for peace and we
must come together for toler
ance.” said Bo Adan, an Eng
lish graduate teaching fellow
and member of the No Gulf War
Coalition.
At the symposium following
the rally, titled "Why are We
Here?", a four-member panel
discussed the historical origins
and political causes of the Per
sian Gulf crisis.
DeFazio. Dr Munir Katul,
and University professors Anita
Weiss and David Frank spoke
to a crowd that spilled into the
hallway outside the EMU Fir
Room.
DeFazio cited a "total abso
lute failure of U S. foreign poli
cy during the last 10 to 15
years" in the Middle East as
the cause of the crisis
"When foreign policy fails
and diplomacy fails, you're
confronted with war." DeFazio
said.
katul. an Arab-American
physician and Middle Hast ex
pert. said the United States'
concern over oil and its global
position in the post-cold war
era are the reasons behind U.S.
involvement.
He reminded the audience
that other countries have been
invaded over the years with no
U.S. response.
The Arab people feel the U.S.
applies a double standard to
the gulf because "we invaded
Grenada, Panama, and we were
condemned by the World Court
for mining the harbors of Nica
ragua. So who are we to go lec
turing other countries about in
ternational law?" Katul asked.
While Middle Hast govern
ments may support U.S. policy,
the Arab masses support Iraqi
leader Saddam Husscin"as
someone who has stood up to
the actions that George Hush
has taken."
Katul used the old Muslim
quote. "My brother and I
against my cousin, my cousin
and I against the foreigner" to
convey Arab sentiment toward
U.S. involvement in the gulf.
Dr. Anita Weiss, assistant
professor of international stud
ies and Middle Hast scholar,
voiced her concern about the
world-wide implications of
war.

"I am very concerned be
cause I don't think our govern
ment truly understands the glo
bal implications of a possible
war with Iraq. The implications
would go beyond the Arab
world." she said.
Weiss is also concerned
about the negative stereotypes
of people in the Middle Hast
and the fact that the University
offers no courses on Arab cul
ture.
“When you don't know
about the 'other' you are at the
mercy of what politicians and
people on the news broadcasts
tell you about them," Weiss
said.
Dr. David Frank, an associate
professor in the speech depart
ment who helped create the
peace studies minor, listed
becoming a conscientious ob
jector and working to enact an
energy policy as ways students
could become involved.
The symposium ended with
questions for the panel.
When DeFazio was asked
what action he and other con
gressional members would take
if President [lush attacked Iraq
without the consent of Con
gross, he said he would intro
duce articles of impeachment
against Hush.
