Meetina echoes anti-war sentiment
By Brian Bloch
fcmerald Reportei
More than 100 people e< hoed
an overwhelming anti-war sen
timent during a crowded town
meeting at the Lane County
Courthouse in Kugene Tuesday
night
just hours before the United
Nation's deadline for the
withdrawl of Iraqi troops from
Kuwait, a panel of four speak
ers led the crowd on an emo
tional discussion of the Gulf
crisis.
In the face of a likely con
frontation between the United
Status and Iraq, all of the panel
members urged citizens to con
tinue protesting war and lobby
ing leaders for peace.
Steve |ohnson. an executive
with Decision Research and au
thority on U S military issues,
said there is "little doubt" that
U S warships and tactical
ground troops in the gulf arc
equipped with nuclear weap
ons.
Although he said there is lit
tle i ha nee of an accidental det
onation. the possibility exists
that one of tin1 more than loot)
nuclear weapons Johnson esti
mated are in the hands of U S.
troops in the gulf may be dam
aged and cause some contami
nation
He said even if the deploy
ment or accidental detonation
of nut lear weapons is avoided,
many lives will be lost to newly
advanced weaponry used in
conventional warfare.
"Technology has brought to
the liattle field a groat potential
for destruction." Johnson said
"This may lie the fastest casual
ty rate war in world history."
Dr M Ke/.a Behnam, Execu
tive Director of the Institute for
Advanced Middle Eastern
Studies, said the United States
has forced countries in that re
gion intu a corner and should
now opt for a peaceful end to
the confrontation.
He blamed the U.S. govern
ment for what he termed cul
tural ignorance and nationalist
policy making for bringing
about a confrontation in the re
gion Hehnam said individuals
and the government must begin
a process of international un
derstanding to solve the deep
rooted problems in the Middle
Hast.
“I don't think it's too ex
t r e m e to ask that all of
us...should at least try to un
derstand each other, or we will
indeed die,” he said.
Vietnam veteran John
Mactliver told the gathering to
unite in support of the soldiers
in the gulf region. He said indi
viduals must protest the actions
of the government, not the sol
diers. in advocating peace.
