OPINIONS continued from page 8 Battalion 162 Infantry in Eugene, dis agreed with Carrigan. He said many peo ple wanted tire United States to remove former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein from power, but they didn't want U.S. forces to remain in the country. "It would be far more careless to go in there and remove the dictator and turn around and leave and leave (Iraq) in disarray than to stay there and put the pieces back together," Ressel said. 'The logical position and the intelligent po sition is to go over and help that coun try establish a sound political structure. In one year, you've gone from having a ruthless dictator running the country, to reestablishing the country under a democracy. To me, I would have to say they've made incredible progress." Ressel said the United States has also made progress in establishing a working infrastructure and in ensur ing oil industry profits "have an op j portunity to get turned over to the people, not just Saddam." But University political science Pro fessor Jane Cramer, who has been an outspoken opponent of the United States' unilateral actions in Iraq, wrote in an e-mail that the war has "increased the threat of terrorism." "At this point, the U.S. is seen as a threat by too much of the world," Tim Bobosky Photographer On March 20, protesters displayed unified opposition to the war in Iraq as they marched down Southwest Columbia Street in Portland. Cramer wrote, adding that it's impor tant to prevent the outbreak of a civil war in Iraq, but that it doesn't look like they have a" real plan to make peace." Ressel agreed that the United States must remain in Iraq and oversee a "decent" transfer of leadership to pre vent a power grab by armed factions that would result in more instability. Carrigan, however, said the United States' presence in Iraq is causing in ternational instability. "We feel the U.S. and U.K. occupa tion in Iraq is causing more instability in the world and, ironically, may re sult in more terrorism directed against America in Iraq and also here in the United States," Carrigan said. Ressel said the attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq are terrorist in nature, but the war in Iraq has helped divert terrorist actions away from U.S. soil. He said it's easier for terrorists to attack Iraqi civil ians or U.S. troops in Iraq than it is to attack people in the United States. Whether calling the U.S. military an invader or a liberator, most people still support the troops. "We want to honor the men and women serving in the armed forces by bringing them home alive," Carrigan said. "We feel we are patriots for peace" Ressel said troops are just small pieces of a large puzzle, and their duty is to follow orders, not politics. "Their pride in their job comes from realizing that they are providing basic freedoms that we here take for granted," Ressel said. "That's pretty re warding for a soldier." Cramer said she feels sorry for the troops because they don't have the support of many of the Iraqis they are "attempting to liberate." "Under different circumstances, if they were viewed as legitimate libera tors, they would be in much less dan ger," Cramer said. "So, I do not ap prove of the way the U.S. leadership got the troops involved — it is very unfortunate for the troops." Contact the campus/ federal politics reporter atjaredpaben@dailyemerald.com.
