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."

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 29). A
person who's trying to make you live
by his or her rules may be quite
annoying to you this year, but this per
son is to you important, too. If you
accept the coaching, you'll get much
stronger.To get the advantage, check
the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day,
0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Today is a
6 _ If you can manage to keep your
mouth shut, you'll probably make oth
ers think you're the perfect person for
the job. Don't reveal your doubts now.
Make a list privately.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) _ Today is
a 7 _ The odds are good that whatev
er you're worried about won’t end up
amounting to much more than a medi
um-sized hill of beans. Don't stress
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) _ Today is
a 6 _ You can get what you want for
your home, possibly at great savings.
It's not a good idea to spread this
news around, however. Just act on it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) _ Today
is a 7 _ There's likely to be a misun
derstanding, especially if you argue. If
somebody orders you to do some
thing, comply if you can. This is not a
good time to bring up old hurts. Save
them for later.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is a 6
_ You sure could use some quiet time.
So after you make a few calls to tie up
a couple of loose ends, why not take
your phone off the hook?

■f .r >c r> a \ r
t j,
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) _ Today is
an 8 _ A person with more experience
can HELP YOU find an error or a
leak. Don't be embarrassed _ go
ahead and ask for an expert's advice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) _ Today is a
7 _ You and your partner may feel that
all the rules are dumb. You should
know, however, that an older person
can read your thoughts. Don’t lip off.
Don't even think about it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today
is a 7 _ It's not your fault, but the
best-laid plans are liable to go astray.
Traveling is apt to get complicated,
too, so it's best to stay close to home.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _
Today is a 7 _ Money is tight, but that
won't stop you. Stick to your budget
and keep making plans. You’ll find a
way. If not, somebody else will. Don't
overlook the possibility of a miracle.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) _
Today is a 7 _ A domestic disagree
ment could be expensive and take up
valuable time. Try to work out a com
promise to minimize costs and stress.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb 18) _ Today
is a 5 _ There's always a gap
between how you think it will be and
the way it turns out. Don't fall into a
depression if that happens now. Better
yet, plan for it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today
is an 8 _ Curtail your spending for a
couple of days. With the help of some
body you love, figure out what you
have left and what you still need to
get.
