May 4, 2004 Students Observing and Scrutinizing With the death of Pat Tillman, the burning and dragging of four Americans through Fallujah and April having the highest death toll yet, is the price of the war worth the outcome?

Kevin Pater Business Finance -18- Christina Hernandez Business -20- Cindy Kocur Biology -21- “You would have to see the outcome first. I want to see how it actually ends up being. In the past we’ve left other countries in shambles.” “No, I don’t think it’s worth it. We’re sending our troops out there and they’re dying and we’re not gaining anything out of it.” “No, I don’t think so. I didn’t agree with the war when it first started. I think it’s becoming another Vietnam.” Crystal Edwards Fine Arts -19- Steve Campbell Construction Management -28- Ryan Eaton Media Arts -19- “The deaths have had an impact and have made people ask themselves why we are at war.” “You can’t really put a price on life. I can’t really help you out on that one.” “At first I was really for the war. But now it seems like we’re not getting done what we need to get done. I think we care too much about civilian casualties. As far as Pat Tillman, that’s just sad.” Alex Davis Business -21- Adam Esquer Microbiology -19- Mannie Guzman Communication -21- “In a way. It will help the people of Iraq. It’s good that we’re going over there helping them but again, we’re losing our lives at the same time.” “Yeah, I definitely lose my focus. Spring break is too long. I was gone for like two and a half weeks. I went to the Philippines and did nothing for a while.” “I feel that you are never really going to know what the outcome of war will be. We’re only seeing the bad side. There are two sides to every book.” Kelley Hood Nursing -37-     “No. I’m against the whole war situation. We shouldn’t be there and they don’t want us there.”
