Inside
- "If you want peace..." (Mike Chambliss Wire Editor)
When the war with Iraq began, I was pretty uncomfortable about it. I thought that I wanted peace, so naturally I tried to work for justice. But it seems justice didn't want me to work for it. It was very uncommunicative, it didn't let me know what it needed done, it didn't pay me anything.
Viewpoint
- Don't condemn opposing opinions (Jeff Skarski staff)
In the debate over the war in Iraq, "freedom of speech" has become a very controversial term with its meaning used on both sides of the debate. However, a recent trend has been developing that is, at least to me, disconcerting if not downright McCarthyistic. When someone makes a public statement exercising their free speech that you disagree with, you essentially have two options: offer a rational or rhetorical rebuttal or criticize the statement itself. It seems that the latter option has become increasingly popular of late.
- One last view of Iraqi officialdom (Yaqoob Bangash sophomore)
During spring break a group of 13 Notre Dame students went to Washington, D.C. on a CSC seminar called "Christian Responses to a Violent World." I was a part of this group which met a number of opinion makers in Washington and discussed with them various aspects of the impending war. Our meetings greatly enriched our knowledge of the subject matter and made us more informed, alert, understanding and responsive to the world around us. Once in Washington I tried to contact the Iraqi Interest Office, the unofficial Iraqi embassy in the United States, to talk to them about the current situation. Though Iraq cannot have a formal embassy in the United States, it maintains an Interest Office in the Algerian embassy.
- Nader inspires (Anna Nussbaum freshman)
It's not often that I am inspired by politicians and too often that I am discouraged by them. Ralph Nader's lecture March 26 at the Mendoza College of Business on the topic of legislating corporate ethics inspired me. I have heard our President George W. Bush speak. I have heard my governor speak. I've spoken with congressmen, listened dutifully to the banter of rock stars and talking heads. Never has a speaker called me to greater sense of personal responsibility and moral fortitude than Ralph Nader, except Pope John Paul II, who told the shivering crowds at World Youth Day in Rome to "be the saints of the next generation."
- Fight for freedom (Benjamin Schoen class of '00)
Paul Graham's March 26 column focused on the high cost of the war against Saddam Hussein's regime and the alternative domestic projects that may consequently suffer from lack of funds. When debating the pros and cons of any war, price should not be an issue.
- It would be worse without Bush (Matt Somma freshman)
One of the most disturbing aspects of "Operation Iraqi Freedom" has been certain critics' portrayal of the incompetence of the Bush Administration. We must understand that our current leaders are faced with one of the most difficult administrations that any presidency has ever encountered. In contemporary America, we are faced with an escalating economic recession and the watershed of a new era of warfare a war on terror. After the tragic attacks of Sept. 11, our nation's path was altered dramatically, but I am confident that our government officials are taking the necessary steps to ensuring the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
- ROTC Pass and Review deserves outdoor location (Observer Editorial )
As students enter the final push of this academic year, other 18-to 22-year-olds are piloting helicopters, firing missiles and operating tanks in the war in Iraq. Their sacrifice should particularly resonate with Notre Dame and Saint Mary's students, as the faces they pass on the way to class each morning aren't very different from those now marching to Baghdad. Despite the vigorous disagreement between those who support and oppose the war in Iraq, both sides should find common ground in the need to support the servicemen and women in Iraq and around the world who are serving on behalf of all Americans.

- Groody bound for national championships Theology professor, priest, blends Scripture with ski slopes (By ANDREW SOUKUP News Writer)
Over half his life ago, Daniel Groody sat during his family's vacation to Vermont glued to a television. On the screen, he watched as an Austrian downhill skier named Franz Klammer soared down the mountain at the 1976 Olympics. Groody loved the 75 mph velocity at which Klammer rocketed down the hill as he toed the fine line separating self-control from reckless abandon.

Raising questions about revenge, the nature of justice and natural laws, Medea rocks Greek culture. She brings out Greek arrogance against foreigners and questions the very foundations of their culture.
