said. “If we invade Kuwait to liberate
it, then 12 times as many Kuwaitis
will die than have already been
killed.
“If we go to war, I swear I will
work until my fingers bleed to get
those responsible out of the govern
ment,” he said.
About a dozen people showed up
to show support for American
troops in Saudi Arabia.
Waving an American flag and
chanting “Appeasement doesn’t
work,” and “Free Kuwait now,” they
quickly got into a shouting match
with the protesters.
As tempers flared, shoves were
exchanged, but the combatants were
separated before anyone was in
jured.
Andy Keetch, an economics major
from Fort Worth, organized the op
position march.
“I saw the announcement about
the protest in The Battalion this af
ternoon, and felt the other side
needed to be represented,” Keetch
said. “Iraq invaded and raped Ku
wait and has ignored international
pressure. If we don’t stop him now,
we’ll have to face him in the future
when he has nuclear weapons.
“The thing that bothers me the
most is these protestors remind me
of the Iraqi children chanting
‘Down, down Bush, hurrah Saddam
Hussein.’ The only difference is
these people are Americans, and
Hussein isn’t forcing them to say it,”
Keetch said.

Ge finally found his friend’s case
in the Beijing Public Security Bu
reau. The only information officials
gave him there was that the case was
still under investigation.
“They told me the government’s
policy is to educate people and to
change people’s minds,” Ge said.
“They said, ‘We are going to treat
him in communist humanitarian
way.’ ”
While he was at the Beijing Secu
rity Bureau, Ge said Chinese offi
cials questioned him about his fam-
iiy-
“By the third day of my visit, my
family was under great pressure,”
Ge said. “I know the Chinese gov
ernment was trying to keep me out
through my family. I have a strong
feeling my family was being threate
ned.”
Ge returned to the United States
Dec. 19 with little infbrmation on
Wang’s case.
“The trip to China was very dan
gerous,” he said. “But I was well pre
pared for what might happen.
“Before I went I was convinced
those people were innocent and I
Man charged
in death of child
awaits trial
FORT WORTH (AP) — Jury
selection has begun in the mur
der trial of a man accused of giv
ing a 5-year-old boy several
ounces of bourbon and telling
him to “drink it like a man.”
Anthony Darron Jimerson, 22,
gave Raymond Thomas “Tinky”
Griffin 10 ounces of bourbon last
Feb. 23 so Jimerson could be
alone with Tinky’s mother, pros
ecutors said.
The child died of alcohol poi
soning several days later. His
mother, Patricia Griffin, had
waited 16 hours before summon

Jury selection in Jimerson’s
murder trial began Monday.

Brunner is coordinator of a pro

wanted to do something for them,”
Ge said. “After I learned those peo
ple suffered so much under hard
line communist persecution, I com
mitted myself to do everything possi
ble for them.”
Ge said his immediate concern
was how to stop this present round
of persecution.
“I want to tell everybody about
massive human rights violations in
China,” he said.
If the United States ignores the
present state of persecution, the
Chinese government will have no
fear of punishing those people, Ge
said.
“Right now, more and more, con
gressional people are starting to pay
attention to human rights violations
in China,” Ge said. “But this is a very
long-term task.
“I have been telling people that
my American education has taught
me two very important things,” he
said. “The first thing I learned was
honesty, the second thing was cour
age. This is Aggie spirit — and I
really believe in that.”

comment on the network report.
Baghdad’s shouts of defiance
combined with a worldwide clamor
of last-minute appeals to Saddam
and anti-war protests.
The deadline expired at 8 a.m. lo
cal time in Baghdad, where the Iraqi
government gave no last-minute
sign it was willing to withdraw from
the small emirate it overran in a dis
pute over land and oil.
After the deadline, set Nov. 29 by
the United Nations Security Council,
U.N. members are authorized to
drive Iraq out of Kuwait by force.
The deadline expiration did not
mean war was inevitable, but ex
hausted diplomats said efforts to
find a peaceful solution were practi
cally dead.
Iraq’s U.S. ambassador, Mohamed
Sadiq Al-Mashat, left Washington
with several aides Tuesday night on
his way to London and then Bagh
dad. Four other Iraqi diplomats will
remain at the embassy.

At a packed news conference,
U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez
de Cuellar made a final appeal to
Saddam Hussein to withdraw his
troops and avert war. He assured
Iraq that once it begins a decisive
withdrawal, its forces would not be
attacked.
