Russia and the U.S. have already start ed negotiations on splitting up Iraq’s oil once the war is over,” Steed said. “There’s evidence right there. We haven’t been attacked and by going in there we’ll destabilize the whole region and open a huge can of worms.” Steed said he thinks the Bush administration is not con sidering the interests of all American citizens. “One-third of our nation’s homeless are veterans, and Bush wants to create more, even after cutting funding to the VA hospitals,” he said. “Bush and Cheney have never been in combat. Tm going to listen to the people who have been in combat, and right now most of those people are against this war.” With current economic problems in Venezuela mean ing less exported gasoline to the United States, it is estimat ed that a war with Iraq will cause gasoline prices to sky rocket to as much as $3 a gal lon in some parts of the coun try, Steed said. Paul Cozby, a freshman international business manage ment major, said he supported the protesters after he stopped to sign the protesters’ petition in the plaza. “War is the last resort, but in some cases it can’t be avoid ed.” Cozby said. Steven Mitchell, a member of the Corps of Cadets and sophomore environmental design major, said war is some times a necessary evil. “If not for war we would be speaking Japanese or German. (Iraq) is going to bring this war on everyone whether we like it or not,” said Mitchell. Halfway through the protest, Denita Noland, the interim minister for the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, stepped up on one of the nearby benches and the protesters fell silent. “The leaders of our great nation have forgotten the les sons of history and war,” said Noland, as the shadow of a flag at half-staff fell across the crowd of protesters. The protesters also held a vigil at 6 p.m. at the Academic Plaza. them on missions that co: nEnglish, he a familiarize hi “My partner last several weeks.
