Continued from page 1
“The demonstrations and
peace flags are a way for the
people to say to the govern
ment, ‘No, we are not for this
war,”’ Capacci said.
It is common for students
abroad to become engaged in
political conversations with locals.
Italians and citizens of other
European countries are curious
about Americans’ thoughts on
the war and often approach
students to inquire about their
opinions.
Junior architecture major
Jenna Dee Miller said that when
Europeans find out she is from
Texas, they assume she knows
what is going on in the United
States.
“Public opinion in Europe is
that America is wrong. I’m not
sure it is, but I’m not sure it isn’t
either,” she said. “It’s really
strange to be so removed from
what’s going on.”
Matthew Petrie, a senior bio
medical sciences major, said
Americans abroad are often
associated with decisions and
actions of the U.S. government.
“It embarrasses me when the
government wastes its time
renaming french fries,” he said.
“I think their time could be bet
ter spent.”
Still, most students said
being abroad during the war has
opened their eyes to a more
worldly perspective.
“I like being out of the conser
vative atmosphere of A&M,” said
sophomore political science
major Carin Compton. “We get to
see things through different eyes.”
Kansas State University sen
ior landscape architecture major
Deon Glaser said she appreci
ates experiencing views from
another part of the world.
“When you’re in America,
you only hear about how current
events affect America,” she said.
In a setting where news is
spread in a foreign language,
students rely on limited English
newspapers and CNN World
from a single television set to
find out what is going on around
the world.
“It’s hard in this setting to be
totally informed on everything,”
Compton said.
Despite unrest in Italy and
throughout Europe, students
said they do not feel that they
are in any immediate danger,
although they are often easily
identified as Americans.
“The sentiment here is much
more anti-war and anti-Bush than
anti-American,” said junior
architecture major Morgan Rhea
Nixon.
Chase Clay, a junior architec
ture major, said he tries to be
cautious while traveling, but
isn’t worried about his safety.
“I can feel people watching me
sometimes,” he said, “but that’s
the extent of my discomfort.”
Although most students at
Santa Chiara say they share the
sentiment of feeling safe, it
doesn’t stop them from trying to
keep attention away from the
fact that they are Americans.
When approached by a group
of men in the subway in
London, Katie Hogan said she
felt admitting her nationality
would be a little risky.

The seven walked — some ran — into a
transport plane that flew them to Kuwait for
checkups, treatment for those who needed it,
and briefings. The prisoners gave an account
of their capture and captivity to reporters from
The Washington Post and The Miami Herald
who were on the flight.
The sight of their loved ones, bedraggled in
their pajama-like POW garb, electrified fami
lies and communities back home.
“It’s him, and I’m just so happy that I could
kiss the world!” Ron Young Sr. of Lithia
Springs, Ga., said after spotting son Ronald D.
Young Jr., 26, a helicopter pilot, in choppy
video of the free POWs.
The prisoners, held in a Baghdad prison for
about the first two weeks, told of being be#
