 | "The first casualty of any war is the battle plan. I believe the war will have limited positive effects on the United States' economy which is already down. No one is going to know when or how it will end, but it looks like it will last longer than our past conflict did. Hopefully it will end quickly with few casualties and a limited effect on the opinions of our allies in the world." Dr. Richard Wixon Offenhiser Professor of History and Political Science |
 | "As a student of history, when it comes to war, the first questions you ask are what the cause and effects are. I think it will take 20 years before documents are declassified and we know exactly why this began. I think the first casualty of war will be the United Nations: it seems like it will end up just like the League of Nations did. But, I hope the United States will be more responsible in the future." Dr. Alem Abbay Assistant Professor of History and Political Science |
 | "The Iraqi people will benefit because they'll get the freedom they never had and their standard of living will improve. I also think the Middle East will change for the better with the example of democracy that will be setup in Iraq." Valentin Kostov Sophomore Accounting |
 | "I think that something needs to be done, but we're going about it the wrong way. I believe we will be victorious in this war, but we need to realize that only in unity can we find peace." Lea Holz Frehman Art |
 | "Concerning the economy, I believe that this war, like all past wars, will lead to a rise in the national debt. With the end of the war I believe people will start spending more money and boosting the economy, especially through air travel." Jeff Taff Junior History |
 | "We are going to be victorious in the war. The Iraqi people will be freed and will be able to live normal lives free from the control of Saddam Hussein." Chelsea Bjarnarson Junior Excercise Science |
 | "It's not going to effect the world that much because the war is going to be quick. Their army is useless against our superior forces." John Gilmore Freshman Education |
 | "It's going to kill the economy. It will bring some people together and, at the same time, pull others apart." Sarah Wall Sophomore Sports Management |
