Senate approves oil drill~g in Alaska wildlife -refuge

WASHINGTON (AP) - A closely divided Senate voted Wednesday 10 approve oil drilling in lhe Arttic National Wikltire Refuge. a major victory for President Bush and a stinging defeat for environmentalistS who have fought the idea for decades.

By a 51-49 vole, the Senate put a refuge drilling provi-sion in next ycar"s budget. depriving opponents of the chance to use a filibuster to try 10 block it. Filibusters, which require 60 votes To overcome. have been used to defeat drilling proposals in the past.

Sen. Ted S1evens. R-Alaska. who has fought for 24 years 10 open the Alaska refuge to oil companies, acknowledged ii SLill could be "a long process" before a fiOal drilling measure clears Congress. Lawmakers must agree on the final budge1, something they failed 10 do last year. or Wednesday's vote Would have been for naught.

Also. the House did not include an Arctic refuge meas-ure in its budget, a difference that will have to be worked out in future negotiations.

Nevertheless, the Senate made clear by Wednesday's vote that a majority now suppons Lapping what is believed 10 be 10.4 billions or more of barrels of oil within the refuge's 1.5 million-acre coastal plain, said Sen. Lisa Murkowski. R-Alaska. Two y,ears ago, a similar attempt to use the budge1 process to open the refuge failed by three votes.

But that was before Republicans las1 November expand-ed lhcir majority, adding a number of GOP senators who fa 11or <lrl ll ing~~Onlj. 1~.\'~. ·~CP.LJ~i£a~~ ~l_t ··'!'~~.£

Iraq's new legislators sworn· in -BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -

Two years after the fall of Saddam Hussein, Iraqi legis-lators were sworn in Wednes-day as members of the 275-scat National Assembly, vow· ing to uphold freedom and democracy. Before laking their oath, they had to endure mortar barrages .and wailing air raid sirens as insurgents made their presence felt .

The depu1ies failed tO set a dale to reconvene, did not elect a speaker or even nomi~ nate a president and vice prcs-idenl - all of·which 1hey had hoped to do. Instead, lhe ses-sion was spent celebrating I.be moment, and the enonnous obstacles Iraq has ovci'come.

'11lis day marks a new binh for all Iraqis. II marks the birth of the parliament," said Ibrahim al Jaafari, a Shi-ite politician and the man expected to be Iraq's next prime minister.

ears Later Nation and CSUN students divided in their views on the war in Iraq Support has fluctuated since war began JASON LAWRENCE DAILY SUNDIAL

Public approva l of the war in Iraq has nuc-tua1ed ever since the

init ial stages two years ago. but has been noticeably decli ning over the past year, with about half of the polled popula1ion support-ing the war and half oppos-ing the war, according to Gallup polls .

The poll has been con-ducted 36 times from Janu-ary 2003 to February 2005, and asked those surveyed: "All in all, do you think it was worth going to war in Iraq, or not?"

While the choice signi-fying that it was wonh going to war has been the most popul.ar response in 27 of the 36 po ll s. 1he mar-gin has become signifi cant-ly reduced in size. The polls first illustrated an

almost equal opinion on the war a l lhe beginninw of 2004.

In April 2003, the fourth 1ime the poll was conduct-ed. 76 percent of ·those polled sa id they thought it was worth going to war. The difference has been no greater than 56 percen t in favor lO 41 percent opposed in the past year. meaning the counLry has been even-ly divided over thi s issue wi thin the past year.

"We can sec that in Jan-uary 2004, suppon (for the war) was fairly high," said Henry Lo pez. CSUN politi-cal science professor ... Per-haps it has to do w ith the formation of democracy from an authoritative gov-ernment (in Iraq)."

"Afterwards. about a year (after the war started), it juft seemed like people were dying for no reason," said Nishi l Kapadia. elec-trical engineering graduate student.

Kapadia said he was neutra l abo ul lhe war a1 firs1. even though he fell at the time that the United

States may have jumped 1he gun ou t of impatience.

.. In hindsight, it seems like it was OK because of the spread of democracy," Kapadia said.

He lied to the American people. and he's sending people's sons and daughters (into war). We rushed into it, when it should 've been the lasl re sort. We should've had another plan ...

M ike Oganyan, senior business management major. expressed a simila r opinion.

" I don't think it's right ." Oganyan said. "We had no reason to go over there. There are more importan t things to take care of. They talk about the deficit , and then they sta rl spending money on the war. It 's not like they were a threat to us

According to the poll. which was rclca~ in January. 47 percent of the 21.953 people polled from 21 countries said they now have an extremely negative view of the United States· influence in the world and view Amcncans negatively a" well.

The poll abo found that on average. 58 percent of the pco· pie polled felt Pre>.1dent George W. Bush's reclcct1on l o the White Hou'-C made the worltl a more dangerous place.

Mitchell has been traveling around the world since 1he 1970s, and said the world '"has always viewed Americans sus-piciously and skeptically. They sec us as aggressive. That's nOlhing new."

A poll commissioned by the Amb A1nericun Institute, which was released in 2004 and polled nearly 3.300 Arab cittzens in six. Middle Eastern countries. found that 98 percent of Egypt-ian ci1izcns have a negative view of the Uni1cd States.

Following the Sept. 11 ter-ror attacks. worldwide protc.sts formed in opposition to the United Stat~ invasion of Iraq.

Number of Iraqi civilian deaths disputed ROSARIO MENDOZA DAILY SUNDlAL

According to 1hc Iraqi Coalition Casualty Count. an organiza-

tion that gets its information. from the United States Depan-ment of Defense, 1,510 U.S. soldier.; have been killed, and 11,285 U.S. soldier.; have been wounded since the Iraq War began in March 2003.

Thest numbers are far/ewer than those of Iraqi casualties.

The Iraqi Body Count Orga-nization is working to provide the number of Iraqi lives lost in the war, primarily by kecjiing track of number.;" given by news media and Iraqi families.

"We do not have an exact number of civilian deaths," said John Slodoba, media

agent for the Iraqi Bod Coun• Organization. '"This is why we offer a range. We have a mini-mum and a maximum."

According to the <Xglllliza-1ion. between 16.389 and 18,67Q Iraqi civilians have 11>'1 their lives in the past two years.

A Department of Defense official said this infonnation is fic titious, and soldie rs could not have killed so many Iraqi civilians.

··we should not refer to (Iraqi civilians) as / 'casual-ties,'" said U. Col. Pamela Han, spokesperson for the United States Depanmcnt of Defense. 'We should refer to them as 'claims."'

According to Hart, Iraqi civilian casualties should only be refemd to as claims. since many people claim to have lost

Upon hearing the number.; compiled by the Iraqi Body Count Clfganization. Hmt said the infoonation provided by the organii.ntion could no1 be accu-rate. because of the way they compile their information.

1lleir information is not olficial," Hmt said 'They look at newspapers for this infonna-tion. It cannot be accurate. To date, we only have II claims· filed against the United States Army, claiming death or abuse."

For Miguel Cruz. 33, a vet· eran of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, the lraq War is different because there is an .. unknown enemy." Whereas duri ng the Pcr.iian Gulf War, the "enemy" was identifiable as members of the military. in the current

war, insurgents and other non-military entities are oncn the ones responsible for bombings and attacks. he said.

The Persian Gulf War began when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990 and took control of over 24 percent of the world's oil supplies in just four hours. Saudi Ambia seemed 16 be Hussein's next target, and the United States was called in to aid Saudi Ara-bia in case of an attack.

Cruz said he has a 22· year-·old brother in the Army who served in 1he Iraq War in the Anillery Division fi-om May 2003 to April 2004. Cruz said he believes the war he fought 10 year.; ago is differ-ent from the war his brother had to fight last year.

Cruz said American soldiers often have. a hard time distin~

'1"he hardest thing about being a soldier is knowing who your enemy is ... Cruz said. '"That is the biggest difference between the war l fought I 0 years ago. and the war my brother foughL"

According to Ci-uz. in lhe Pe rsian Gulf War, so ldier!> knew their targets because they had faces and a location.

Cruz also said sold iers are 1rained to protect .ond defend their troops. If they see a potential enemy. the y will kill them, Cruz said.

"We arc the United States military," Cruz said ... We are not mindless kill ers, but we will fight.''

Cruz said he was afra id fo r his brother's life. but offered him advice on how to stay alive in Iraq.

" I told him, 'Brother. give it 110 percent. Do what you were trained to do.··· Cruz said. "'Don't forge! tha1 war is hell. and hell is war."'

Iraq: Tvvo Years Later Service in Iraq changes a student's perspective SAM RICHARD DAILY SUNDIA L

J ust a few weeks after the war in Iraq began, Omar Mas ry. senior

finance major. was headed there with a specia l opera-tions baualion.

.. , dido 't know wha1 10 expect:· Masry said.

He just knew his destina-tion: Baghdad.

Masry. now 25 years old. set goals for hi s service in Iraq prior 10 his deployment.

.. I volunieered to go earli-er because I wan1ed to get in on the first wave," Masry said. "I knew at the begin-ning(. .. ) things would be so chaotic that it would give someone like me, someone young, an opportuni ty (to) kind of injec1 my ideas i 1 a lime where they could ' ve been influen1ial."

His uniform is typical of any U.S. soldier: dirty, ligh1-brown combat boots and dark green and brown cus -tomized ·Army f~tigues. Masry is representative of a typical U.S. soldier.

But as an Arab-American. he sa id he had an experience diffcrcn1 from most of !he other soldiers deployed.

Since he is an Arab-American and speaks Ara·

bic. Masry said he served as an or "ombudsman... or middle-man, by communi -cating to Iraqis the inten-tions he believed America had for Iraq.

'The way we fou nd out who was auacking us wasn't through building (a) satel-lite," Masry said. "It was through building relation-ships in the community, and the average Iraqi coming up to us and telling us who's doing what."

" I'd see the experience when I was there through so many filters.*' Masry said. "As an American and as an Arab-American."

Masry was at the begin-ning stage of the Iraq war, and everythi ng started at ground zero, he said.

.. In the first couple of months, what we saw was a lot of fruition and a 101 of things gcuing fixed up quick ," Masry said.

Thousands of miles away. hi s mo m. Feria! Masry, was in the United States protest ing against the war.

She said she was support· ing her son, not the war.

"In a way I was sad he (was) going," Ferial said. " In another way ( ... ) I thought maybe he could do some-thing good there ."

Omar felt good 1ha1 he helped out wi1h reconstruc-1ion in Iraq, because he said he was con1ribu1ing to the

Every one of us is an ambassador for America, he said.

"I think when we Lend to forget about that. we devalue ourselves and we lose respect in 1he world," Omar said.

Now, Omar said he believes 100 many things have been bureaucratized since the firsl three months.

" Ir became very haphaz-anl," Omar said. "When( ... ) the civilians and contractors s tarted running things, and when the insurgency kicked off a little harder, things kind of dissipated."

Omar is back home now. However. the American

occupation in Iraq is expect-ed to continue.

" I envision them to be there for a number of years, because they have a along time ahead of themselves to reconstitute ( Iraq)," said political science professor Mehran Kamrava, an expen on !he Middle East

When the Uniled Stales will ex it 1he country depends on when the Iraqi govern-ment is considered legiti -mate, Kamraya said.

Omar has a couple mor.e months on tour, but he said he doesn't lhink he'll be back 10 Iraq.

One thing is for sure: He feels lie has changed.

After buying a new car to travel cross~ountry, Omar was affected men~y.

"r didn't even realize it at first, but I was changing lanes under the overpasses .. because we had become renuive about doing that," Omar said. ..We wanted to make sure nobody would drop a grenade on us."

Omar's mother said she belie\ICS her son came back wiser.

"He·· had much more knowledge;· said Ranj Zuhdi, one of Omar 's close friends. " l:le's energetic (and) he has a lot of ideas."

Zuhdi. a senior computer engineering major, said he thinks Omar and his sol-diers made a huge differ-ence in Iraq.

"' If nothing else, lraq teaches you that life is sure as hell not black and white," Omar said. '1liat's the one .glaring lesson you get from it. "

mined, however. to provide doctors in the Netherlands with a scientific method for deciding if a child is "suitable"' for euthanasia. Wlder the assumption that a standard method-ology would make such a practice less objectionable to authori ties. After studying the cases of 22 chil-~n born with Spina bifida. a disor-der resulting from a poorly formed spinaJ cord, they established a five-fold criteria with which doctors could decide whether or not to euth-anize small children.·

ThC criteria arc a showcase or heartlessness and cold-blooded util -itarianism. in their' paper, the authOrs rely heavily on the idea that children who will not possess an "acceptable q uality of life" arc prime candidates for euthanasia.

The klp criteria when considering whether to kill a newborn is whether the child is expected to have an "extmnely poor quality of life. (suf-fering) in' terms of functional dislbili-ty, pain, discomfort, poor prognosis and hopelessness." The underlying idea oflhis crileria is that a lire lived in pain is not one worth living.

.. ~pin~~Q!! Egypt's big move to democracy met with. hesitance OMAR SAl!L._ GUEST COLUMNIST

Egyp< =ently announced that it will hokl multi-ple-candidate elections

later this year ror the fi~ time in its 5,00Q.ycar hist<>p'. Prior to this, voting ballots only inc luded the incumbent presi· dent - a dictator really - and no other candidates were allowed to contest him.

Being a n Egyptian American, l was both happy and skeptica l of this news. ls this a sign of true reform. or just a poli ti cal move on President Hosny Mubarak's behalf to keep the United States off hi s back?

Many Arab gov· crnments hide their suppon of the West from their ci ti -zens. who arc constan1ly subjected to anti-Western sen timents. Bridging this

gap is one of the n :St and rnost important obstacles facing Mubarak. ,

Egyptians, like most Arab cit izens, are accus1omcd to being ruled by dictatorships in which individual free-doms arc practically nonex-istent. Egyptians arc also accustomed to corruption and manipulation to a point

Egypti ans are skepti· .cu l of his decision to move toward .. democracy.··

for the most part has been under a one-party rule for 1he past 50 years.

Another catalyst that has stripped the credibi lity of Mubarak's decision was the arrest of Ayman Nour. a young parliament member. Prior to his arrest, Nour had been calling for constitu· tional reform in Egypt. Because of this, his parlia-mentary immunity was taken away and he was

these changes a re. in the besl interest of the Egyptian people. Mubarak himself, and 1he Western powers.

The inevitable spread of information and communi· cations technology has probably played a bigger role in Mubarak's decision than any olher internal or external chiinge. The Egypt-ian government can no longer control 1he informa-1ion its people receive. With computers. cell phones. and

satellite television, many Egypti~m: are able to hear news broadcasts from around the world, stubbing i:hc government's earlier monopoly over the media. Prior to these developments, people only heard whatever the government wanted them to hear. .

After hearing aboul the millions in Iraq who defied the insurgency and risked their lives to vote, and of the protests in Lebanon over the long and ovcr-s1ayed Syrian occupation, Egyptians could soon feel they are long due for their own reform to bridge the gap between the rich and poor by truly giv ing people a voice.

Mubarak 's decision hap· pened to be perfect ly timed, pleasing skep1ics in the West, while still showing the people of Egypt that he could truly care about them. That 's why it is in Mubarak 's best interest to s tart a truslworthy, respect-ed eleclion process, because his legacy in Egypt depends on it. In accom-

plishing this. he will long be honored and remem-bered.

But if this September's ballot only includes the cider Mubarak and his son Gama!, or if one of the Mu.baraks receives 90 per-cent of lhe- votes. then we will know what the true llftentions for Mubarak 's decision were. But no maner what reasons Mubarak had in making his decision, he has made it It could be in his self-interest. or in ·that of his son, or it could be meant to truly reform Egypt. ·

Accomplis6ing democ-racy in 1his par1 - of the world wil! not be easy. Things won't change overnight, but it's a so lid start. and only time will tell ff Mubarak's historic move was a genuine sign of reform. or just a political move to keep the United States off his back and paci-fy his people, who are start-ing to demand democracy.

Women's tennis player has travel~d a long way AYAN MURTAZA S.-E.CIAL TO THE DAILY SUNDIAL

The long journey of Silvia Gutierrez to the Northridge campus

can be traced all the way back 10 her hometown of Mostoles. Spain. where she grew .up and resided until 2003. Gutierrez developed into one of the most accom-plished youth tennis players m Spain. accumulating sev-eral outstanding honors. including being the fifth-rank.ed playe r in her country for women 18 and under.

But as time went on and college rapidly approached. Gutierrez decided 10 make a life-altering decision by leav-ing her home country for the United States . This CSUN standout said there were two reasons she left Spain. _

On the current t'oster, seven of the 12 players were born and raised outside the country, which makes the rosier one or the most diverse in lhc country.

One of Gutierrez' team-mates. freshman standout Cannu Furuta, who was born in the United States, said Silvia is helping the tellm co-exist and mold a ll the different nationalities into one-unit.

"(Gutierrez) is helping the team in so many different ways, especially being a team leader," Furuta said ... She is a good role model, and every-body looks up to her."

AMANDA POKl'ER DAILY SUf!iiotAL

UM< year oo St. P:urick's Day, my roommaJes and

went lO an Irish pub in NewYoritCity.

Wehadagrea1 rime drinking. but all those green sho<.< added up. When our bi ll came ii was somewhere around $4()).

Every year, St. Pmrick's Day is one or my favorite holidays. lt"s a holiday that doesn't require any ~nts, just some gocxl old-fa.~ioned fun wi1h friends. Bui just like most holidays we celebrate in the United States, lhe commen:ializatioo has out-lived the meaning.

Most Americans are unaware of what St. Patrick's Day is ac1u-

ally cclebntted for.' Rather we take advantage of a rea<on to wear giecn, pinch Lhose PcoPie who are not. and get drunk.

"Like many holidays, St. Pauick's.floy has religioos roots.

A man by the name of Maewyn Sucau was bcrn in either Sootland or Wales. but as a teenager was kidnapped and We.en to Ireland to become a slave.

Once Succat escaped he wen1 to Frnncc and entered the monastery. WhBe Studying to becollle a priest, Suceat changed his name 10 Patrick: which in Latin means "father of his peo-ple."

Patrick eventually returned to lrcland because.be wanced to spread the wool ~f God. and

save lhe citiu:ns of lhc nation. Upoo the death of Pauick on

March 17, 461 A.O. allTlOtO all of Ireland was Chrislian.

The celebration in Ireland for SL Palrick is a religioos holiday similar to Otrisunas and Easter. Like the Oiristmas tree and the Easter bunny, SL Pauick's Day also ~ its fair stwe of irons. Among some of the thing.< we asoociate with the holiday are:

. The Concept of w.ring Green

Even thoogh Ireland has a · connection to green through its

old flag, the connection doesn't go much farther than that Wearing giecn is l1lOfC of a U.S. custom and the cola< is said to.not be very popular in Ireland. Some even consider it an unlucky color. School kid< then invented the tradition of pinching those who were not wearing green.

~ns,Gold, and a Rainbow

to Follow _catching a leprechaun is

good lock. If one catches the make-believe fairy, it is said that the leprechaun . must tell where

he hides his pol of gold A lq>- even dt1llk on Ibis cloy. l<Chaun is port of Irish fol~ not just SL Patrick's Day.

The Shamrock. The green shamrock is a

natiooal symbol of Ireland, and it was thooght tha1 followers of St Pauick wore a shamrock on his feast day. Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to repre-sent how the Father, the Son and the Holy Spiri~ existed in sepa-rate elemCnts of the same entity ..

Drinking Green Beer I'm not exactly sure where

this concept came · from. but until 1995, all pubs in ~land were closed due to the holiday. And there are d iffering accounts of whether the Irish
