A False Justification

|

To the Editor: Graham Roth's op-ed "A Humanitarian Side to War?" (The Dartmouth, Feb. 5) was very interesting and drove home what is a really important point as we hurtle towards war: the United States didn't care about the Iraqi people until Americans died.



Opinion

Sex on the Beach

|

With another foot or so of snow dumped upon Hanover, many of us have been wondering why we ever came to this godforsaken place and even more of us are looking longingly toward the haven of spring break that lies only a few short weeks away to save us from this misery.



Opinion

The Real Motivation for War

|

To the Editor: I'm writing to express my disagreement with two statements that were attributed to me in your article "Students sound off on conflict with Iraq" (The Dartmouth, Feb.


Opinion

On War, Part II

|

Make no mistake about it, the costs of war in Iraq will be huge. Iraqi armed forces are better prepared this time around -- in the Gulf War their Soviet-era tanks stood no chance against the technological superiority of the American M1A2 Abraham Tank.


Opinion

Let's Play Pretend

|

Let's evaluate the following statement: War is evil and should be avoided, but in extreme cases it is necessary. The situation in Iraq is too fraught with emotion to serve as a sufficient analytical example.


Opinion

On War, Part I

|

Last Friday, I was walking back from the Dartmouth bookstore at two in the afternoon when I ran into a "mini-demonstration" of protesters.


Opinion

A Toe in the Water

|

The current anti-war demonstrations in several European capitals notwithstanding, America is on a path to war in Iraq.


Opinion

Take Me Off This Blix List

|

There will be war in Iraq. Barring a stunning, last-minute reversal -- a complete coup in Baghdad that ousts not just Saddam Hussein but his entire loathsome regime -- the United States and a coalition of allies will disarm Iraq by force.


Opinion

Therapeutic Insurrection

|

For all the talk of weapons of mass destruction, political regimes, oil and military technology, the success of the U.S.'s proposed regime change in Iraq will depend upon ideology the most.



Opinion

The French Disconnection

|

Dan Knecht's article "Bete Noire France" (The Dartmouth, Feb. 13) includes erroneous information regarding France's position on the Iraqi issue.


Opinion

Bete Noire France

|

On my weekly promenade down Main Street, a throng of Hanoverians heartily greeted me. At first, I believed them to be overzealous Winter Carnival enthusiasts.


Opinion

Gollum-in-Chief

|

After the State of the Union address and the lackluster Democratic response, I found myself watching a focus group organized by Republican pollster Frank Luntz in response to Bush's address.


Opinion

Winter Carnival is Alive

|

It's funny -- after reading recent columns in the Dartmouth I feel like I'm trapped inside a Dartmouth version of "The Matrix." I keep hearing that oracular, all-knowing voice -- that of Morpheus -- stalking me.


Opinion

War of the Roses

|

It's that time of year again. Love is in the air and everywhere you turn, you can't help but be attacked by pink and red in every shape and form.


Opinion

Peace In Our Time

|

I have to admire the anti-war crowd. I mean, they've got such media luminaries as Ramsey Clark, Jane Fonda, Alec Baldwin, Dan Rather and Barbara Streisand on their side.


Opinion

What's the Big Deal?

|

A few weeks back I was leaving Food Court when one of my friends referred to a girl he knew as "a fat bitch." I can't deny the fact that the girl was rather loud, somewhat obnoxious, and maybe this would qualify her as "a bitch," but the "fat" remark was what stood out to me most.
