U.S. must be prepared for horrible scenes from war on terrorism
We, as a nation, have really painted ourselves into a corner. Peace is not going to cut it this time and the anticipated war will be a different, more unsightly conflict than we all expect. Former President Bush proclaimed early in this ordeal we will have to fight dirty to combat these terrorists.

SN editorial sends U wrong message
I am writing in response to the editorial, “Message Lost” (SN 9/10). I am disappointed by the judgmental and insulting language used to describe the first anti-rape protest. The article begins with a very objective, detached description of the legal circumstances of Eric Knott and Damon Dowdell.

Stand strong
Our armed forces are setting out on their first assignments of Operation Infinite Justice, and some of our friends and loved ones are among those taking up arms to combat the evil of terrorism around the world. Many men and women, some no older than most college students, are going off to fight a war against a faceless enemy - an enemy that fights from and hides in the shadows. We’ve seen this coming since Sept.

Dont repeat horror of WWII-era camps
I have heard many references to Pearl Harbor over the past few days and many have expressed concern over future terrorist attacks.

Dangerous ideologies lay strike on U.S.
As I slowly put myself together early Sept. 11 in preparation for my morning class, I received a phone call telling me to simply turn on the TV.

Letter writer wrong that U.S. to blame
Picture this: You stand in the middle of a classroom and voice an opinion the majority of your fellow classmates disagree with.

Chief: Harassment not tolerated at U
Sept. 11’s violence against our country fills us all with mixed feelings of shock, fear, outrage and even anger.
COMMENTARY
Remember happier days instead of attack, just for moment
I don’t want to write about Sept. 11’s tragedy. I don’t want to write about the pain, loss, devastation and disappointment.

Right resolution
On Friday, the Board of Trustees could speak for the first time about last year’s undercover police investigation of a student activist group.

SN needs updated photo of 19 Wheels
For the second time in the past year, I opened up The State News MS&U section to see another 19 Wheels show being promoted by the paper (“19 Wheels to play at Rick’s,” SN 9/13). As a long time fan of the band it is nice to see it get coverage in their hometown.
COMMENTARY
Keep loved ones close at this time
I am deeply saddened by the recent events in our country. I strongly believe now is the time to rally together to fight against this act.

Afghan people will bear cost of bin Laden
Quite literally, the dust has not settled. The southern tip of Manhattan is still bound by an oppressive cloud of vaporized gypsum, marble, ash and concrete.

McP Money | President donates to U
If money can be an indicator of love for this campus, MSU President M. Peter McPherson’s heart must be as big as his wallet. How big is that?

Muslim harassers are U.S. terrorists
Any person who would intimidate or harass our Muslim neighbors is, in effect, declaring their support of Osama bin Laden.

Student: Parking now, not in 2020
I think it is great plans are being made to make the campus a better place for 2020 and thereafter, but aren’t there some smaller steps that could be taken now? Parking has been such a problem on this campus and even though the new ramp was installed off of Trowbridge Road, it doesn’t help commuters who have class on the other side of campus.
COMMENTARY
War or peace? Reader says war
This letter is in regard to Monday’s headline, “War or peace?” (SN 9/17). We are already at war, even though it has not been officially declared by our government.

September football Sundays mean something more after last weeks attack
Sunday was a very difficult day for me. It was a day I never thought I would see: a September Sunday without the National Football League. I wasn’t sure what to do with myself. After talking with my parents and my sisters on the telephone, I decided to do what I always do on Sunday.
COMMENTARY
Not job well done by U greencoats
Your article commending the efficient job done by stadium security during the first football game (“Greencoats regulate fans,” SN 9/10) is anything but true.
