John Matthew Knowles' column "Opposition is trendy, but Iraq war is justified, more popular than most" (SN 9/13) highlights his lack of respect for other people's lives and their freedoms. While he rightly condemns Saddam Hussein's brutal oppression of the Iraqi people, he ignores that it was the similar ideological conflicts against Shi'a Iran and socialist countries, sold to the American people on half-truths and xenophobia, that provided for Hussein to be armed and supported with the chemical weapons that allowed these crimes to happen. Once again, we are told that we ought to support this war against evil terrorists, and ignore any voices of dissent that sometimes squeak through in the American mass media. How can one claiming to speak for freedom and democracy so callously talk of "pointless dwelling on events in Abu Ghraib." This is about thousands of people tortured, raped and sometimes murdered in prisons that are ultimately under the authority of the American-supported government. Yasir Suhail 2005 graduate

There are about 264 more students walking MSU's campus this year. In a preliminary enrollment report presented at Friday's MSU Board of Trustees meeting, expected enrollment has increased from 44,836 to about 45,100. "It is striking that MSU continues to be such an appealing destination for students," Provost Kim Wilcox said. Wilcox presented the enrollment numbers to the board, commenting on how a greater number of incoming students accepted the offer of admission this year. The report also showed that part of the increase is due to a higher number of graduate students coming to MSU. "A master's degree is becoming more and more the norm for a really good career, particularly in a knowledge economy," said Karen Klomparens, dean of The Graduate School.
