From page 1A
said Congress should with-
hold funding to prevent Bush
from making a decision they
disagree with.
According to Cole, Bush
made some decisions because
he won't be in office when it
comes time to face the conse-
quences.
"You know how when
you're on death row and your
scheduled to die fairly soon?"
he asked. "You go to your
lawyer and ask for an appeal.
Your lawyer might say 'We've
launched several appeals, but
to no effect. We could do oth-
ers ones, but they're unlikely
to succeed.' Then you say,
'Launch it anyway - it might
buy me two weeks'. If you're
on Death Row, you might as
well launch an appeal."
He said the president is in a
similar situation.
PoliticalScienceProf. Mark
Tessler, who specializes in
Middle Eastern Studies, said
much of the reason people
have expressed their displea-
sure with sending more troops
into battle is Bush's handling
of past situations.
"I'm not optimistic," said
Tessler, who doubles as vice
provost for international
affairs. "I don't have a great
deal of confidence in the pres-
ident based on what he's done
so far. I do think we've got to
figure out a way to help Iraq,
but I just don't have a lot of
confidence we can do it."
Cole said the plan just
represents more of the same
thinking from the Bush
administration.
"I'm afraid I don't see any
sincere contrition on the
part of the war planners,"
Cole said. "(Bush's plan) just
shows that he really hasn't re-
thought this thing. I think the
war is one of the great errors
in modern history."
ANOTHERPERSPECTIVE
The war has angered many
in the Middle East, University
Islamic Studies Prof Alexan-
der Knysh said.
"I travel to the Arab coun-
tries very frequently, and
there is a great deal of indig-
nation and anger from the
Iraqi perspective," Knysh
said. "They don't see it as an
attempt to remove a cruel dic-
tator or an effort to establish
democracy. They see it as an
invasion and continuation of
western domination of the
Middle East."
At the onset of the war,
Bush said one of the purposes
of the war was to liberate Iraq
and spread democracy.
Often, the Iraqis don't feel
as if they are being helped by
the United States as much as
they feel like they are being
invaded by U.S. forces, Tes-
sler said.
"We know that there is a
lot of dissatisfaction and dis-
trust with the American role
in things," Tessler said.
IMPACTONTHEFUTURE
Each professor agreed that
America might see a backlash
from the rest of the world as a
result of the Iraq war.
Cole said it's not necessary
to look ahead to see a drop in
the nation's favorability.
"The American public
may not realize how well
liked the United States has
often been," he said. "If we
behave in a rogue fashion
and attack countries that
haven't attacked us, there
can be boycotts on American
goods."
Economic hurt may not be
the only concern.
"Our reputation and our
potential moral leadership
around the world has been
compromised," Cole said.
With an approval rating of
just 30 percent in the latest
Newsweek poll, Bush is close
to having the lowest rating of
any president in the poll's his-
tory.
Cole said Bush entered the
presidency on good terms
with the American people and
foreign governments.
"I think of Bush as a high-
stakes gambler," Cole said.
"Now he's got like two chips
left on the table."
WHAT WILL COME
OUT OF THE WAR?
Even if Congress approves
the 21,500-troop mobiliza-
tion, it's much too early to
speculate on the war's end
result, Tessler said.
"It's impossible to know,"
Tessler said. "We do know
that there are some things
that have tobe on the agenda.
One of them is a political solu-
tion, which involves having
greater coordination with
other countries."
Knysh said Bush should
clarify the goals in Iraq for
both the civilians and the
troops.
"The problem with the
president's objective as victo-
ry is the definition of victory,"
Knysh said. "What is victory?
Is it just temporary pacifica-
tion and attempts to conduct
elections?"
Cole's prediction had more
to do with what would come
out of the war. When asked
what Iraq would have to
thank the United States for,
he answered promptly.
"At one time, one could
have said they could thank
us for getting rid of Saddam
Hussein and his government,
who were killing many of the
Iraqis," he said. "Now I think
it's reached the point where
there are more Iraqis that
are going to end up dead as a
result of U.S. intervention and
policy decisions than when
they were controlled by Sad-
dam. Bush has managed to
turn it into a wash."
DIGITAL
From page 1A
decisions, Gilbert said use of
his software would be legal
under Proposal 2, which
banned the use of affirmative
action by public institutions in
Michigan.
Gilbert said the software
looks at all aspects of an
applicant compared to other
applicants and so -doesn't give
specific preferences based on
race or gender. It looks at the
differences between students
based on their application as a
whole.
"It actually solves the prob-
lem of admissions," Gilbert
said.
Chris Lucier, the Univer-
sity's associate director of
undergraduate admissions,
who often comments on
admissions procedures, could
not be reached for comment.
Gilbert is marketing the
software to universities for
use in their admissions pro-
cess. Having already visited
schools including UCLA,
Indiana University and Cor-
nell University, Gilbert wrote
to University President Mary
Sue Coleman about Applica-
tions Quest.
The University then invited
Gilbert to give a presentation
on campus.
Gilbert's original inspira-
tion for Applications Quest
came during the University's
Supreme Court case on affir-
mative action and from the
passing of California's Pro-
posal 209.
"Doing this presentation
at the University of Michigan
is very important to me," he
said, "Because it all started
here."

For Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2007
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
Conversations with friends are partic-
ularly penetrating today. Somebody
(could be you) wants to get to the bottom
of something - and will!
TAURUS
(April 20to May 20)
Exchanges with bosses and parents are
very much to the point today. You want
to know why people are doing things.
You want to know the purpose for every-
thing. (Pretty tall order.)
GEMINI
(May 21to June 20)
Your desire to explore new ideas and
philosophies is very strong today.
This is an excellent day for any kind of
study or research. You'll make great
headway.
CANCER
(June 21to July 22)
You can definitely ferret out answers
to unsolved problems today. You
have the mind of a sleuth! You will
quickly see the subtext to everything.
Ah-ha!
LEO
(July 23to Aug. 22)
Discussions with partners will be
intense and very revealingltoday. At least
you're searching for answers. You want
the bottom-line truth about something
(nothing sttgar-coated).
VIRGO
(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
You can get a lot done at work today.
You're energetic and extremely focused.
In fact, you're relentless about accom-
plishing whatever you intend to do.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
You're intrigued by mystery and
games today! You want something excit-
ing to happen. Work with puzzles or read
a whodunit. You might enjoy watching a
spy thriller movie.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)
Family discussions are definitely
intense and direct today. You're not
going to stop until you find out what you
need to know. You're looking for the
truth.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)
You have X-ray vision today. Your
mind is also totally absorbed by one
idea. If you try to convince others of
something, you will succeed!
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)
You have definite ideas about finan-
cial matters today, whether you're earn-
ing money or spending it. You also want
to know the source of things. What's
behind all this?
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)
Today you're prepared to investigate
or ask any questions in order to reach
your goal. Others will see that you're
prepared to work hard for what you
want. Perhaps you want to change peo-
ple's thinking about something?
PISCES
(Feb. 19to March 20)
You might learn something about
yourself today that actually changes
your life. It's a truth you can no longer
ignore. ("Luke, I am your father.")
That's a joke, but you get the drift.
YOU BORN TODAY People admire
you because you're entertaining. This is
good because you need the company
(and admiration) of others. You like to
socialize! It's important for you to find
others of like mind to hang out with
because you need to be appreciated for
your contributions. The year ahead could
bring you a major change, perhaps as
significant as in 1998.
