The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - 7A PROFS 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." - Elise Woznicki contributed to this report.

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. Birthdate of: Anthony LaPaglia, actor; Nolan Ryan, baseball hall-of-famer; Minnie Driver, actress.
