Bush informing the nation that our country along . with Britain had begun air strikes against Afghanistan at key points where the terrorist groups are trained and based. The government has urged the American public to be patient, many felt we should have acted sooner but Edric Carreon a student at UVSC stated, "The time frame for retaliating is perfect, we are attacking, but this is more of a warning of what is to come, not full out war." Monday morning our nation was alerted that the attacks would continue indefinitely. These attacks bring on a heightened state of security for many of the nations government organizations. The FBI is at their highest rate of alert and military bases are conducting car searches and full ID checks to enter any U.S. military base. This is not' a war that is going to pass by us quickly like the Persian Gulf War. The U.S. is dealing with a zealous nation that is determined to fight until the end, even if it is for but one man. The Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar is quoted as saying to TIME magazine, "Half my country was destroyed i,V'": ' "V V7"v . A j 7 r. -U---. FILE PHOTO Sunday the President announced the U.S. bombings of targeted Taliban sights In Afghanistan by 23 years of war. If the remaining half of Afghanistan is destroyed in trying to save bin Laden, I am ready." The Afghan army has 40,000 dedicated soldiers ready to sacrifice their life for a greater cause. They have even been able to keep Russia at bay for ten years. This will not be a war that is easily won. The strikes are hitting military installations in Afghanistan and so far there have been no U.S. casualties. The Taliban has reported 20 people dead in Afghanistan mainly women, children and elderly. This report does not bother many students here at UVSC, Andrew Crowley stated, "As Americans it is our nature to feel bad for civilian loss, but the people responsible for killing our " civilians, namely bin Laden held no regard for our women and children, so that should not really be a consideration for us when we are going after bin Laden. In war people die even innocent ones." Though the U.S. is hitting many areas of Afghanistan with air strikes, they are also dropping medical and food supplies for the ailing Afghan people. President Bush has promised $320 million in humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. "Despite efforts by the Taliban to disrupt these critical aid shipments, we will deliver food and seeds, vaccines and medicines by truck, and even by draft animals. Conditions permitting, we will bring help directly to the people of Afghanistan by air drops," Bush said. While many American feel that the recent attacks may invite more terrorist attacks on the United States they are still supportive of these attacks. Governor Leavitt has also announced precautions that Utah is taking precautions by increasing information sharing, which will help law enforcement agencies to act quickly and efficiently. A terrorism preparedness sight has also been added to the Comprehensive Emergency Management website which is www.cem.state.ut.us.
