Jack Hanny: "I think we're going to win, because we have to. We're going to change our policy, have a different war-plan. We're going to sustain tremendous losses especially when we go into Baghdad. It's going to be a firefight beyond what we've ever seen. It'll be horrendous because you have human shields...human bombs, the threat of chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction."

Philip Duverger: "That's a loaded question. It's going to be US victory as usual, with a high price for the rest of the world and the US. There will be a lot of consequences in terms of diplomatic relations between the US and Europe. For Iraq it's going to become a tribal type of regime, sort of like Africa, unless the UN is involved like it was in Bosnia and Yugoslavia."

Katie Frank: "War is not being used as a last resort. Are we going to start a war with every country we feel threatened by? We're killing people. That's not a way to solve problems. It's as simple as that."
Lily Jaffe-Shupe: "Increased terrorism The war would fuel hatred for us and that's how it would increase terrorism. Even if we kill some terrorists, the ones left would hate us even more."
Nena Perry Brown: "People in other countries are going to dislike us even more now."
Gannet Cassidy: "Half of the Iraqis are under 15 years old. They're our age! It seems like the government's pushing for this war and if the war were really justified they wouldn't need all this hype around it."
Emily May: "A lot of people at Blair feel this war is unjustified. A Silver Chips poll showed that 67 percent were against the war. "It could possibly become World War III."

Roy Patmalnee: "We can win battles and lose the war of public opinion. The longer the war goes on, the more it requires the UN. It has to be finished in months, not years. We're alienating the Middle East and other areas of the world.
Rob Browning: "I think the policy of containment won't work. It has to be a policy of getting in and getting out. I believe in what we're doing. This is a dictator who's gassed his own people. I think we're the policemen of the world. But body-counts talk the loudest. In one sense we'll win —we will oust a dictator and stop his ability to produce chemical and biological weapons. But we'll pay a high price of young people killed."
Joe Gonzales: "The world will be a better place. As far as body-counts, in the civil war they would kill hundreds in one shot. We have a total of only about 34 Americans and 20 British killed so far. This is a civil war—we're basically fighting their civil war."

Cynthia Mariel: "Death. Political instability and more terrorism. I think Humpty Dumpty will have a great fall, and the Humpty Dumpty is the Bush administration and American arrogance."
Mike Livingston: "More terrorism. And, right or wrong, the US has always been credited with a measure of moral credibility, and we've lost it. After September 11, there was a huge global outpouring of sympathy and solidarity with the US....George W. Bush has squandered that in less than one year. It's astonishing, really."

Dean Hoge: "The long term is the most important. It's going to be bad blood between Arab nations and ourselves. People will now have a suspicious view of the US."
Lydia Riley: "A long period of killing and destruction in many parts of the world, especially of US troops and civilians abroad. Ecological deterioration. And a strengthening, in the long run, of the UN, and a burgeoning of anti-war feeling to abolish war from the planet, because the weapons that have been developed now are so beyond human scope."
