A. One of six people said that the war in Iraq was inevitable.
B. Four of six people said that the religion of Islam is not a violent religion that supports Terrorism. One of six people thought some sects of Islam promote violence and the remaining person thought Islam was a violent religion.
C. Five of six strongly stated that they were against President Bush and thought he can not solve the problems America is currently facing. One out of six thought President Bush was doing a good job.
D. When asked what about America people dislike, the answers ranged from being a very arrogant country that exploits others in the name of peace, to a nation of bullies.
E. To "win" the war in Iraq, America must produce a stable government with diplomacy, strong relations with neighboring countries, and to just flat out leave without killing the rest of the soldiers.

Quotes from some participants.

"I support our men over there, but I'm not sure about the cause."
"We have to go over there sometime."
"I don't like it, I think we should bring our boys home."
"No I absolutely do not agree with the war, I hope everyone else says the same thing."

We also asked a Muslim women. To our surprise, she agreed with the decision to go to war and said yes. In our conclusion, we took into consideration that Massachusetts is a democratic state, possibly slanting our results towards an anti-war perspective.


Curtis K. and Andres S.
1. Everyone said that they were against the war.
2 We asked them what they thought of when they heard "Islam" and one replied with they thought of it as a religion that was very open to other races and that they are good people.
3. We asked them why they thought people from the Middle East were mad at us enough to commit terrorist attacks and people thought that they are jealous and envy the American people.
4. Last we asked if our foreign policy is making us safer or more vulnerable. They answered with no it is creating more chaos, and one thought we should have gone over and built hospitals.
