Oregon Road Conditions & Cams Email Story to a Friend March 19, 2006 SinceWEAsked: Turmoil in Iraq Violence is escalating in Iraq even as elected officials struggle to form a government. We asked: "Is Iraq headed toward civil war or stable democracy?" Advertisement After you read through the answers from our Web readers, check out our new question, which pertains to school policy changes that would allow drug-sniffing dogs on Medford’s high school campuses. By definition Iraq has been in an escalating civil war since the downfall of the totalitarian dictatorship that controlled it. — George T., Medford It's been that way for thousands of years. — Eddie V., Los Angeles, Calif. Iraq is headed toward civil war unless we maintain control over oil sales. A democracy cannot exist with the domination of our military presence. — Traci J.,Medford If we define civil war in terms of the American experience, with organized armies battling for control of cities and the countryside, then no, we’re not looking at near-term civil war in Iraq. But if we define civil war as widespread, interminable and bloody sectarian strife, then we’re already there. — Bruce B., Ashland If you believe Iraq is heading toward a stable democracy then you'reprobably inside the fortified "Green Zone of Disneyland" where realityslips safely into fantasy. But outside it's civil war or chaos. — Gery B., Medford This week’s question: Eagle Point, Phoenix and Rogue River high schools bring drug-detection dogs to campus and the Medford School Board is considering a policy that would open the door to such searches on its campuses. We asked: "What do you think of having dogs trained in drug detection search school property?" Please keep your answers brief and on the issue at hand.
