ASK JACKSON

The Southeast Missourian asked people what they thought of the U.S. response to Saddam Hussein's aggressive military action in Iraq.

Corey Jones: "We should turn Baghdad into a parking lot. We need to do something because of what he's doing to the Kurds. The sanctions haven't worked. He'll be back at it before you know it."

Scott Lape: "I thought he should have learned his lesson the first time with the Gulf War. I agree with what we're doing, even to using more force to show him who's boss."

Jerry Wagner: "I think we did what we should have done. I don't think we should go full-scale like in the Gulf War. I would rather see us use the cruise missiles than put American lives at harm."

Gretchen King: "I don't think we should have acted yet, because he just invaded his own country. If it went farther, then we should have done something about it."

Caroline Harper: "I think we have enough problems at home then to worry about that. However, I agree with what we did, but that should be our only move right now."
