Stitch themed party and Byron turned three years old on Feb. 3 and he
enjoyed a Spiderman theme. There was plenty of friends and family in

erage because of the war.
NCAA president Myles Brand
said that several contingency plans
were being worked on just in case,,
but added, “On the other hand, I
think we have to be very careful not
to let Saddam Hussein control our
lives.”
Bush’s decision to attack Iraq
has drawn criticism from interna-
tional leaders, making it difficult for
the U.S. to get United Nations
backing. French President Jacques
Chirac said he felt that the U.S.
carried a “heavy responsibility"
with the new ultimatum. While the
French government.has been one
of the more vocal dissenters on the
looming war effort, the government
did concede on Tuesday that there
was a point in any war where they
would back the US.
"If Saddam Hussein were to
use chemical and biological weap-
ons, this would change the situa-
tion completely and immediately
for the French government,” Am-
bassador Jean-David Levitte told
reporters.
. Just how much support the US •
will get from its allies is debatable
as well. Spanish Prime Minister
Jose Maria Aznar announced Tues-
day that Spain would not be send-
ing troops to fight with the U.S., '
but will send a hospital ship, troops
trained in decontaminating nuclear,i
chemical or biological attacks, and
engineers trained in diffusing land •
mines. Australia will send troops,
and Japan will help as well. Portu-
gal will allow the U.S. to use its
airbase inLajes. So far, America’s,
strongest supporter has been England. •
Germany, Russia, Mexico and
China have, said they will not sup-
port a war with Iraq.
