In Baghdad at least 200 targets have been hit during the air offensive. In the first two weeks, military targets and communication centers were hit. More recently, the raids have destroyed government and private buildings across the city. One of the latest, targets was a $16 million conference center near the Al-Rashid Hotel, home to many foreigners. There is tremendous anger directed at the United States, and also a growing feeling that Saddam should not have invaded Kuwait in the first place. "We Iraqis were slowly returning to normal life after our war with Iran (from 1980-88). There was no need to invade Kuwait," said an employee at the AlRasheed who did not want to give his name. "We don't need the oil," he said. "We need to live." ; to creafi He said he also has his own ideas about safety on campus. "To improve safety, we should expand the Reserved Police Officer force," he said. "Members of the RPO force are criminal justice majors whose starting wage is around $5 per hour. They've proven to be cost-efficient, and they work." He also said the RPO's could use the meter maid scooters during the night so the outlying areas of campus are more accessible.
