War in Iraq looks different when viewed from the perspective of many of America's ethnic communities. Pacific News Service examines reaction to the war in Chinese, Mexican, Russian, Korean, Indian, Pakistani, Filipino and Afghan circles.
- U.S. Pakistani and Indian Communities Split on Iraq War
While the governments of India and Pakistan support Washington against Iraq, the Indian and Pakistani communities in the United States share concern about how the war will affect them.
- Chinese, Koreans in U.S. Fear War's Effect on Economy, Wonder Who's Next
As California becomes a Pacific Rim state with an increasingly large Asian population, the opinions and concerns of Chinese and Korean communities become even more important in the national debate over war in Iraq.
- GIs Helping Homelands, But Filipinos and Afghans Here Fret Over War's Fallout
The Philippines and Afghanistan both support President Bush's war against Iraq, and both have U.S. troops fighting government enemies on their soil. But those facts don't translate into wholehearted support for the policy against Baghdad among community members in the United States
- Russians and Mexicans - Homelands Say No to Iraq War, But Communities Here Split
While Russia and Mexico would not support the United States on the U.N. Security Council in voting for the war in Iraq, and refuse to join "the coalition of the willing," Russian and Mexican community members in the United States have mixed feelings on the war.
