In response, the Israeli
Defense Force has occupied
the Palestinian-controlled
town of Jenin and tightened
blockades around Tulkarm
and Nablus, areas it views as
terror bases.
“I think Israel will play an
integral role to the war on ter
rorism,” Johnson said. “I
think if we can stop violence
on both sides, it will have an
international impact.”
In Afghanistan, U.S.
airstrikes have targeted caves
and tunnel networks outside
the Tora Bora region, an area
in which the Northern
Alliance’s foreign minister
Abdullah Abdullah said he
suspects Osama bin Laden
may be hiding.
Meanwhile, Northern
Alliance soldiers flooded the
remains of a prison near
Mazar-e-Sharif to drive
Taliban loyalists out from the
location of last week’s revolt.

Fbrbes prescribes economic plan
By AMBER BILLINGS
abillings@randb.com
Steve Forbes, business
tycoon and former presiden
tial candidate, offered advice
for a wounded nation on how
to recover from the present
global economic downturn.
“Even though we’re in a
recession right now, with a
few changes, we could get
the economy roaring,” he
said.
More than 400 members
crowded the University
Chapel Friday to hear the
editor in chief of Forbes
magazine, who spoke on how
September’s terrorist
attacks have affected the
nation and the world
economically.
To solve the current eco
nomic problem, he said
Americans should have indi
vidual equality in the eyes of
the law and property rights,
stable value of the dollar and
low taxes.
Also, Forbes said the
economy would recover if
people were able to create
businesses with less difficul
ty and were able to trade
more easily with other
countries.
The current economic
state is a result of poor deci
sions by the central bank
system, namely Alan
Greenspan, the chairman of
board of governors of the
Federal Reserve System, he
said.
Other evidence points to
high taxes, which should be
reduced, and the regulation
of high technology, Forbes
said.
“We are living in extraor
dinary times. There has been
few times in the United
States where there is enor
mous opportunity and enor
mous danger,” Forbes said.
“If we do things right, this
crisis can turn into an era of
liberty, opportunity and
democracy.”
Forbes also said the
spread of democracy is cru
cial, which has brought great
changes to nations who had
authoritarian governments
in the past.
“For countries such as
Egypt and Saudi Arabia ...
(they) can’t deny a voice to
its people. Their regimes are
losing legitimacy in the eyes
in its own people,” he said.
“We must practice global
diplomacy and have interac
tion with young people
about democracy and
American values.”
Matt Joe, a freshman
from Lilbum, said he agreed
with the majority of Forbes’
points.
“I trust his economic poli
cies more than his diplomat
ic policies,” he said. “(But) I
agreed with him on his for
eign policy.”
Another student said she
was surprised by some of
Forbes’ remarks about the
United States staying out of
other countries’ financial
situations.
“I think it’s intriguing
that you can’t improve
(some countries’) economic
conditions by giving them
more money,” said Ashley
Lott, a freshman from
Citronelle, Ala.
