"Rumsfeld should resign. He's been a disaster. As far as the shakeup, I don't know that there really is one."

Carolyn Argento, Prospect Street

"Long overdue."

Richard Hankinson, Grover Avenue

"He should have resigned a long time ago. I was against this war from the very beginning because I don't believe in killing people for oil, especially, or for any other reason. Rumsfeld is so close to Bush that firing him would be like firing himself. I am an American citizen and have been living here for 23 years and I am very upset about what is happening here. I am also a Polish citizen and I see similarities to what I saw in the dark days of Poland some years ago."

Marzena Danilewicz, Hamilton Avenue

"It is rubbish. I think that he is doing a good job. It is political hype that we are going through. I don't believe in it. It is a tough job and I don't think that anyone would do it better."

Ursula Taylor, Caldwell Drive

"I am fine with him staying where he is now. I am not convinced that anyone else would do a better job. He serves at the pleasure of the president and the president wants him to stay there so he stays there."

Howard Deutsch, College Road West
