  SURVEY
Do you find the 'Wack The Iraq' game offensive?

Players shoot paint balls at live human targets dressed as Iraqis.

Figures of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden adorn the arcade.

The game is creating mixed reactions. "I think it is very inappropriate and offensive to the Iraqi people," said Kristen Steele from Hershey, Pa.

Bryan Salsano from Allentown, Pa., had a different opinion. "It's great. If my hands were full I'd whack him a few times."

The operator of "Wack the Iraq" said the game is just seaside fun and is not meant to offend anyone.

There is a sign at the game that states "Wack the Iraq" is intended to insult only one person, Saddam Hussein.
