Welcome...and initial guidelines...

This blog will be used in the spring of 2008 by 80+ students at Drexel University to investigate the effects of Iraq on culture and the reverse. Our goal will be to better understand why the US is in Iraq, and to question whether literature can help us on this journey.

Weekly plans and other materials will always be posted in Vista, not this blog. So go to Bb Vista to get the discussion prompts and other instructions.

I intend this blog to manage our discussions and track our collective investigation.

You should have received an email from me inviting you to become a contributor to this blog. The email was sent Monday afternoon to your official Drexel email address.

blog 4: Iraq war and TV show

In TV show Smallville has made Lex Luthor an ultimate villain now. He murders his dad, just to get what he wants. In this case, smallville did go sort of little bit different from superman mythology. Then I realized that its so much similar to recent War in Iraq. Osama Bin Laden did go against his family, in order to get what he wants. He is an ultimate enemy, which is what Lex Luthor turns into. As you can see that war has made impact on pop culture and it will continue to.
