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.

Cost of Air Strike in Iraq

Yes, I do believe that the US Military needs to work with these engineers. As you said, the US Military wants to kill. These people are their to think about the other parts other than the killing. They have to go through what the building is made of, how many people will die, who will die, how long it will take, and other things. While the US Military just has to kill other people and hopefully save themselves. The engineers also have to think about who they can kill and who they can not kill, which building they can and cannot strike, and if these things are the right things to do. The engineers are exactly like the military, striking people and watching them die, but they just take it to the next level by thinking everything out one step at a time.
