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.

the impact of the war.

Like most of the other posts that I have read, I do not know have any family members or friends in the war. I don't even know of any of my friends being associated with someone in the war. I can honestly say that I don't really follow news about the war that closely. I know the big facts about it, and from what I do know I think it is just a waste of time, and the soldiers that are over there dying shouldn't even be there at all. Maybe it was okay for the US to be in Iraq in the beginning, but after five years it is getting to be kind of ridiculous. Bush should realize that he isn't really accomplishing anything by being over there still except for killing innocent US citizens. I should probably watch the news about it or read newspapers about the war just to educate myself more on it, but for now I really feel as if it is a waste.
