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.

Media, Whaaaaat?

It's like with my parents, they started watching more BBC World News, and less American news stations. What you hear on the news now a days is becoming less and less credible. The stories can be very one sided sometimes. People tend to listen to what these reporters are saying and a lot of the times they're not getting the real news. It's a shame really, no American should ever have to question the credibility or truthfulness of our own news stations.
