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.

My Dad is Better than your Dad

In a test of brains and brawn children everywhere are trying to sign their father figures up for NBCs new action pack family friendly show "My Dad is Better Than Your Dad". The military is based on these same principals of brains and brawn. Given success in both of the categories one will be able to defend their country (or family in the case of this show) in the best possible manner. Success in the military is gauged on your rank and honor, similarly, the show ranks fathers after every round and eliminates the weakest link. This principal of elimination is seen in the battlefield. When you are ill prepared some soldiers will be killed in the battlefield or not pass through boot camp.
