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.

Reality Love?

Due to our nations economic drought because of the war depleting our funds writers went on strike. With this blow to television viewers were forced to watch reality shows. But the crazy thing is these reality shows consist of a bunch of people fighting to love one person. this struck me as strange considering were just all up in arms trying to find Osama Bin Laden. We had special forces out swat teams the whole nine yards. And back home were watching our own version of the Iraq war, 20 women fighting for Bret Michael's love. Or better yet 30 men and women getting down and dirty begging for Tila Tiquila's love and affection. Now to my understanding we are still as war to bring peace to Afganistan when the same message is being protrayed on TV with fighting for love. Its simply amazing where we get our inspiration from.
