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.

similarites between us

It would seem that most of us have the same opinion and logic to Iraq. Even though we know that people are fighting and dieing we feel that were so far away that it doesn't affect us. The one s that are truly affected are the ones who have intermediate family members over in Iraq. This wouldn't apply to me only child and all, but others that have brothers and sisters in Iraq, seem to have Iraq closer to their minds than the rest of us. War is a strange thing, it brings some people closer and all they do is obsess about it. while it makes others try to go farther away from it.
