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.

War on Terror

The War in Iraq should not be just the United States against terrorists. If we really want to solve the problem, we need other countries to contribute to the fight. The United States is relied on too much to be the “police” of the world and expected to help anyone. I feel that if we really want to put an end to terrorism in the fastest way possible, we are going to need a strong effort from other countries. The United States military is always there to help everyone else, and now it’s time for them to help the U.S. The stronger the presence we have in the Middle East, the more terrorism we will be able to put down. The world needs to take the war more seriously. For too long it has been just the U.S.
