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.

A war that has no end.

I have not been influenced directly or indirectly by the war in Iraq or the aftermath of this issue. However, as a global citizen as well as a spectator of this controversial issue, I would strongly say that the war in Iraq does no good to any nation in this world. The present scenario in Iraq clearly shows any foreign national that US can intervene with its political system whenever the US government comes up with the idea of doing so.

The war was initiated with the prime intention of eradicating terrorism from the world. This approach was quite successful as it brought out results when they hanged the leader Saddam Hussain. However, his death indicated that war against the US will never come to an end as they will always retaliate. The US government still deploys armies on Iraq boundaries to ensure that the economical and political stability of Iraq will be looked after.

The aftermath of the war against Iraq has contributed greatly to many injustices within the community. One of the main problems that have occurred is the deprivation of things that determine the quality of life including shelter, food and drinking water. The suffering of the children in this area is not looked after. The immediate attention of the situation is mandatory. On the other hand, the forces that have been deployed do not get to visit their country for a long period of time. These forces suffer for no productive reason.

In conclusion, the war in Iraq has brought up many unexpected problems that have not been answered by any authority.
