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.

Blogs of War

Blogs of War is run by a conservative American who is supporting the war on terror. The blog covers politics, technology, terrorism, and the military. I enjoyed reading some of the posts in the blog because the author had a sense of humor in some cases. For example, the author mentioned how Hillary Clinton must have felt awkward when she sat in on an adultery sermon in Kentucky during her visit. The author also talks a little bit about sports and how he views different events, such as Michael Vick getting busted for dogfighting and Barry Bonds breaking the homerun record. I really like how the author includes YouTube videos in many of his posts. The author seems like a really cool guy and i enjoy reading his posts.
