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.

The Command Post

This blogs main focus is terrorism and the world's effort to stop it. It also highlights world political campaigns as well as our own political landscape here in the United States. When reading the blog, it seems as if they are trying to make the audience surprised of a fact not commonly known. The authors that write on the blog very concise and are more concerned with factual knowledge than length or writing styles. It is a very "in your face" type of blog, that can easily captivate and take a web-surfer away from what they were originally doing for a minute or two. Overall, the blog made me feel like i don't know everything and that there are many people constantly trying to tell me that.
