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.

Día de los caídos

Like others I did nothing out of the ordinary during my three day weekend. BBQ's and family time is all that happened along with a few parties with my friends. I guess if I had to make some connection with my weekend and the brave men who gave their lives for me to have such a relaxing weekend it would have to be the absence of their effect on my life until I am reminded. I never stop to think of how good Americans have it until Memorial Day, but I guess that's the point of the holiday.
