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 Mesopotamian

This blog is by an Iraqi man who recently moved to Canada. Reading his comments about our politicians and candidates and the Iraq war is really refreshing. His tone implies that he knows a lot of insightful stuff. Thankfully, he gives original perspectives, in my view, of how the Iraq war is going. He is against the jihadists and terrorism, and firmly believes that success in Iraq is paramount for the Iraqi and American people. His english is different from what I'm used to, but his ideas and thoughts around world events imply that he knows more than me and is worth reading to gain a good perspective on the war.
