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.

Sgt. Stryker's Daily Briefing

The blogs for Srgt. Stryker were all about the Iraqi war. He talks about the letters sent to the soldiers, recruiting, movies coming out about the war and many other things. The tone is solemn at times because it talks about the war and people in it, but then it talks about interesting things like dogs being sent to Iraq to aid in finding explosives. The blog has a lot of info in it so it can be cool to read but then he talks about the War and I really hate hearing about somewhere we need to leave from.
