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.

From all the posts that I read from this blog, the tone of the authors was definately against the War in Iraq. At the same time , posts made me sort of emotional. Especially the post "Any Soldier," it explained how so many soldiers didn't get their letters from their family. Their were soldiers who didn't get any sort of mail, like encouragement form friends and family members. This part made feel so sypathetic. All these soldiers fighting for our country, and they get no encouragement from their loved ones. Author of the posts was also sort of sypathetic towards the soldiers. There were also lots of concerns on what type of impact is war going to put on the soldiers. Basically, their were many concerns on the soldiers and how are they affected from the war in Iraq.
