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.

Stand Down

"Gosh it seems like only last year that Iraq was a disaster, a catastrophe, a maelstrom, a ....... quagmire. Oh wait a minute, it WAS last year." This quote pretty much sums up the tone, and style of the blog "Stand Down". Most of the subjects of each blog concerned themselves with the upcoming election, current Iraq blunders and the president's failures. Most of the tones were sarcastic and snotty. The authors were your typical "I'm an expert on this subject because I read the news, I'm right, your wrong". After reading some of the blogs I wondered if these authors wanted some cheese with their whine. I think this blog needs to STAND DOWN.
