Literary Interpretation: Iraq War
http://mitchellsweet.blogspot.com/2007/10/iraq-war_30.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Here is another youtube video that I found kind of amazing. It is a video of Dick Cheney in 1994 talking about it being a terrible idea to invade Iraq and that in his own words Cheney says that invading Baghdad would be "Quagmire". I found it funning that after saying this Cheney thought that it would be a good idea to invade Iraq eight years later. Cheney in 1994. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Justification for the Iraq War. Yesterday in class we talked about what we knew about the Iraq War. In answer to the question, how many students in this class believe that there was some kind of link between Saddam Hussein and 9/11? Half of the class raised their hands. According to this resource, "The intelligence community (CIA, NSA, DIA, etc) view, confirmed by the conclusions of the 9/11 Commission Report. And the Senate Report of Pre-war Intelligence on Iraq.

Frankie's Blog: Persepolis links
http://frankievelazquez.blogspot.com/2007/11/persepolis-links.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2007. The books Persepolis 1&2 both deal with the Cultural Revolution that took place from 1980-1987. This link. Is to a page that summarizes it. It to a youtube video of a man who briefly describes the situation in Iran and how it has changed since the Cultural Revolution. It's a bit short but I think it gets the message across. I also found this very interesting video. Of Sadat and the Shah of Iran in an interview from many years ago with who appears to be the Imam of Egypt.

Ian's Lit Blog: December 2007

Wednesday, December 5, 2007. I have read this book before and in rereading it I'm really disappointed that I waited this long to pick it back up. It is a collection of maxims and advice that fortunately, while it has a spiritual feel, does not really identify itself with any particular religion. That may be the defining point of the book, its universality. Work is love made visible. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Tuesday, November 27, 2007. After browsing around on Wikipedia and other websites, I found out quite a bit of information about Turkey (and read quite a bit that I already knew). One of the more interesting things I found was an article on Wikipedia about the issue of secularism in Turkey. Wednesday, November 14, 2007.

Patricia Danielle Schultz: Final Blog
http://patriciadanielleschultz.blogspot.com/2007/12/final-blog.html
English 1100 with Dr. Allen Webb. Thursday, December 13, 2007. So here we are, the class is done. This is my last blog, my last record of this class. I know I'm supposed to write about the book I read independently, but since I did my paper on it, the idea feels redundant. Instead, I'd prefer for this, my last blog, to be a reflection on the past semester. All in all, I'm glad I took this course, and I hope the others enjoyed it too. Boo, your blog is hard to read!

This is my blog for English 1100 at Western Michigan University! I expect to be writing in it two to three times per week. Wednesday, October 24, 2007. Vice President Dick Cheney giving a speech. If I were an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. we come from israel, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? The power of interest groups and lobbies is...
