For Arabs, Israelis, Americans,anyone who posts thoughtful comments on current conflicts & the seeming disconnect between East & West. My blog's title is Tacitus quoting a defiant Caledonian chief facing the Romans. Adopted as a Kansan slogan, during the bloody war within The Civil War between the border states of Kansas and Missouri in which civilians suffered the most & a 30 mile wide & 150 mile long swath of land was burned by Union soldiers to separate the two states.
| I got this from Treasure of Baghdad's site: this is from the BBC. It is very graphic and is 48 minutes long. I would suggest that any of my students who are writing papers on Iraq (paper 3) watch this: in fact, although I won't make it mandatory, I really think that not watching this would be a shame. | |

I am a professor of English at a midwestern American University. I'm using this blog not only to try to have a meaningful dialog about the clashes between cultures and consequent wars, but also a forum for my students to visit from my "Research and Writing Course." Blogs, culture and politics will be a topic of research. So folks, please keep it logical and relatively clean. Don't indulge in name-calling or racist comments. I will remove those posts that are bilious.
