Cool. It has to be creative though. Not the average "we shouldn't be there" style drivel.

We're starting now if that's cool. It needs to be done by Dec. 4. Do you and your people want to handle the research? I will write it and I think I can get I_Guy to edit it. Whatever you want to do though.

PERFECT!!!!! That will be a GREAT internet source! Btw, there has to be 4 publication (books, newspapers, etc. You can find them on the web though) sources for every 1 web source. Btw, Nate, do you know what MLA format is? If you want to help I need to ask you to learn how to use it. That way I can just get the sources and put them down with no prob. Wikipedia, for example, uses MLA. It is a format for identifying sources. You can find tons of info about MLA on the web. In fact I think there's an MLA site.

Yeah, I'll be happy to edit. And yeah MLA format is cake.

so let's do this. the blog needs to be persuasive and it needs to be about something unique. something no one else has touched on before. and we need to finish it quick. it needs to be done BEFORE DEC. 4. i will be writing it so that part is on me, but we need to brainstorm for ideas and do the research as a team and do it fast.

so let's start brainstorming:

ideas such as "this war is for oil", "the U.S. president had it in his best interest to fight this war", and "the Al Qaeda weren't there until we invaded" have already been done. what kind of ideas can we take? can we cross reference this war to other countries/wars? can we show, from an economic standpoint, how this war is crippling our economy (which may have also been done before anyways)? what ideas do you guys have? I-Guy? Menace? Nate? Sodr? anyone?
