I shall return

The reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated. As such, we will continue forward as planned. The test will be Tuesday. The IA rough drafts are due by Tuesday. Be prepared to turn in a reading packet on Tuesday. If you have questions, I will continue to answer them here. I am assuming I will be back next Monday when we will start the Cold War and set up times to discuss the IA's. I hope you have a glorious Thanksgiving.

Another Opportunity for Dean to get 5 points of e.c.

I thought this one was interesting considering what we are studying. Do you think it is practical and appropriate for this individual to face prosecution? If so, should anyone, regardless of which side they fought on, be charged with war crimes if they killed civilians?
