From Student Resource Sheet 1 (Description of Iraq)

The dictatorial government of Saddam Hussein was
overthrown in 2003, following an invasion led by the
United States.The U.S. government believed that Hussein
had been developing weapons of mass destruction that
he planned to use against American and other targets.
The Iraqi government became a transitional democracy
in 2004. In 2005, Iraq held its first election since
Hussein’s downfall, electing Jalal Talabani president.
A new constitution was written and approved later in
2005. Coalition forces still maintain a presence in the
country, battling insurgents who want the United States
to pull out.

Where is the clarification that there WERE NO WMDs? Wha...Maintain a presence????

1. Scholastic really does suck.

What a shame.

2. Don't forget

To add that evolution is just a theory and the dinosaurs are only 20,000 years old put here by God to test our faith.

4. Did you know that Saudi Arabia isn't in the Middle East and had

absolutely nothing to do with 9/11? Check out Resource Sheet 1!!

5. I think I'll give Scholastic a call and ask them why their 'guides'

have no mention of Saudi Arabia. Here's there contact information:

Customers within the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canada may call toll-free 1-800-SCHOLASTIC (1-800-724-6527), Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM and Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Central Standard Time.

6. Good idea. I'll do the same. The most recent "clarification" from ABC

states that this is a docudrama/dramatization. Well, if the DOCU part confused Scholastic enough to place teacher and student guides on their website to go along with this DRAMATIZATION, then what will the average Joe think? But obviously, that's the point.
