Give me four years to teach the children…

…and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.

Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.

-Lenin

Bolshevism is dead, but it’s techniques are not.  The totalitarians du jour have revived the techniques of building the next generation of Islamic terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.

Incidentally, the madrassa’s headmaster claims that he’s not teaching terrorism.  However, I wonder what his answer would be if he were asked if he were training Mujaheddin.

Can I get a NATOPS qual in that?

Looks like the dirigible might be getting a second life.

I would love to get qualed to pilot one of those.  Perhaps I’d then get to wear the totally old-school Naval Dirigible Pilot Badge.
