When the Russians put Sputnik into the stratosphere, the Americans reacted by pouring huge amounts of money into educating scientist – very successfully.

The trouble with this war, is that we need multi lingual people who understand the Middle East, and who are at the same time American patriots. The universities are useless here, given their anti american bias; and the State Dept is an Arabist institution, meaning it is chock full o’ ivy league graduates of the anti American universities (really, folks, get a copy of Kaplan’s “The Arabists”, it is key to understanding the State Dept)

So, where to find these people our civilization needs? I think they will be propagated by the Department of Defense, and they will receive their initial education during this war in Iraq.
