Here's a creepy look at an Iraqi primary school's Civics curriculum during Saddam's reign of terror. Far from learning such banal things as how government works or what the constitution means (did they ever have one?), this lovely course indoctrinates young tykes in the finer intricacies of the security apparatus and the magnificent achievements of their glorious leader, among other things.

It is this extreme damage to the minds of future Iraqi generations that will be hardest to fix. Even a little injured girl who was brought to Kuwait for treatment, found herself inadvertently expressing her love for Saddam while she was at the hospital. Her father just shook his head in embarrassment, and asked not to hold it against her... Not that anyone with half a brain ever would; she was just a little girl and that's all she learned at school.
