It goes without saying that our troops fighting in the middle-east should learn Arabic. But is this the place to do it? Hat tip to Cinnamon Stillwell.

This is OT, but when I logged on I could have sworn I saw an ad for Dunkin Donuts with that dingy Rachel Ray wearing a kaffiyeh scarf or however it is spelled.
