As Jimmy Carter travels the nation to promote his new movie, Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains, keep in mind this gem from Eric Trager over at <a href=”http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/eric-trager/1178-1178″>Commentary’s Contentions Blog:

Video games loosely based on historic wars are nothing new. But the recently released “October War,” which invites children to “fight the Israeli Air Force starting from Swais [sic] til Barliv [sic] Line,” offers a new twist to the genre: it is available exclusively on the Anwar Sadat website’s “Kids Corner,” thus making it the first war-themed video game to be released on the official website of a former head-of-state. Indeed, dedicated gamers will be disappointed to find that the Harry S. Truman Library’s kids page lacks similarly inappropriate atomic bomb video games, while other typically dry former head-of-state websites won’t even arouse their curiosity.

Perhaps some U.N. program is sponsoring these games on computers for Egyptian kids?
