Remember the Htoo brothers, Luther and Johnny? The Burmese preteens who, unlike most of their peers, channelled their feelings of aggression into forming an “Army of God,” not video games? Who toted assault rifles around the jungle, willing followers in their wake, but still found time for naps? Well, they could be coming to a junior high near you. The U.S. is close to giving the Htoos green cards. Now, it’s bad enough when the guy sitting next to you in your MBA class might well be responsible for the genocide of 800,000 people. But can you imagine going to eighth grade with these guys?
