In fact, there's a great article by Matt Kirschenbaum (a college professor who uses wagames for teaching) about how the recent events in Egypt might play out using Labyrinth.
Similarly, Rex Brynen's excellent PaxSims blog (newly-added to our left sidebar) has not one, but two articles on using Labyrinth for teaching. The first is a relatively straight-ahead review, with some musings on teaching. The second comes after having a trial run through a game in a teaching environment.

ReplyDeleteSecond, I'm not going to be one to apologize for characterizing theocratic sharia-inspired regimes as "not good" and that's not just US propaganda talking. Let's go ask an Afghan woman who's getting stoned for wanting to go to school and see how they characterize it.
