If Iraq was once a part of the Garden of Eden, then the place has sure gone to hell in a handbasket....
I hope this is possible.
Where are the "Greenies"? How did they allow this to happen? They need to get in there and fix the problem!! I am sure the "insurgents" will quake in their boots when the "Greenies" appear.
environmental nuts = lefty democrats or greens, thus oppose Bush for the sake of it and support all that are opposed by Bush.
Bush, evil anti-environment CONSERVATIVE, saves the marshes. I wonder if you'll find this article on DU?
Maybe we could plant a new tree of knowledge of good and evil.
> Maybe we could plant a new tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Oooh! Ooooh!! Can we then berate anyone who learns from it?
>considered by some to have been the Biblical location of the Garden of Eden
I have a question about this that has always bugged me. For the sake of arguement, assume that the whole Eden/Noah/Moses/etc. storyline is Absolute Fact. Well... if Noah floated around for, what, a year or more on a flooded Earth, what are the chances that he would land anywhere near where he started off? Could not Eden just as easily have been Newark?
A restored marshland would be one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Ecotourists would love it, and it could be a model for similar projects the world over.
I wonder how the world's various Green Parties would feel about the liberation of Iraq if this happened?
That would presume that the environmental nuts actually CARED about the environment.
They don't let facts don't get in their way. It would be too confusing for their drug addled, extreme leftist brains.
You guys are ON to something here..........

In the summer here, we say that it's sort of like Hell must be...barren, dusty and hot as....well, Hell.
The area from The mouth of the Euphrates to Damascus to the Jordan River valley used to be called the fertile crescent until the poor farming practices of the natives combined with the resurgence of Arab pastoral practices after the Islamic conquests deforested the land, drying it up and making it into a desert. If you have ever seen photos of Israel when it was part of the Ottoman Empire before extensive Jewish immigration you will see how much of a craphole the place was. Now after years of reforestation and modern farming practices, that area is in much better shape.
They don't care about the environment; they care about leftism.
