All things considered it’s not a bad list. I’m not sure that stupid arab building belongs though, but overall it’s acceptable.

"Im not sure that stupid arab building belongs though, but overall its acceptable."Poll taken by tourist outfit: New7Wonders Foundation
There are two ways to cast your vote online:
Register as a New7Wonders member and get 7 free votes
Register and Vote
Vote for your favorite candidate and receive a personalized New7Wonders Certificate featuring that monument (US$2)

I guess if you poll tourists, a lot of them have been to that Burj Al Arab Hotel, Dubai.

>>> Second place was given to the Eiffel Tower, which has been visited by more than 200 million visitors since its opening in 1889. <<<
That’s less than 2 million a year, I would have thought there would have been much more than that.

Thats less than 2 million a year, I would have thought there would have been much more than that. I was thinking the same thing. But maybe they are talking about the number who actually go up the elevators.

I was going to suggest that we find a way to shoe-horn Elizabeth Hasselbeck in there somewhere.

Im not sure that stupid arab building belongs thoughDon't let its arab name distract you. That beautiful building was designed and built by WS Atkins Consulting Engineers, a British-based company. It's a much better use of Islamic money than madrassas and IEDs, you have to admit!

Miracles/Wonders of the world
1. America liberates, rather than destroy, whole countries who attack it
(Germany, Japan, Afghanistan, Iraq)
2. America gave the world the Internet from DARPA
3. America led the way to the moon.
4. The American people, for the moment,
remain patient of the UN and terrorist countries.

LOL
Y’all have some wonderful and some funny choices there. It’s nice to remind people of the great things that the USA has done and the ideas we represent.
Thanks for the smile this morning.
