Pack your bags for Baghdad? Iraq looks to tourism
Obama would counter by saying how do we know there wouldn’t be tourism if we followed his plan.
Obama is the perfect candidate for the American Left.
If I could figure out a way to finance it, I’d go in a minute, just to see our magnificent Warriors’ results if nothing else.
look! mom, that guy’s going to blow himself up!
The Japanese will all wear the same color hat and follow the guy with the flag...in a straight line.
Why not? Baghdad will be an interesting place to visit. Loads of history there and in the vicinity. It’s on the spice road, it was the capital of the caliphate, it has the Tigris and the Euphrates nearby, birthplace of agriculture, and Babylon all there.
Hopefully when things are through shaking out, people will mention looking forward to a trip to Baghdad.
“Come to Iraq, you’ll have a blast !”
(*And we’re safer than Philadelphia !)
As long as I am allowed to kill anyone that so much as gives me a dirty look, I’d go.
What a great idea. Once the locals got a taste of tourism and MONEY instead of their 6th century religion and poverty they’d do a double take for sure.
