I shit you not. This has to be the most amazing story that is getting NO attention over the past few weeks. They are building a massive amusement park in the green zone. A $1M skate park (shipping 200,000 free skateboards to Iraqi children), rebuilding the zoo, a concert theatre and museum. Seriously??!! Let's give the Iraqis some clean water, maybe consistent electricity, etc before bringing - Its a small world to Baghdad. The groups like Al Qaeda hate the west for living with excesses like amusements parks, so I am sure this will go over real well in the heart of the middle east.
Here is a link to the story on a blog, with multiple links to learn more in the blog posting.
It's a bomb world after all
Here is the original story written about this project - Baghdad Amusement Park

The plan is genius. The Iraqi kids will start skating, smoking pot and developing a 'I could give a crap' philosophy. Then when radicals come in to recruit young sucicide bombers they will get a "Dude, chill out man, that would be like a ginourmous amount of effort."
