"As violence declines, Iraqi officials launch effort to draw tourists" by Christopher Torchia, Associated Press | July 24, 2008
BAGHDAD - Now that insurgent attacks and sectarian bloodshed have ebbed over the past year, Iraq's government is beginning to promote tourism.
One risk-taker is Robert Kelley, an American businessman who stood at the edge of a field in Baghdad's Green Zone on Saturday and said a luxury, $100 million hotel would be built there.
How about using that $$$ to REBUILD the place first?
"We think the Iraqi people want to get along with each other," said Kelley, head of Summit Global Group, a US-based investment company.

Occupation Iraq: Sectarian Saviors
I never believed the SECTARIAN shit to begin with, not with people who have lived together and intermarried for thousands of years.
Just coincidence their mosques began to blow up once USrael got there, right?
He did not identify the investors.
Why? They JEWISH?
And NOW the CAVEATS!!!!
Despite his expression of confidence, many hotels in the capital are virtually empty, and the National Museum, full of relics from thousands of years of history, remains closed to the public.
War has reduced places like Babylon, where the Hanging Gardens were located, to decrepit, virtually inaccessible outposts of ancient culture.
I would just like to point out that the ANTI-CHRIST is to DESTROY BABYLON!!!!
Ummm, WE GOT a WINNER, folks!!!!
And HE AIN'T an ARAB or MUSLIM!!!!!
Only ONE MORE SERVICE LEFT to PERFORM (Iran)!!!!!
The northern city of Mosul is near the remnants of Ninevah and Nimrud, cities of the Assyrian empire. But Mosul is one of the more violent places in Iraq these days.
So WHY NO REPORTING?
Do I EVEN HAVE TO SAY IT, readers?
