Disneyland-Style Theme Park Set for Baghdad. Honest to God

Satire becomes reality. In the preview for "War, Inc." that Bruce posted below, private contractor John Cusack executes a war for the American government and then watches bewilderedly as a hip-hop star and her entourage invade the country right behind him. Soon English-language billboards and bumper stickers are everywhere.

That's ridiculous, right? An over-the-top display of how the encroachment of American culture and capitalism works. Leftist Hollywood hysteria.

Guess again, sucker:

Success seems improbable at best. Resentment is sure to be created. How about some of the naivete and over-confidence that got us into so much trouble with this war in the first place? Do you have any of that for us, Mr. Werner?

Llewellyn Werner admits he is facing obstacles most amusement park developers never have to deal with – insurgent attacks and looting.

When you are building an amusement park in downtown Baghdad, those risks come with the territory.

The world is doomed.

I don't see anything significant in this article.


The 50-acre (20 hectare) swath of land sits adjacent to the Green Zone and encompasses Baghdad’s existing zoo, which was looted, left without power and abandoned after the American-led invasion in 2003.

Ali al-Dabbagh, a spokesman for the Iraqi government, is equally optimistic: "There is a shortage of entertainment in the city. Cinemas can't open. Playgrounds can't open. The fun park is badly needed for Baghdad. Children don't have any opportunities to enjoy their childhood," he said, adding that entry to the park would be strictly controlled through tight security.

Still not seeing it. Theme Parks should be prohibited from building in countries of poverty and war???

Mickey and Minnie dancing in the rubble. How apt!

Reminds me of the Baghdad Hard Rock Cafe T-shirts after the first Gulf War. Said "Closed for renovations"

But aren't Mickey and Minnie breaking up anyway? Heard Mickey can't take Minnie any longer, said "She Is F#cking Goofy."

a. Profit

b. American??? It's simply entertainment by an American company.



You guys are acting like some evil American corporation is trying to leech wealth from some leveled city on fire with disfigured mutants running around. They're just people, in a country slightly poorer then our own and with a heightened level of civil unrest and police.
