Rides you want to see at the Baghdad amusement park?
Disneyland goes to war-torn Iraq, with a multi-million dollar entertainment complex, to be built on a 50 acre lot adjacent to the Green Zone. ("Fun park rises from ruins of Baghdad zoo", The Times, London, 24 April 2008)

The American-style amusement park will feature a skateboard park, rides, a concert theatre and a museum.

The occupation forces are of the opinion that Baghdad is "lacking in entertainment". General David Petraeus, is said to be a “big supporter” of bringing Disneyland to Baghdad. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8837

3. The ride will take you North, South, East and West

4. "It's a Mall World"
It's a world of shopping,
A world of sales
It's a world of discounts
on scarves and veils.
There's so much you can buy,
Even missiles that fly,
It's a Mall world after all....

It's a Mall world after all
It's a Mall world after all
It's a Mall world after all
It's a Mall, Mall world.

17. "It's a Fucked World"
Edited on Thu May-01-08 10:34 PM by Kutjara
Ride in a miniaturized Humvee, over a track littered with tiny human skeletons, while burned, melted, and blackened dolls sing (over and over):

It's a world of shit
It's a world of pain
Full of hypocrites,
And of poisoned rain.
But don't worry your head,
'Cause we're better off dead.

It's a fucked world, after all.


All together now!


And they could have a "Tomorrowland" where there's just nothing. "Fantasyland" would be the airport. "Main St. USA" would be a perfect replica of L. A.'s Skid Row.
