One Step Closer

This little bit of news caught my eye this morning. Of course, its glossed over with the typical tragedy of war and occupation, but it was the fact that the international community as well as the local officials that want to see the city rebuilt even beyond a simple archeological attraction. Still, I think its going to be a while before we can call this the Williamsburg of the Middle East ;)

If Iraq ever splits up, as I postulated in a previous post, look for Babylon to be declared the free city of the Middle East, especially once Jerusalem fully falls into Israeli hands.
