I'm not German

Germans aghast at 'Holy Disneyland' plan

but you wouldn't be far wrong to say that I'm fairly 'aghast' as well. (Nice word, 'aghast'. We don't use it enough.) I am, however, not surprised by business planning to make money on this and people getting sucked in to spending money on this, Creationist or not. Not all surprised...

Personally, I am even more appalled at the proposal to plunk a Disneyland like theme park in the green zone in Baghdad.

People without clean water or electricity, dying for the lack of the most rudimentary medical supplies in the hospitals and the yanks want to put up a theme park.

Yes... winning their hearts and minds... and what a F$%ked up sense of priorities.
