It's hard to believe, but there is limited tourism in Iraq. As this story points out, most of the tourists come from Iran to see Iraq's holy sites. Even more interesting is the report that the Pentagon is backing a five-year plan to build luxury hotels and shopping malls in Baghdad for the price of $5 billion. What do you think about this? Is it premature or overly-optimistic planning? Should local shopkeepers and merchants get consideration as well?
