In a city consumed by chaos, war, occupation, corruption, intermittent and unreliable electricity, sewage overflowsthat you sometimes have to wade through, food shortages, public-health crises, you know what you shouldn’t build?
…luxury hotels, a shopping center and even condos in the heart of Baghdad.
That’s all part of a five-year development “dream list” — or what some dub an improbable fantasy — to transform the U.S.-protected Green Zone from a walled fortress into a centerpiece for Baghdad’s future.
But the $5 billion plan has the backing of the Pentagon and apparently the interest of some deep pockets in the world of international hotels and development, the lead military liaison for the project told the Associated Press.
