Here is part of an article I just read on the Internet. It's quoting Ahmed Ridha, head of Iraq's National Investment Commission, who said one billion dollars for the island development was not too ambitious in the war-torn nation, considering the amount of money coming in to the country.
Iraq unveiled plans on Sunday for a multi-billion-dollar resort with spas, golf courses and a six-star hotel to revive a once popular honeymoon island on the Tigris river in Baghdad.
Tourist board chief Hamud al-Yakuby said the organisation wanted to secure between one and three billion dollars for the new development on al-A'arass island in the heart of the capital.
And why not build schools, hospitals, roads, things that could benefit the majority instead of the lucky fews ? But you see they receive so much money from all of our countries, that one billion $ are peanuts.
I wish our governments would stop funding such stupid & completly useless projects and Countries !!!
