Machine and Tony.... I'm suspecting they could have bought all our dinar back for the cost of these renovations... unless... this is all in the plan to get them back to the head of the pack, getting the support of their M.E. neighbors again and looking good at all the block parties!

They're trying their best to impress their neighbors, and hopefully get some help getting out of the rut they're in.

I figured at some point the powers that be would have to at least attempt to "sell" the idea of the Arab summit and justify the costs to the average Iraqi citizen. I mean, imagine being your basic average poor Iraqi hearing about this multi-million dollar event that he doesn't necessarily support or understand. I feel like this article is an attempt towards that end.

I just pray after this summit meeting is over with and done that all agreements have been reached and all arrangements made for their people and for us(ha,ha). Lets get this RV going.
