Who gets the hotels and will there be gambling?

A Safe Baghdad with it's antiqueties will become a very hot tourist stop....

Interesting:

Does Islam permit gambling?

(They prohibit most other vices in their own cities, then the wealthy tend to go overseas and dance, drink, and employ prostitutes.... )

(Women's clothes is usually very, very restricted as a "modesty" rule - actually it subordinates women, but lets not tell NOW that - they don't want to encourage Bush to free the region.)

Slavery in Saudia Arabia was legal, encouraged, and active until 1962. Slavery is still practiced illegally throughout the backwaters of Africa in Islamic states, but I think everybody in the Mideast has prohibited it.

But I've never heard gambling mentioned!
