Disney World Forever

A letter to the Economist magazine:
SIR – My favourite solution for Jerusalem is to internationalise the Old City as a Disney theme park. Temple Mount and the western wall would become pavilions in which the strictest rules are observed and the most colourful customs preserved. Audio-visual spectacles in the evening would project Muhammad ascending to heaven as well as the re-enactment of intrigues that culminate with Herod butchering members of his family. The “Life of Jesus” presentation would eventually be expanded to a fully-fledged Broadway musical. Children would run around with fake Arab head-dresses or Roman helmets, which of course would be made in China. I can't wait to get my family a day pass.
