Our President has signed off on $700,000 to fund "The Future Babylon Project" to create this area into a tourist site and thriving city. The site states, "Babylon stands out among Iraq's rich contributions to humanity...". There are many other web sites and reports of this project I suggest looking at them. I don't want to link to the sites, this is sticky business.
