A Westpoint friend of 2Slick's suggests changing the name of Iraq to Babylon.  I think this idea has merit, but I would prefer if it was a decision made by the Iraqi people.

I think the idea truly has merit from a marketing point of view:  what sounds sexier as a place to travel?  Babylon, mysterious, ancient, and wonderful.  Iraq...isn't that the place with all the fighting and stuff going on?  Maybe all the negative stuff from the MSM about Iraq will work in the new Babylon's favor.  It could happen....
