Paving over the 'Holy Land'??
I've jokes about it before: why not take all the land in the Middle East that is currently contested by Israel and the Palestinians, and make it a huge parking lot, with plenty of strip malls and Starbucks every mile or so? I wonder, though...what would happen if someone really did it, and maybe put a fence around it and didn't let anyone in. Would that short-circuit all the religion-based madness from all sides?
