terrorist Disneyland"
Rohan Gunaratna told a security conference at Lloyd's of London insurance market that Iraq, like Afghanistan in the 1990s, would become a "terrorist Disneyland" where al Qaeda could build up its strength unchallenged

So extremely long lines, incredibly overpriced meal and hotels and theme rides based on movies made 40-50 years before you were born? I don't get the analogy.

1. Well, you know, the only reason terrorists kill
is for the sheer childlike joy in murdering random civilians for no reason. They have no political agendas at all.

2. Iraq has become Fantasyland....

It is the land of make-believe, where you have to be a child to believe the fantasy that al-Qaeda is running the show there.

In the real world, it's called the Iraqi resistance fighters, not al-Qaeda.

So the analogy applies.
