While Prime Minister Netanyahu talks about the rebuilding of jerusalem, members of NATO met together in Chicago at a place called "Acropolis meets Apocalypse"
Here is an excerpt from the publication of Chicago Tribune talking about the draft soldier field
Friday, Sept. 28, 2001. Standing on turf near an end zone, Mayor Richard M. Daley defies critics of reconstructing Soldier Field to benefit the private company that owns the Chicago Bears: Daley says the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority will proceed to issue nearly $400 million in bonds to help finance the then-$606 million project. He repeats his frequent assurance to Chicagoans, words that will haunt his successor: "I remain absolutely confident that taxpayers are not at risk for any part of this project. If I had any doubts, I would not proceed."
Much attention that autumn day 10 years ago focused on military veterans' opposition to the proposed project's grotesque design. After Daley's news conference, several elderly vets who had been recruited to stand as props alongside the mayor told reporters the massive new seating bowl would overwhelm a memorial to American soldiers killed in World War I. Sports Illustrated later would ridicule the architectural collision as "Acropolis meets Apocalypse."
Judging by the picture the acropolis really meets apocalypse.....
