Gehry's museum of Tolerance in Jerusalem

[Michael Oltmans <moltmans@>]

Reasons to expect Frank Gehry's new project for a proposed museum of 
Tolerance in Jerusalem will lead to peace in the Middle East.

* A dedication and announcement by prominent officials such as Benjamin 
Netanyahu and Arnold Schwarzenegger(*) will appeal to everyone.  After 
all, who symbolizes peace in the Middle East more than Arnold?

* IDF and PLO factions will not be able to find one another in the 
confused maze of corridors.

* Gehry's prominence will be able to overshadow 3 thousand years of 
struggle, conquest, and strife due to his innovative approach to 
architecture.

* The shinny metallic exterior will blind everyone in a 200 mile 
perimeter and give them headaches worse than arguing with each other.

* The building will already look destroyed so neither side will want to 
knock it down.

* And the most important reason is that Sharon and Arafat will finally 
be able to agree on one thing; The Museum is ugly as hell.
