Guru offers "Mickey Mouse Peace Plan"Self-help guru Depak Chopra has a plan to avert war with Iraq. Has Chopra come up with a new paradigm for peace in the Middle East?
He wants to build a Disneyland for Iraqis.
Chopra says, "Let children breath free air at a place where fun and joy abide. What better way to reduce fear and anger?"
The self-help guru added that MTV videos and CNN might also pierce the wall of Iraq's cultural isolation and somehow change the mindset of its populace.
Right.
But one military analyst said Chopra's ideas were a "Mickey Mouse Peace Plan," which could easily be perverted by Sadaam, reports The National Post.
Looks like Mr. Chopra should stick with his books and seminars. He has made millions selling a steady stream of such material to a public looking for the next self-help quick fix. But in the real world of global conflicts his solutions seem ridiculous.
Chopra's mentor Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has his own plan for global peace.
The old yogi now 92 wants the world to help him build "peace palaces." The result will reportedly somehow replace the bad karma of war with a "sort of karmic mellow," reports the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
Maharishi's plan, like most of his ideas, would require putting some cash in the guru's pocket. After all, palaces are not built for free and money seems to be this man's mantra.
