Pastor's Phoney Plans, Falls Flat

In relation to Tom Friedman's Hot, Flat, & Crowded; this seems like an interesting approach to his idea of the world becoming flat.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The pastor planning a burning of the Koran on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks said Thursday he would not go forward with the event, adding he would meet with the imam planning to build an Islamic center near ground zero.But a deal that the pastor, Terry Jones, said that he had reached to move the Islamic center far from ground zero seems to be more vision than reality. The imam planning the center, Feisal Abdul Rauf, said in a statement that he had not spoken to Mr. Jones or Muhammad Musri, the Orlando Imam who has been acting as a mediator between New York and Gainesville.

I believe that this proves the world is indeed  becoming more and more flat due to the fact that the very people whom this pastor was trying to get rid of, were able to build a mosque near ground zero.
