>the quicker the oil runs out the quicker this country gets back to living in huts in the desert.

That is the whole point of all this development in Dubai.

Their oil IS running ut, and they are trying to build up a massive tourist industry before it DOES run out.

I have been a few times, as my husband works there. Really it is just for people that like top class hotels, with top class service and good western food. Oh and sunshine.

The point is you can stay in a top or even world class hotel at half the half the price of the same hotel in a world class resort. If you like this level of service and just to stay around the hotel, then it is fine. Otherwise, no culture, entertainment whatsoever!

The only talent in most, if not all, Arab countries is the bought-in talent from the west - and the labourers from India, Phillipines, Africa. The indiginous population are just lucky camel fuckers who happened to have some oil that we extracted for them. The only thing going for Dubai is it's warm in our winter - but it must be high on Al Queda's list of targets, because they've sold out to the west.

I think that's unfair and pretty insulting Jonny.
