Dubai only has the veneer of modernity. Underneath, it is as 7th century as the rest of the Mideast.

40 or so years ago I watched a 60 minutes or another network show that did a bit on this crazy sheikh driving around barren desert in a Mercedes talking about how he was going to use the country’s new found wealth in oil money to build a city to rival NYC.

I can’t imagine why anyone would go there, or any other shiite hole country in the Middle East. I can guarantee, I won’t go there.

I have heard stories of Western women who were raped in Dubai and then imprisoned for "fornication."

I totally agree! This place is one backwards country.
