"Anyone with the slightest knowledege of the reason knows that Dubai and the UAE, along with Oman and Bahrain are the most pro-western, forward looking, moderate counties in the region."

In that region you're not saying much.

The "moderate" UAE supports the Taliban and Iran's belief that Israel should not exist as a country, and have taken communist China's tac of government imposed restriction of Internet use. Their "moderate" form of government is an islamic Skeikdom, just like Saudi Arabia.

No, its not just like Saudi Arabia. The differences between UAE and Saudi Arabia are more pronounced than the differences between, say, the United States and France.

And you should say that the UAE "supported" not "supports" the Taliban, and even then, you'ld bwe skirting the truth. The fact is that they RECOGNIZED the Taliban when they ruled Afghanistan. That's a long way from "support".

And they do neither now.
