We brought it upon ourselves.
their economy will be just fine. Dubai is increasingly replacing Bahrain as the playpen of the Middle East.
And now for my next prediction (I called this last night when the GOP idiots stuck that into the defense bill), I predict that the UAE will cozy up with Iran.
They don't want too, but we've absolutely screwed them on this. They opened their country to our men and women in uniform, but we are petty, I guess.
We're screwed. I hope Qatar doesn't kick us out.

Not too likely; Sunni and Shiites are bad mix, especially when one of the pair has rockets and nukes. USA and UAE still have common interests.

Much as I hope your prediction is wrong, it probably isn't. Did you see all the people on yesterday's threads stating, emphatically, that Dubai wouldn't retaliate?
