Someday, when the oil runs dry or an alternative becomes practical, the middle east will be peppered with the world's most modern edifices no one wants to visit.
I won't visit Dubai. No doubt about that. They may be building the tallest skyscraper, but I don't give a damn! They're doing it on slave labor wages! What is it? Oh yes. $7.50 a DAY for carpenters and $5.00 for laborers. A day! I'm sorry, but I have nothing but scorn for Dubai and people who purchase property there. Mind you it IS a muslim country, so you don't get a clear title on your property, ah yes, infidels don't get to own land in a muslim country, though, mumble mumble, they are trying to change that rule. Give me a break! Dubai. What a joke!!
