The WTC attackers were mostly saudi. I say let'em build this thing and let's fly some UAV's into it.
Payback in kind.

This is an old idea.
Genius architect Frank Lloyd Wright planned to build an office tower one mile high in Chicago back in the late 50's, but died before it could get off the drawing boards.
If anyone
could have done it, Wright could have. The savages never will. They do not build, they destroy.

On a clear day, the view from the top will take in the Middle East, North Africa and the Indian Ocean ...Someone at the Daily Mail is awfully credulous. However clear the day, youll see nothing like that from a 747 cruising over Jeddah, let alone from a tower seven miles below it.

Well...they don't do it themselves. They hire German, Swiss, French, American, etc architects and engineers to design and provide the logistics and then other foreign labor to build it. So it might be possible.
But you're correct in that they could never build such a structure.

“These cats have too many petrodollars.”
We are the reason that they have the many petrodollars. If we would just ignore the environwackos and develop our own oil industry, things would turn around fast.

Yeah, and laborers to build the tower, from Africa, India, Indonesia, China, Vietnam, etc.

This sounds like something people with immense wealth they did nothing to earn might come up with. A substitute for real accomplishment and the pride of earning what you have.
