That is not really relevant...... the projects are there. It can not be rationalized away.
I am one of the westerners of which you speak. We in America hire some of the same western folks to design and build what we need in the same manner as in the Gulf. It is also noteworthy that easterners from the Pacific rim are also heavily involved in the progress as well.
You seem to be hung up on big projects. I repeat, a Renaissance is more than big building projects.
Of course it is relevant. Just like in the past the missies can do NOTHING of their own accord. They MUST have outside help or they will merely blow away with the sand of the desert.
You may think you are having a great tome there because you earn big bucks and get treated like you are very special.
You are delusional. You are helping the enemies of not only the US but all of Christendom. Better you should go to North Dakota ad work there.
How many churches with towering spires and crosses on top have you helped build there??? None of course
