Saudi Arabia is booming too. Here's an article from the NY Times.

Countries around the Persian Gulf have doubled their profits in the past 4 years due to the rise in energy prices. I have a feeling development in the Middle East is only just beginning.

You know, every time I see something on TV about them building those big sand islands, I can't help but think about the Sunday School song about building the house on sinking sands.

And yet we are still in Iraq, racking up even more debt that we can't pay back.

Wow America has become the average american with bad credit and huge debts they can't pay back. The bank will call the U.S. will have them on caller ID and the president will say, " Don't pick up that phone Dick we have no friends with 800 numbers" !
LMAO

P.S. James why does dubai strike your interest the way it does?
