Why is that BS? We want the ME to do that, it should create a more civilized society, which once it spreads, should reduce the threat of terrorism.
Urban development does not make you civilized.
No, but free-market economy and the desire to be a prime trading partner with the West sure does help it along.
I think the UAE, and Dubai in particular, are the exception to the rule in the ME. They have the advantage of modernized, forward-thinking rulers and sujects. Unlike the majority of the area.
I think it's great to see what they're accomplishing, and hopefully some of their open-mindedness will rub off on their neighbors. If not, I suppose it's possible that their 'world's tallest building' might possibly suffer the same fate that ours did.  I'm still glad we didn't turn over our shipping ports to them though.
