Harmagedōn, interesting comment. I read the news while I was offline yesterday - should have come to QL 1st for info. Lol!
"Dubai is and was a dirt-pool where people were living above their standards. Now, they have learned their lesson."
- Only temporarily cos they got burned. Once the dust settles, people tend to forget rather easily. One good thing about their risky endeavour, they have put Dubai on the world map = London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong..
But IMHO, they went a bit too far. Total freedom is anarchy (or at the very least, opens a huge opportunity for abuse leading to serious damage). There was one other thing mentioned in the newspapers (read both GT and Peninsula yesterday) about Abu Dhabi and the other emirates of UAE being concerned about Dubai being a security concern...
