MikaylasMom - Hey ... true.. I really appreciate the soft corner in your heart for those who are suffering here in Qatar... specially the contract labor class... the educated are enjoying the best of Amenities here.. thts not the point..

THe point I would like to make is... Genrally when you are in your own country you do not come to know the actual Image of your nation in World... As we see the world as the native Media shows us...

When you read the posts from others like CBD.. pls do not take it personally/on heart... take it like a jus another statement... and actually try to analyze what actually the Govt has done...

THe reasons could be anything...

And a strong stand against The US... if you think it is also because of the fact tht US is the richest and rt now most prosperous (materialistically) .. You are not wrong... because weather people accept openly or not.. everybody wants to be known by everyone as Top and would critize the one who is rt now.....

I think Election of your President is a world's concern... n specially it was OBAMA.. the first Black... the Whole world was watching it as if it was a Football World Cup final.... :-)

And this was a 1st step (bloody Giant One I mus say) America has taken to show to th world.. irrespective of the Color.. america now means Business...

Few F ups of Lehmen Bros n AIG n GM doesn mean the Americans gave up... they are fighting hard to get back to the normal times.. when it is not the Jobs layed off but the Sky roaring GDP makes news....

But Honestly PLs don't feel Offended wanted to know....

HOw on this earth could you people Choose a IDIOT like GW Bush to lead you??????????????

THt Guy has never spoken a word wisely... Blunders committed by him (his Speeches) won't be done by even a Donkey sitting on the Presidents Chair or the smallest country of this world.....?????

WHY?? and HOW??? Al Gore was a Intellectual as far as I know.... He had written books n Noble Prize Laurate...

And About Green America... It ll take time....
No matter wht happens... Gold, Coal, n Iol.. shall never loose there Shine.. till the Civilization survives....

Why you think all the Gulf Nations are focusing on Real Estate n all.. Dubai on Finance n Tourism... Doha aims to be World Center for Education.... Everybody thinks of long term....
