    Yeah, there are was a big penny stock scam this year that involved DUBAI. The whole thing seems shady to me.

Dubai is closer in proximity to much of the world then the United States is, and as it appears, it will have a lot more to offer then the U.S. will too. Unlike the U.S., the rest of the world isn't worried about being attacked by terrorists every time they set foot outside of their own country. I seriously doubt that the creators of this project in Dubai are as worried about American tourists as much as we think they are.

          England and the Rest of Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Spain are probably the only european nations where some of its residents might be able to afford Dubai... the other nations I dont see going there because they are not as rich AND because, while they dont have what Dubai will, if they want to see a tower could go to Paris, if they want to see beautiful beaches, could go to Barcelona, Portugal, Greece... Dubai is catered to the uber rich, not middle class. I remember reading about Dubai about 2 years ago and its VERY expensive...

          i see most of the business coming from N. America and Asia right now, but we'll soon see...

          as for the terrorism, england and spain are up there in terms of terrorism...

            I dunno, you're probably right in a sense. Just last month a representative of Dubai was in Toronto for an investment thing. It seems the Dubai government is trying to get direct foreign investment for construction, residential and business complexes etc etc.

            As for the links to Terrorism, I don't doubt that there is some of that. I however, don't think the government of Dubai actually encourages it but the way things are set up there. (no taxation) the ability to funnel funds between terrorist groups is quite doable and easy.

                  I guess they want to develop like crazy while they still have profitable oil deposits. When the wells run dry, they will have created an alternate source of income. Smart.
                  possibly or itll become a ghost city. Visit their while you can. I heard its huge for Europeian travelers. that must really affected tourism for USA. we need to get on the ball.

                  its quite sad that we're are basically paying these dudes to make and live in luxury with our dependency on oil. Too bad they couldnt lower prices just alittle bit and take a small hit. I cant believe there making millions out there.

                  its almsot on the level of making me angry

                      Yeah, like someone else said, this is not what I pictured when thinking of Dubai. No wonder Tiger goes to play in that golf tournament over there every year (I'm sure the appearance fee they give him helps too). It's also no wonder that he's building his first golf course over there as well.
