Apologies for the last one. It''s just that now, in addition to lower fuel cost for us, there will be a lot less cash slid under the table to the extremists that just want to kill everybody.

The kings, with their 24-ct gold faucets on their custom made Boeing jets, are feeling the squeeze? Well, h*ll, let''''s bail them out too!

This is why gas tax will go up. Our communist government can''t stand that we might have ten dollars left after a tank of gas, to spend elsewhere. Let the games begin!! No democrats or republicans, only politicians that have sold us and our country out, And would pimp their mothers and daughters for a euro, ruble, or dollar.

Dubai should have spent money to develop a sustainable way of life in the desert. I don''''t know how to do that, but solar power plants, fishing fleet, desalinization plants, cultivating desert plants come to mind. The price of oil will go back up or if it doesn''''t they will just have to adjust like everyone else.

===========================

Good idea but the USA should have done the same when we were a creditor nation and before we went broke and bankrupt.

Hopefully the ultra rich worthless jet scum have collapsed along with Dubai. 1% of the USA has 90% of the wealth.

It is difficult to feel sympathy for the ultra-wealthy people who are caught in the squeeze in Dubai. They are victims of their own greed.

I''ll save my sympathy for the lower to middle income families who have lost their homes elsewhere.

I was there almost 20 years ago for the first Gulf War, before the construction boom and overbuilding and glitz and glamour.
I liked it better then.
