"I've worked and done business in Dubai. They are demonstrably unreliable. They have three different legal systems. Contract law means nothing. All it takes is a "Will of Allah" and you can flush your contract down the toilet...and if some Sheik wants something, its obviously the "Will of Allah." Oh, and I love the "largely permits religious freedom" part. "The whole time I was there I never saw a church nor could I find a Bible in their book stores. "Should we touch on their democratic form of government, free elections, equal treatment of women? [sarcasm] "What about just the equal treatment of expats? Once you get past your probationary period you're a virtual slave there and can't leave the country without the permission of your Sheik sponsor. By the way, Zayed was the crown prince. I'm sure giving them the contract to operate our ports is another step towards democracy in the middle east -- in a fool's eye." From internet freerepublic.com
