Good point - I had not thought of the likely outcome. Interestingly the rich Muslim (Arab) world has a similar problem.. all the skills are coming from non Arab Muslims.. maybe like Rome trying to incorporate the barbarians .. A play that never has a happy ending That is NOT a stable situation. Okay while the money is good from oil sales. But free stuff found under sand is not a robust long-term foundation for civilisation. I guess Singapore has better foundations despite having no found wealth. Fiji had a similar problem with Indians having migrated and taken leases in the 19th century. When the leases expired, they were dispossessed with many generations having been born and nowhere to go. Similar to Ottoman Empire leases on land in Palestine being terminated and sold to Jews with Israel then being created. Ooops a daisy. Dispossessed people. Dubai and those super flash cities founded on oil don't look robust to me. I guess in 50 years they'll be abandoned. But maybe global cooling will mean 100s of milions of people fleeing from Sweden and elsewhere due to returning glaciation for warmer parts such as Dubai. England handles migrating hordes by voting. The locals dislike it, but hopefully it at least avoids revolution and carnage. Londonistan is now over-run and conquered. Brexit was a day late and a dollar short, but at least it reduces the Bruxelles overburden of kleptocrats. Mqurice
