Gulf markets fall among uncertainty - 5 Oct 08

Markets in the Middle East have closed deep in the red. They had been spared the pain over the last five days because they were closed for Eid holidays. But no respite for them today. Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra reports from Doha, Qatar.

BUSH NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED!!!!!

Sorry, with the current economic crisis, we can no longer offer Bombings for free. We will begin charging for the service of bombing your countries at a fairly reasonable rate.

Act now, and we can through in a ground-invasion and instability leading to potential civil war at a discount!

Void where prohibited, no-returns, Limited five-year instability warranty.

The west needs to find an alternative to oil & stop giving all our money 2 the corrupt Muslim countries. Then we can just let the Muslims N the east fight & kill each other. Those who would not die from all the wars they would most definitely fight 4 all the power, would end up starving. And the world would finally be a peaceful place...almost 100% since almost every single armed conflict in the world & all the violence involves Muslims at this point in time.

You have to wonder how there could actually be such clueless people in the world in this day and time.

lol sorry i only need to speak ENGLISH :)

As for nations like mine, sure they have made profits and sure people have suffered because of them. However billions live today because of western medicine and technological advances

The "west" is also the primary aid donor of the world. These nations currently profiting from state owned oil production dont give anywhere near as much aid as we do

The high fuel prices have caused food prices to rise which leds to MORE poor people starving

[mrshutter77]

I think nations like your have made billions starving the poor to death for hundres of years. and yes you need get off you monolingual ass and learn a new language you mother fucker.

A barrel of oil at almost $150 sent a signal to all western countries that they have to break their dependence on oil and SOON. Had people not been greedy (western trades/ companies but oil producing countries too) then the price would not of risen that high.

Oil is seen as so unstable, the buzz in the west now is get off oil and fast. They will be the losers long term from their greed.

these countries have made BILLIONS from high oil prices which has hurt the poor in the 3rd world the most

[TheBritishWatcher]

Im sorry but when oil prises start to fall the OIl cartel meets under the name of OPEC and decides to CUT supply. This is clearly taking advantage of the market, and in the west we have competition laws to protect against monopolies.. its ashame we dont have such protection against certain countries.

Clearly they are not puppets, otherwise they wouldnt be helping to raise oil prices which seriously hurt western governments. As for saving them, read some world history.
