Dubai hit by economic downturn - 24 Nov 08

It is often said that the Gulf region is immune to the global financial crisis.

This perception may be about to change as Dubai's boom starts to fizzle out.

With debts of up to $80m, Dubai could be in need of some urgent financial help.

You need a good book about the economy, look for Ha-joon Changs great book about the myths of Capitalism. Great idea for the elites to read this.

@dazzamadi We're the only secular nation on earth, born from the enlightenment. Where the son of an African immigrant is president. We moved forward so all those reasons don't apply today dumbass. And if it wasn't for us saving your ass in WW2 you would speaking German right now you little bitch, so thank us for kicking japans ass. And they got what was coming to them for rape of nanking.

I can see a little eurabian brit fag like you has already surrendered to pisslam and dictators- total scum

@ImaginedWriter America has no history of slavery, racial discrimination and social upheaval. No riots, nothing. Next you'll be telling me that America is not the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons in what was obviously (in the case of Nagasaki) nuclear holocost yet still continue to try to tell countries like Iran that they aren't civilised enough to have nuclear energy?? Go eat a few burgers and continue dreaming my fat friend. Alabama? Love ya Mama a little too much?
