#1 The UAE is the most livable, tolerant Gulf Cooperation Council country. Visit visa I have was free, good for 10 years, and I didn't even go to the embassy to pick it up. If only Saudi had a tenth of what Zayed had set up. Sure he had his drawbacks. I'm pretty sensitive about anti-Semitism these days, but the place astounded me the three time I've visited.

#3 I was reading that al-Nahayan did not have a successor. But it sounds like they will work it out. A woman running the economy and planning mimistry sounds like they are light years ahead of Saudi Arabia. Any thoughts, .com?

#4 Should the houris be removed? I also thought the UAE was the bright star in Arabia.
