Dubai Terrorizes the US. Again.
The New York Times has another article about Dubai.
Before 9/11, most of the Gulf oil money got invested in the US and in Europe. After 9/11, the US realized that it could confiscate the wealth of anyone suspected of terrorism, which terrified many of those from the Gulf who had oil wealth to invest. Dubai saw this as an opportunity, and offered a safe haven for Gulf oil money, which poured into Dubai in unbelievable quantities. The oil money pouring in attracted other money, including money from the US, Europe, and the sub-Continent. Dubai is now trying to invest that money all over the world.
The US blocked Dubai's attempt to purchase a few US ports, but Dubai continues to move vast quantities of money into and out of the US for unknown purposes, but the US is convinced those purposes must necessarily be nefarious.
Whatever Dubai has in mind, it is successfully terrifying the US.

The US are terrified of everything and everyone. Give them any information and they will twist it into something, terrorism/border security etc.
When the Glasgow airport attack happened recently, instead of them thinking/saying that they should be more alert, they were announcing an attack in the US as imminent.
anyway, they should be afraid from Dubai....hehehe
And nice to see I am climbing your list once again...now in No.3 spot. How on earth do I get 1 & 2 out, I wonder?
CG: I'm afraid I first heard about the Dubai blogosphere when Secret Dubai was blocked, and the block reported in the Gulf News. If she ever goes inactive (or leaves Dubai), you'll move up.
Americans fear anything and everything Muslim. :(
