This just gives you an idea of how tall the Burg Dubai really is.

there are heights of the Sears Tower from here in Chicago as well as the soon to be tallest building in Chicago the Spire (http://www.thechicagospire.com/)

the Burg is just incredible.

They developed their tourism industry because they are out of OIL, tourism is all they have, and I don't care how much they develop it, it's still in the middle of a fucking desert.

You know, the best part about Dubai is that very few, if any, anons will be able to afford to partake of this luxurious affrontery. I can't wait until nature reclaims this shit. Also, not a hippy. Just bitter.

Rich Muslims funding terrorism across the world with just their pocket cash. The religion of peace murders people every other day with expensive explosives and automatic weapons in 3rd world nations all over the world but won't spend a dime on improving the lives of it's people.

Funny how it works over there.

ummm no
its on the EDGE of the fucking desert
see that blue stuff? its called ocean

also most people here seem bitter that the sand-niggers got so much money from them through oil so that they can build stuff like that.
wanna change it? save energy: isolate your house, dont drive an SUV, turn down the fucking AC ...

Maybe this is just me and I'm not understanding something, but, where the fuck is the source to that river?! Which way does if flow? Did they just dig out a giant dike and let it fill up with sea water?

Funny, because no Iraqi oil has been touched by Western hands. No special deals for export have been arranged. In fact, the West has done nothing more than fund Iraq's oil industry to get it back on it's feet. All Iraqi oil belongs and will forever belong to Iraq. No one else.

Add to this that even Canada produces daily more oil than Iraq ever did at it's peak, and I think the case makes itself. Oil was never the motivation. Learn to go to multiple sources for your information before believing the lies of college professors and media talking heads.
>> hypothetical /k/ommando !!XjJvbJ+XipI

The source is the sea.

I imagine it's just a trench filled with water by the ocean. Probably not even a proper river.

Don't you see the chain? Iraq owns oil, some "leaders" own Iraq, usa owns these "leaders". Do you really believe in sand democracy? Those people never had any form of free will on a state level, unlike ancient Europe civilizations. Muslims need a master, when america killed old one they become the new one. Speaking of oil, who got tenders of distributing that oil? You say one country hasn't enough resources - it's not a problem, Iraq wasn't last INDEPENDENT country to be slaughtered by egoistic redeemers.

Finally someone gets the idea.

I remember back when I used to go to Digg people would repost the construction images of Dubai (every time with the title "LOL HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS CITY BEING BUILT" or some stupid nonsense as though this was news) and I would try to explain that the purpose was to leave them with a relatively long-term investment that would still produce some money for the people living here after all the oil's gone.

Some nearby country (or maybe Dubai, I forgot) is buying up western professors to have them teach at, research under, and work with people in the middle east so that they give a sort of academic air to the area as well, to lend itself to naturally attract intellectuals who are interested in researching this stuff. Same basic idea of producing a stream that will outlast the oil, but taking it in a more philanthropic way.

Sorry you fail. As any self-respecting oil man knows, when the oil is tapped out it becomes a source of fresh spring water - lemon scented too!

I'd be great they invested that money into making jobs and businesses rather than funding terror mosques and empty buildings. We live in interesting days.

Arthur C. Clarke wrote a story on this theme two decades ago - set in a disguised Sri Lanka instead of Indonesia (if you turn the pic upside down you can see it's based in or near Celebes). It's called The Fountains of Paradise http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fountains_of_Paradise
