Comment on Dubai the Winner in a ‘Game’ of Regional Turmoil by Sam 99

I am not sure just by ending on a positive note there’s any pettiness involved. Isn’t the point that for many, many people Dubai has allowed people to change their futures. I thought that was the point of it all.

Of course, transformational opportunities mean you need something to offer, and some are just excluded except from a very basic level of improvement – laborers for example. I would say the lives of their families and children back home are improved considerably though.

Taking a slightly positive view does not make the point less true, although i agree you could have been more downbeat. But thats personality. Glass half full, glass half empty…
