It would make a nice parking lot.....

Lots of parking for the oil workers who won't have jobs since the world economy must go "green"

Seriously - I am so suprised no onoe is connecting the dots here. If the petroleum market tanks - and it will at some point - then your going to have a slew of arab countries with NO chance to sustain any form of an economy.

Ok - now you have a bunch of religious, dirt poor zealots with arms, who now have no hope of ever getting any more of your money.... what do ya think they will do? Any one hear that jihad call going off - Europe here they come.....

You were warned.

Believe it or not, but we are beyond peak oil, so...

Why do you think Arab investors are buying themselves so heavily into Western corporations and want joint ventures...? Several of the world's fattest and richest investement fond companies - are sitting at the Gulf. When they have run out of oil, they still must not work, probably. We will work for them, at least very many of us.

I thought the leader of the House, Nancy Pelosi, and the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid surrendered a couple of years back. Yes i'm sure they did.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said twice Sunday that Iraq “is a failure,” adding that President Bush’s troop surge has “not produced the desired effect.”

Didn't Mr. Obama order a troop surge in Afghanistan? Another failure by Ms. Pelosi's standards.

Harry Reid in his own words.

Have you seen Dubai? Abu Dhabi? Those cities are swimming in money these days. And the UAE doesn't have oil.
