Over here the ambitions and corruption prevail, therefore the consolidation will be due in some time ahead.
Unforunately, not only ambitions and corruption prevail, but also entirely too much easy money and overheated egos. I suspect that future generations of considerably poorer Khaleejis will openly ask themselves "what was going through the minds of our great-grandparents to squander the single largest natual resource in the history of mankind?"
Of course, I will have probably received my final reward before then (death) and probably none of us will want to be anywhere close to the Middle East when the future generations demand the answer to this and other deep and disturbing questions.
