No one that lives in Dubai or the UAE is remotely surprised at this video. It's only the most extreme example of the mindset that prevails.

But what is more interesting to me, and more loathesome, is the instant rush to defensive, whiny, blame-deflecting attempts to avoid taking an ounce of responsibility. That, more than the actions on the video, epitomizes the "culture". Never, ever accepting blame, taking accountability. Blame the Americans. Try to draw ludicrous, irrelevant parallels. Deflect, deny. Completely cowardly. The internet must drive the perfumed ones crazy, as it draws the curtain back on (at least some) of the perversion that goes on. No more secrets.

It is a mindset that only prompts contempt and complete lack of respect. And why the region will never achieve greatness.
