Before this descends too far into a pointless, racist slanging match, I will just say this, OMDB-pilot. Here is the entire problem in a nice little gem
to create flashiest, biggest, newest of EVERYTHING? Does that devalue the nation you come from or does it make you jealous of this small Muslim country's achievements that your forefathers never envisioned?
You believe that building these monuments to greed and stupidity is an achievement. That, dear fellow, is the problem. How is bankrupting your state (Dubai is a state, not a nation) by doing these things an achievement? So caught up in the razzle dazzle culture that you wouldn't know what a real 'achievement' was if it landed on your head. Like what, you say? Oh, how about bringing democracy or rule of law to your feudal autocracy, or if building is such a big 'thing'- then why not build education systems and hospitals of a standard that your leaders (and anyone else who can afford it) don't head off overseas for medical care?
I could go on and on, but you get the idea.

"Achievements"! Bwahahaha. Do you still believe that you are fooling the world?

Big, shiny building open again yet? What 'achievements' are left to sell to Abu Dhabi when the next bond falls due?
