Abu Dubai - wait for it - you heard it here first.

Renaming the tower was either imposed on Sheikh Mo by his 'brothers' down the road. Or it was the world's best bit of brown nosing. Either way, it probably accounts for the bilious yellow dishdash he was wearing.

I am personally gutted, I would have thought since the Burj Tower was originally named after me I would have thought that they could have at least told me in advance rather than finding out like this!!

It`s come as a bit of shock I can tell you, Tower Ranger!!

I think the 3rd world workers, who built all this stuff, and who are treated like $h!t by Arab nations, would appreciate the Arabs spending more of their unbelievable wealth on assisting those 3rd world nations into better govt, better health regimes, and generally compassionate aid.
Do you mean like our civilized western world which constantly assist the third world populations by massively investing in blasting "compassionate aid" (Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza and soon Yemen)? As far as I know most of the bombs dropped during the last 10 years haven't been made or paid by Arab nations...

S.F.L.Y. - I think you're missing something here. The nations you speak so generously about, are either hotbeds of, or actively assisting, in the fomenting of anti-Western terrorism, specifically fanatical Muslims who are intent on destruction of Western culture, and its replacement with hardline Sharia Law. These people need to be given the message, it ain't gonna happen, in the only manner they understand.

I'm happy to fund and support any war operation that bombs the crap out of people who are intent on rampant, random, destructive violence, that targets anyone (including innocent civilian bystanders) - let alone anyone in their way - and that includes moderate Muslims.
You seem to conveniently forget that these fanatical Muslims have killed, and continue to kill, more Muslims, than any Western country bombing campaign. I guess you believe these kind of people deserve support??

I guess you are also happy to support an Arab nation leader who calls for the total annihilation of one particular Middle East nation? - and which leader is setting out on a devious path to achieve the annihilation of that nation, via surreptitiously acquired nuclear capabilities? Or are you just in favour of continually sending rockets on an ad-hoc basis, into a neighbouring nation, to let them know that your major firm belief, is that indiscrimate murder is the only solution?

onetrac--not that I disagree......but I believe you are alluding to Iran. Iranians are NOT Arabs but Persians.

Perhaps if you stopped bombing the cr*p out of them they might not be so pissed off?

LOL - how do you think Israel acquired her nukes?

As far as I know the Arab nations which have been previously blamed for their abusive and indecent money spending are amongst the best partners of our western world. A lot of money might be flowing in the region, but some of it goes directly to our western nations and when I see how it has been spent over the last decade, I can't really say who should really be ashamed.

I prefer to see money spent on stupid fireworks than on weapons which are killing innocents based on bunches of lies constantly provided by the same sources for over a decade, especially when it ends on a peace Nobel prize nomination.

A moron tried to burn his underpants in a plane and we are again told to wage a new war. How successful were the previous expeditions? Has anything been proven regarding mass destruction weapons, anthrax or Bin Laden?
