Reply #18: is this bad?

[pitohui]

i know zilcherooni abt UAE but off the cuff the best way to keep your enemy from bombing you is to intertwine yr survival w. yr enemy's survival

i don't consider the UAE my enemy but clearly some do

my thinking is if we are intertwined financially w. these folks then we are all invested in ea. other's survival

russia will never bomb us now nor will we bomb russia, too many of our people are over there, too many of their people are over here

getting to be the same w. china

get the intelligent arab nations invested in our survival and there will be no more 9-11s

we are going to have to get over the automatic knee jerk arab equals bad reflex


on edit -- jcmach1, are you the DUer who works in the UAE? cool to get yr read on it

on second edit -- did you see where dubai voted themselves hippest city on the planet, i assume that's pretty silly but one day i'll drop by and check it out, why not, they obviously do know how to draw tourists
