Scavs, black gold is oil....The region has money from oil....But Dubai is smart and has become a major financial center b/c they know that oil in the region doesn't last forever.

Built by slaves so the elite can watch horse racing. No gambling and no drinking...unless, of course, you stay at one of the fine hotels Dubai has to offer.

Really they can take their tracks and all the horses they buy and shove them up their royal ass.

demand is still sky high--until people start staying home, it's going to be high.

Or a better alternative fuel comes available. Ethanol is not the answer either. They got the right idea, but it takes too much corn to produce the stuff.
