The injection of foreign money is definitely needed in this economy, lets just know who we are dealing with.

Still, even Paschal says there are elements of society in the UAE that may cause an agreement some trouble. “At first glance the UAE is reminiscent of a European style country set in the Middle East, but there is a sub culture of Arab society in both Abu and Dubai enveloped in prostitution, human trafficking, and the defining of a person solely by their financial worth,” Paschal said.

Interesting article, we all should no more.

You know, when I hear comments like that of Yousef Al Otaiba, I don't really know what to think. On one hand I see my fave NY skyscraper being taken away from me. On the other I see an economy that without these Arab/Chinese/Singaporians (oh yea, and Russian) saviors, would be much worst off.

At least, comments like Al Otaiba 's make it seem like everything's fine... are we only daydreaming?!

The more apt idiom would be: What happens in UAE, stays in UAE. Amongst other morsels proffered about Dubailand: an Eye of Dubai (Sorry London, it's bigger than yours). Not to be outdone by the chaps in Dubai, Abu Dhabi is mounting a bid with the IOC, proposing a truly colossal indoor Winter Olympics venue. UAE is destined to become a tourist Mecca. And to Inq, you heard it here first!

Wasn't the American slogan Money Talks?
Apparently they are afraid for foreign money too....
What's next, the war on foreign money?

God those guys are paranoid.

The USA has reached the point of needing large scale foreign direct investment in order to balance the books at the macro economic scale. 

They are in effect selling off the physical assets and domestic business assets of the country to raise capital.

This frightens the USA oligarchs because it presages their loss of control of the country.

That is an insane amount of money.
Gee and I though America loved money..Oh well maybe just Oil.
