It's Dubai... have you read about Dubai? The UAE has some *very* different ideas about what it is to be Muslim/arabic. The only reason (I can gather) that they recognize the Taliban is so they won't come storming into their designer islands and upset the millionares who have built mansions there....
I, for one, am not worried. It, in some ways, could herald a new era of cooperation between the US and Arab countries... perhaps be a great show of faith in each other. Who knows?
