And if anyone isn't aware of it, One WTC is under construction and is up to over 30 stories, with concrete poured for 26 or 27 as of the end of July.

its not that you dont have slave labour. thats not the issue. unemployment is so high jn the states that if work was really in demand, that those projects would create those thousands of jobs that needed to be filled. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have paved the way for their mega developments by ridding themselves of red tape that is endemic in the western world. in fact it is one thing i admire most about the UAE, it ability to 'get shit done'. what usually takes years of political infighting generally takes a few months here (like the Wage Protection System WPS that was introduced about a year ago now)
But lets not throw stones if we live in glass houses shall we. If we dig hard enough we could see how the western world subjugated the indigenous population for their own commercial gains
