Dubai's Disneyland

Outright Americanization of the Middle East may be a too far fetched concept considering it's still an Islamic region with Islamic values however to hear of a "Dubai-Land" some sort of Arab's version of America's Disneyland should not have been too surprising as American "stuffs" does have a way to creep into a society, like MTV, Ophrah, Mcdonalds, Starbucks and of course the I-phones and the I-Pads.

Like it or not, although USA may not be the largest economy in the future, it's icons are still something people aspire for. People that enjoy life do think of new ways to enjoy it and consuming more is part of that process which some may argue is the cause of the problem. Debatable.

Problem is credit. It's fiat money. Creating money by printing more "In God We Trust" - $US dollars which has these words inscribed on it. Like the song goes, making love out of nothing at all. But USA is a great consuming society & they know how to be one that demands the best out of their corporations ingenuity & creativity and of course the flip side of it is the ugly nature of human beings, greed.

That's another story by itself. The point here is no other country has come close in offering new products that the world desires with a passion consistently & universally.
