Dubai: Construction on Crack

I was reviewing some of the architecture going on in Dubai today and realized there's a LOT MORE going on over there than I previously believed. I've been seeing the documentaries on Dubai and Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum for a while, but some of the stuff they're talking about now is even more extravagant than the world or palm man-made islands!

For instance, they're building Dubailand, which will be twice the size of Walt Disney World in Florida, and they're building the world's largest and busiest international airport. When is enough enough? Couldn't all the Sheik's money be used to help the poor people of Africa or help solve world diseases that can be eradicated? It just seems like a frivilus waste of money.

Here's a fun fact too: There are more construction workers in Dubai than citizens.
