Or it may be that people read the 911 report and have concerns about how
the USE regulates their industries

http://www.9-11commission.gov/staff_statements/911_TerrFin_Monograph.pdf

"There is little question that the near-total lack of regulation and
oversight of the financial industry in the USE and Pakistan before 9/11
allowed these activities to flourish."

Dubai is in one of those 'sister' city arraignments with Detroit. I might
trust whoever runs Dubai to run Detroit only because our current mayor
seems extremely ethically challenged and any change would be appreciated.
We also presented Saddam the key to the city way back when ( $170,000 buys
you a key and honorary Detroit citizenship  )

Years before Saddam Hussein became an enemy to the United States, he was
reportedly seen as a friend and made an honorary Detroit citizen. In 1980
when Saddam Hussein was on good terms with America, he was quite the giver.
Hussein donated money to help several churches in the motor city, Detroit.

There are pictures of a meeting between a Detroit priest and Saddam Hussein
when he accepted the donation.

Father Jacob Yasso of the Sacred Heart Chaldean Church says, "He said,
'We hear you have a debt on your church'. I said, 'Yes Mr. President'. He
said,
'How much?'. I said '$170,000'. He said, 'I'll pay it off for you'."

Father Yasso returned the favor at that same meeting 23 years ago. He gave
Hussein a key to the city of Detroit making him an honorary citizen.
