oh of course they need the money...there are more hotels to be built out on man made islands in the ocean:rolleyes:

I don't think that anyone really is down on them because of their business practices...it bothers ME when they try to present themselves as benevolent 'sportsmen' when they are not...they are businessmen first and foremost.

Who knows, maybe they think they will run out of oil soon. :p

Anyways, the fact that they are extremely rich wasnt the point.

6% of the GDP (according to Wikipedia)... still must be tons of money.

Also aquired lots of off-shore oil. (according to the internet)

If 6% is a ton of money then think how much the other 94% is.
