Not surprising the Saudi's also built up a financial house of cards like Bush did over here.

Is that the moderation, tolerance, or conservatism you speak of? @sargasso

Dubaians rely on a large supply of forced slave labor. Is that the moderation, tolerance, or conservatism you speak of?

But it turns out that common sense doesn't give you the answer: http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2009/11/when_is_uncerta.html If you you had proof that there will be global warming, then "we should do something". But if you had proof that it was a million to one against global warming, then "we should do something because what if that one happens." It's like why we buy insurance. If the potential loss is great enough, even though the odds are way in your favor, you can't stand the loss so you buy the insurance. Kind of gives you some idea of why Gore overstates everything so much. If he can make the consequences dire enough, he can get his program through against any reasoned argument. It's only common sense. There’s a comment in here about the common sense logic that we are affecting global warming. But it turns out that common sense doesn’t give you the answer:
