Nah...likewise it was supposed to be a rhetorical question !
But do tell me where exactly do the Arabs stand ? Or have you not seen some of the sublime developments that Mosa has been posting ? The Arabs of 20 years ago may have been living of petro-dollars but this generation seems to be smart enough to invest much of the wealth back into their people; and so at any rate...they've got their acts together and they are very quickly progressing in the right direction ! And yeah..
they're way ahead of us (and Kazakhistan) is many of the things that matter !
