Mate, my point was just that all non-Western countries went through the process that UAE is probably going through. You just admitted it yourself. That is why I do not understand why people are badmouthing 1.5 million big UAE (native population) if they seek cooperation and help from foreigners. What did people exactly expect?
All the non-Western countries did so themselves. Hell, it's even only a few leading Western countries that have had a historical monopoly on technology and science for the past many centuries. Especially Germany, UK, France etc. Basically those 3 were dominating. Aside from the Russians, mostly only during the Soviet Union AND obviously the Americans who have been the leaders since WW2.
Also this is not an Arab project. It's an Emirati project. People should know the difference.
Anyway I don't expect anything big before a long time as UAE has limits such as population and manpower. Which should be obvious for anyone.
But I do like the initiative and that locals WILL be involved and hopefully such projects will spread to other parts of the Arab and Muslim world as there is enough of talented manpower. They just need the right environment to succeed in. Now the best ones are just studying abroad and then afterwards staying and working in the West and the US.
Anyway let the retards here make fun of Emiratis. I would like to see what they would amount to with a similar tiny population.
Quite frankly I don't bother writing with the ignorants and haters here. Sick and tired of it.
